Nakba Awareness Week

This Tuesday thru Friday

“You can’t separate freedom from peace because no one can be at peace unless he/she has freedom”

The day and evening schedule for Nakba events this week
Volunteers are NEEDED for Set-Up and Tear Down and to participate in symbolic actions

In coordination with The Committee For Justice In Palestine, We encourage your devoted participation in the events planned for this week. Remember there is strength in numbers. The Israeli occupation of Palestine is illegal, it is unjust, and it is ethnic cleansing. We must stand united against this, if we don’t who will?

There is going to be a number of symbolic actions that are representative of the injustices Palestinians are forced to endure. We NEED people for this to be effective. If you’re interested in participating in the Die-In, Mock Check Point, and/or Human Wall

- please email Banan Al-Akhras at alakhras.1@buckeyemail.osu.edu, Pouneh B. Navabi via facebook, or Ashanthi DeSilva at desilva.77@buckeyemail.osu.edu. You can also join the facebook group link attached below.
The evening events will be just as exciting. The goal is to get OSU students and faculty from the oval to attend  evening activities to learn about the occupation and what we can do from here–so please attend and BRING FRIENDS!
