Note: This event involves backlash against Canadian politicians who support justice for Palestine. But it’s a good line up of speakers, and there could be insight into the same issues in the U.S. and Europe.

Join us for an online rally titled "Defend Sarah Jama. Stop the Attack on Gaza."

This event is taking place in response to the Ontario legislature censuring Ontario MPP Sarah Jama and Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles’ decision to expel Sarah Jama from the caucus over her opposition to Israeli violence in Palestine.
