Join KPFK on May 9 in Mid-Wilshire to honor Palestinian history and resilience.
@RamzyBaroud delivers the keynote — editor of Palestine Chronicle, author of Before the Flood, and one of the most widely read Palestinian journalists alive.
@AmerZahr hosts. They're joined by Chris Smalls, who was detained aboard the Gaza Freedom Flotilla; Nidal Rafeedie, VP of Teamsters Local 1932, who pushed his 14,000-member local to publicly call for ceasefire and a halt to U.S. military aid; Rolla Selbak, a Palestinian filmmaker dropped by her agency for speaking on Palestine; Miriam Arghandiwal, who organizes Hollywood workers for Palestine; and Fatin Judeh of Unmute Humanity. Medicine poet Dr. Jaiya John opens the program and Rev. Joel Yoshonis of Christians for a Free Palestine delivers the invocation. The SAWA Dance Ensemble performs dabke.
After the program, the courtyard opens: Palestinian food catered by Falafel Inc, a modern souk from For Your Viewing Pleasure, a book signing with Dr. Baroud, art exhibits by Unmute Humanity and Palestinian Youth Movement, and portraits by LA Photo Party.
Your ticket directly funds KPFK 90.7FM, LA’s only anti-war, listener-supported radio station.
