Gaza is the compass!
This is our guiding principle for the Second Annual People’s Conference for Palestine on August 29-31 in Detroit, Michigan.
Gaza keeps our path true: it reminds us of our direction in the struggle and the sacrifices that have been made by the Palestinian people; it exposes the forces that we have to contend with on the path to liberation. For this reason, Zionism and imperialism are waging a continuous genocide on Gaza, and we, the people of the world, will fight at every turn to reject it.
With Gaza as our guide, we aim to convene at this critical juncture to continue building and strengthening a mass movement in North America. Join us to strategize, prepare, and utilize the existing skills and capacity of our movement in this next phase of struggle.
The People’s Conference for Palestine provides a broad and open forum for the politically diverse movement for Palestine. During the conference, we will engage in intellectual and political discussion and networking.
Through panels, workshops, exhibitions, and cultural performances, this conference will critically assess the gains and victories of the movement, provide political clarity on the state of the region, and orient the movement to the next phase of our struggle: one that will require clarity, unity, and the rebuilding of Gaza.
In this critical moment, our movement must focus on strengthening our people’s steadfastness, supporting Gaza through rebuilding efforts, and committing to confronting Zionism everywhere. In a few months, we will meet as community members, organizations, students, artists and cultural workers to sharpen our political analysis, leverage our collective skills to support rebuilding efforts in Gaza, and to strategize on holding the genociders accountable.
See you in August!
