Register: In person or online: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/palestine-and-the-global-university-tickets-1074320263829
This teach-in will map academic repression, scholasticide and resistance across and between US universities and Israel/Palestine. Panelists will explore how the on-going repression of pro-Palestinian speech and activism on US college campuses have affected students and staff, the network of institutions within and outside of the US shaping US campus policy towards pro-Palestinian speech and activism, the state of US universities and their global reach in the region, all situated within the on-going scholasticide of the entire educational infrastructure of Gaza, and the killings of many of its educators. Panelists will also discuss the unique role of US universities in movement buildling.

United for Gaza
FIrst Unitarian Church, 1011 SW 12th Ave, Portland, OR 97205

Join us for an urgent benefit supporting UNRWA's critical work in Gaza. Reception to follow with coffee and traditional Palestinian sweets
The United States is the only country that has cut its funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Other countries have either maintained or increased their support for UNRWA. This cutting of funding is medievally cruel because UNRWA is the only organization with the infrastructure of staff, warehouses and vehicles to deliver this aid. In addition, UNRWA provides jobs, education, healthcare, and food to millions of Palestinian refugees in camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the West Bank.
Learn about UNRWA and to help
support it. An official from UNRWA USA and a former UN employee working in Palestine will speak. A reception with coffee, tea and Palestinian sweets will follow the event.
