A public assembly aiming to bring people together to learn about and get 
involved in Tadamon!'s ongoing political campaigns; including the campaign for 
Boycott, Sanctions & Divestment of the apartheid state of Israel and the 
campaign to challenge the listing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization by 
the Canadian government.

This public assembly will provide a detailed overview on ways to get involved 
and support Tadamon! -- solidarity in Arabic -- a Montreal-based collective 
that works in solidarity with struggles for self-determination in Lebanon and 
Palestine and within their Diaspora communities in Montreal.

In recent months Tadamon! has contributed to a series of major events in 
Montreal, including multiple demonstrations against the ongoing Israeli siege 
on Gaza bringing hundreds of people to the streets of Montreal, film-screenings 
and cultural events as part of the Artists Against Apartheid initiative...

Tadamon!'s upcoming public assembly will announce a new organizing structure, 
which will encourage the formation of autonomous working-committees, to engage 
in project or event specific goals in coordination with Tadamon!. Project based 
committees aim to facilitate involvement in Tadamon! from people with diverse 
interests and varying levels of commitments, below is an outline of proposed 
committees and structures.
