In Defense of Solidarity: Palestine on Campus A virtual film screening & panel discussion
We will be screening a one-hour supercut and panel discussion of Al Jazeera’s The Lobby – USA, a look into the counterinsurgency projects designed to disrupt Palestine solidarity movement building. This supercut will focus on U.S. college campuses and the Israel lobby’s efforts to disorganize and undermine campus activism.
Thursday, October 15th
5–7pm PT / 8–10pm ET
The one-hour screening will be immediately followed by a panel of experts who will dig into the ways the film’s themes show up in real-life Palestine organizing on campuses. Speakers will include:
- Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi (San Francsisco State University and AMED: Arab & Muslim Ethnicities & Diasporas)
- Kristian Davis Bailey (Palestine Legal)
- Khury Petersen-Smith (Institute for Palestine Studies)
This event is co-sponsored by our partners at Palestine Legal, USACBI, Center for Constitutional Rights, Independent Jewish Voices - Canada, Palestinian Youth Movement, National Students for Justice in Palestine, Institute for Palestine Studies, and Adalah Justice Project. If you don’t already, we encourage you to follow and support their work.
