AN EVENING OF DISCUSSION AND SOLIDARITY FOR GAZA
Fri Oct 6, 5:30-7:00 pm PT (followed by potluck dinner), at St. James Presbyterian Church, 910 14th Street, Bellingham, WA 98255
We welcome Yousef Aljamal of Gaza (contributor) and Jennifer Bing (editor) to discuss the powerful book Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire.* Speakers include Drs. Alice Rothchild and Bill Slaughter discussing Access Denied: Human Rights and Health Care Refused in Gaza. Yousef and Jennifer are on a speaking tour organized by the American Friends Service Committee.
Gaza, home to two million people, continues to face suffocating conditions imposed by Israel. For sixteen years Palestinians in Gaza have lived under a brutal blockade, isolated from the rest of historic Palestine and the world. AFSCs new anthology, Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire, imagines the future of Gaza beyond the cruelties of occupation and Apartheid. It imagines what the future of Gaza could be, while reaffirming the critical role of Gaza in Palestinian identity, history, and liberation. Light in Gaza is a wide-ranging anthology that includes new works by eleven Palestinian writers and poets
