Sacred Good Friday Protest
Federal Building, 1220 SW 3rd Ave
You are invited to a Good Friday noon protest of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, and the chaotic attacks on our democracy hurting so many of us.

Palestinian Land Day
Westmoreland Park, 7530 SE 22nd Ave
On March 30, 1976, Palestinians rose up in protest against Israel’s theft of thousands of acres of land in the Galilee. Six Palestinians were killed, hundreds injured, and countless more arrested — but their resistance sparked a movement that lives on.
Today, that struggle continues. From the ongoing genocide in Gaza to the relentless settler violence and land seizures in the West Bank, Palestinians are fighting for survival against a system of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and dispossession.
This isn’t just history — it’s happening right now. Entire neighborhoods are being wiped off the map. Families are being forced from their homes. Farmlands are being stolen and torched.
This struggle is not ours alone. From Palestine to Turtle Island, Indigenous peoples around the world continue to resist land theft, ethnic cleansing, and erasure.
This Land Day, stand with Palestine. Stand with Gaza. Stand with the West Bank. Stand with all Indigenous peoples fighting for liberation.
✊🏽 March & Rally
😷 Wear a mask!
Our land, our rights — we will not be moved.

Movie: The Palestine Exception
Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton St, Portland
This documentary was made by PSU professors Jan Haaken and Jennifer Ruth with contributions from other educators.
"After years of right-wing assaults on higher education, attacks took a new form in 2023 and 2024 that has been described as the new McCarthyism. As students across the country organize protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel–the “Palestine exception”–are shattered. This film features professors and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from administrators, the media, the police and politicians. The documentary unfolds as a story of college campuses as sites of both rebellion and repression, places where personal and collective histories converge in unexpected ways from administrators, the media, the police and politicians.
