[van-announce] Save the Date! Commemorate the Continuing Nakba, May 15 and 19 in Vancouver

[Charlotte Kates]

*SAVE THE DATE!*

On the 64th anniversary of the occupation of Palestine, and as the
Palestinian people enter the 64th year of dispossession and exile,* the
Vancouver Coalition to Commemorate Al-Nakba* is organizing 2 events to
commemorate the Nakba, stand against the continuing Nakba, and call for the
right of return for Palestinian refugees and freedom for Palestine. 64
years after the Nakba - the war of 1948 in which over 800,000 Palestinians
were driven from their homes and land and the state of Israel created on
that land - Palestinians continue to struggle for their right to return,
for freedom from occupation, for justice, and against the Nakba that
continues today.

*Save the date now and plan to be part of these 2 important events! *

*Tuesday, May 15*
*6 PM - 10 PM*
*Community Supper: Sharing Stories, Creating Resistance*
*Location TBA *
*This community supper will bring together the community to share stories,
creative work, and discussions about indigenous resistance, continuing
Nakba, and struggles for freedom.*

*Saturday, May 19*

*MARCH OF RETURN: MARCH FOR PALESTINE*

*Gather at Clark Park (14th and Commercial) at 2 PM, March to Grandview Park

Nakba, calling for justice, freedom and return for Palestine! We will also

people. Creative actions welcome! This is a family friendly march.*
