Virtual Delegation: The Gentrification of Yafa

by Eyewitness Palestine

On August 27th at 12pm EST, join us virtually in Yafa, the city of oranges by the sea.

Yafa has long played a role in the resistance and struggle for liberation. In January 1932, Yafa hosted the first Palestinian Youth Conference, a landmark in the national struggle. The conference resulted in the establishment of an organization dedicated to resisting occupation and Zi0ni5m, while calling for full Palestinian independence within a unified Arab state.

Learn more about the struggle in Yafa on this month’s virtual delegation, featuring @abed_a88 Abed Abu Shahadeh: an indigenous political activist, community organizer, and former city council member who has been fighting for Palestinian rights.

We will also hear from Palestinian politician Sami Abu Shahdeh, former member of the Kenesset.
