Join the Nakba Education Project for a discussion on the ongoing Nakba ("Catastrophe" in Arabic) affecting Palestinians both in Palestine and in the diaspora.
Speakers from Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights will provide a historical overview of the Nakba and the Right of Return, the forcible displacement of Palestinians since before 1948 and continuing today, and the practicalities of return for refugees.
Audiences will be encouraged to consider their role in supporting the call for the Right of Return and how to integrate the Nakba into US-based activism
