SUMMARY:Nakba Day
DESCRIPTION:On May 11\, 2022\, acclaimed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by the Israeli military. Shireen was fatally shot by an Israeli military sniper while she was reporting for Al Jazeera on Israel’s “military raids” on the Jenin Refugee Camp in the northern West Bank. \nThe “military raids” near Jenin happened just before Nakba Day\, marked every year on May 15. Nakba refers to the catastrophe of the destruction of more than 500 Palestinian villages and the forced displacement of over 750\,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948 as Israel became a state. \nScholars agree that the Nakba began before 1948 and has never ended. It is an ongoing reality today for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. \nCommemorate the Nakba with us this Friday\, and come to other events this month supporting Palestinians\, promoting peace\, and confronting militarization. \nJoin us this Friday at our weekly peace vigil\, 4th & Water Street\, as we remember Shireen Ablu Akleh and commemorate the 78th anniversary of Nakba Day\, or find a Nakba Day event near you.

SUMMARY:Kite Festival - solidarity with occupied Burin
DESCRIPTION:The residents of Burin\, in the occupied West Bank\, invite people around the world to fly kites with them between July 4 to July 12. Every year\, residents and activists of the village organize the Kite Festival\, where the whole community comes together to build and fly kites in the skies of Burin. The festival represents an act of resistance and a sign of the daily struggle of the residents in the face of the harsh reality of the occupation. The message of the festival is: \n“We have the right to smile\, we have the right to have fun. We have the right to be happy\, we have the right to play\, we have the right to move. From the Burin mountains to the sands of Gaza they will not kill our hope.” \nOur partners at Palestine Action of South Sound are organizing a Kite Festival in Olympia\, Sunday July 5\, 12-5pm\, near the Heritage Fountain. and invite people to help prepare kites every Monday night ahead of the Kite Festival on July 5th.  Reach out to Michelle ((akkadia@gmail.com) to help volunteer during the Kite Festival. \nEVERYONE IS WELCOME.  Come join us designing\, decorating\, and flying kites. \nJewish Voice for Peace Tacoma is also hosting a Kite Festival on July 5th\, 2pm at Dune Peninsula Park. \nRead more about the Kite Festival here and register to host your own solidarity event.

SUMMARY:Palestine Day at the Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join the Rachel Corrie Foundation at Dancing Goats and Singing Chickens Farm for Palestine Day at the Farm\, a free gathering rooted in community\, land\, and connection. \nThe day will include children’s activities\, a farm tour\, a facilitated plant exploration and conversation\, and a chance to connect with the Corries\, RCF staff\, and community. Free lunch of maqloobeh and falafel will be provided by Food Not Bombs. Come ready to spend meaningful time with people who care deeply about this land and the people on it. \nProgram of the Day: \n\n10:00 – 11:00am – Gathering\, connecting\, kids activities\n11:00am – 12:00pm – Farm tour with Farmer Ayub\n12:00 – 12:30pm – Lunch\n12:30 – 1:30pm – Plant exploration and conversation with Michelle Ryder\n1:30 – 2:00pm – Closing\n\nAt the heart of the day\, Michelle Ryder will facilitate a conversation on what the plants around us reveal about who we are. She brings a grounding lens to land stewardship rooted in forensic botany\, anti-colonial inquiry\, and deep love for the living world. We gather on Nisqually homeland\, a prairie ecosystem that Indigenous people cultivated through fire for generations\, and where the plants around us carry hundreds of years of history. \nMichelle will guide an interactive exploration of what the presence and absence of plants reveal about colonization\, ecological disruption\, and our responsibility to this place. She draws connections between the threatened native oaks of this region and the olive trees of Palestine\, and invites us to investigate what grows right outside our door with fresh eyes and honest questions. \nHow does the colonization of land shape stewardship here\, and how does it shape life for Palestinians? Come ready to look closely\, ask honestly\, and share. \nThis event is free. Please RSVP here.

SUMMARY:An Ordinary Insanity - film and discussion
DESCRIPTION:An Ordinary Insanity \nOn the nuclear threat \nBy Daniel Ellberg \nSunday\, July 26 \n5:00 PM -6:30 PM \nTraditions Fair Trade / Soul Cafe \nIn this 29-minute documentary\, renowned whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg provides a powerful wakeup call about the global threat posed by nuclear weapons and how we can dramatically reduce the real and present danger of nuclear annihilation. \nBefore he released the top secret Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War\, Ellsberg was a nuclear war planner with access to classified information on U.S. nuclear strategy. \nFilmed a year before his death at age 92\, Ellsberg speaks with clarity and urgency about the dangers we face\, noting\, ”I’ve long said that to my last breath I will be doing what I can to postpone and avert the risk of nuclear war.” \nWith ongoing conflicts heightening nuclear tensions and with the recent end of the new START treaty potentially triggering a renewed arms race\, An Ordinary Insanity is a timely film to help mobilize broad public concern and action for arms control and nuclear disarmament. \nThis free event is organized by a community member involved in the Olympia Coalition to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.(OCANW) The Rachel Corrie Foundation is a partner organization of OCANW. \n
