This special event is dedicated to raising essential funds for the living and food expenses of at least 20 students who have been displaced by the ongoing genocide in Gaza. These students are continuing their education at the University of Washington, and your contribution will provide them with the support they need to thrive and succeed.
Shoes For Sidra is a community art installation dedicated to Sidra Hassouna, a 7-year-old Palestinian girl, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Join us to show grief to Sidra and over 16,500* children killed in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
The date of 29 November is observed as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People since 1978. This date, which was chosen because of its meaning and significance to the Palestinian people, is based on the call by the United Nations General Assembly for an annual observance of the resolution on the partition of Palestine, intended to establish an Arab State and a Jewish State, which was adopted on 29 November 1947.
