One Year of Genocide, One Year of Resistance - Community Picnic & Fundraiser
Join PYM DMV for our annual commemoration of the olive harvest season in Palestine. This will be a day full of family activities, cultural performances, local vendors, raffles and more! All proceeds from this picnic will support our Strengthening Steadfastness $1 million fundraiser for the Middle East Children’s Alliance(MECA).
MECA is a non-profit that has local community aid workers that provide food, shelter, medical supplies, and more. Since the beginning of the war, MECA and its partners have provided over 640,000 meals, 20,000 hygiene kits, 1 million gallons of water, and 18,000 sets of warm clothes to Palestinians in Gaza, including the north. We gather to raise money to support our people’s steadfastness, and ensure their resistance and resilience is sustainable.
