DESCRIPTION:Thursday, Oct. 12, 7 - 9 PM \n\nJoin Bay Area Women in Black and the Women 
 of Color Resource Center \n\nLiving Under Israeli Occupation: An Evening 
 with Margo Okazawa-Rey, Feminist Anti-Militarist Activist and Scholar 
 \n\nMargo Okazawa-Rey is currently working and living in Palestine and 
 brings us her compelling perspective on issues such as: what are the daily 
 experiences of Palestinian women living under Israeli Occupation?  What 
 have been the impacts of US- and Israeli-led boycott of Hamas leadership of 
 the PNA and of the recent Israeli bombings of Lebanon?  What are the 
 responsibilities of US-based progressive feminist activists in addressing 
 the conflict? \n\nThese questions will frame the presentation and the 
 conversation that will follow.  The talk will include showing a short 
 documentary video about the impacts of the Isolation Wall on women and 
 photographs of the transformation of Dahiya Al- Bareed, formerly a vibrant 
 neighborhood in East Jerusalem, into a near ghost town.  There will also be 
 discussion of what it means to live in the Occupied Palestinian Territory 
 as a US woman of color. \n\nFor nearly the past two years, Margo has been 
 the Feminist Research Consultant at the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and 
 Counseling, with offices in East Jerusalem and Ramallah, where she is 
 assisting in establishing a community-based feminist research unit and 
 teaching feminist research methods to local women. Margo Okazawa-Rey’s 
 work in Palestine is an extension of her longstanding commitment to 
 anti-militarist activism and to activist scholarship.  She also is 
 Professor at Fielding Graduate University and Professor Emerita of Social 
 Work at San Francisco State University. \n\nLocation: Kehilla Synagogue,
