Palestinian Women in Revolution: A Multimedia Journey

Palestinian women of the working classes, the poor, and the fallaheen were at the frontlines of the 1936-1939 Great Revolt and the revolutionary activities of the 1960s-70s. They offer us a decolonial inheritance, empowering us to confront Zionist settler-colonialism and US Empire and to challenge structural power in our communities and movements. 

Join the Palestinian Feminist Collective for a virtual event to honor women of the Palestinian revolutionary tradition and reflect on the lessons they teach us about class, political, and gendered oppression and resistance.

We are joined in the discussion and multimedia journey by Salam Awad, Maha Nassar, and Nadia Yaqub.

Join us in August 26th / 10 AM Pacific/ 12PM Central/ 1PM Eastern/ 9PM in Palestine
