DESCRIPTION:Alan Goodman was a participant in the Gaza Freedom March on Dec 31, 2009, 
 in Cairo, and covered this historic event for Revolution newspaper. \n 
 \n\nAlan's slideshow-presentation illustrates and brings to life the 
 critical situation for the people of Gaza one year after Israel’s 
 massacre. It highlights the importance of the Gaza Freedom March, in 
 breaking the siege of Gaza. \n\nThis presentation paints a vivid picture of 
 challenges of persevering with the mission of the march in Egypt after 
 Egyptian authorities banned the marchers from going to Gaza – including 
 the “great debates” among the participants over whether to accept an 
 offer from the Egyptian government to allow 100 of the 1300+ marchers into 
 Gaza as a humanitarian mission.  \n\nAnd it paints a living picture of 
 “everyday people” from around the world who, at great risk and 
 sacrifice, went on the march. \n\nBased on interviews with dozens of 
 participants – some of whom have been to Gaza recently – Alan 
 Goodman’s report-back from the Gaza Freedom March paints a living picture 
 of the situation faced by the people of Gaza. \n\nAnd, from the perspective 
 of a reporter from Revolution newspaper (revcom.us), Alan’s presentation 
 poses important questions about the global forces behind the blockade of 
 Gaza, and the oppression of the Palestinian people.\nBring your toughest 
 questions about the situation of the Palestinian people, and the state of 
 Israel! Q&A / discussion to follow presentation.\n\ncall: 510-684-8270 $10 
 at the door, sliding scale students & unemployed, no one turned away for 
 lack of funds. Co-sponsored by the BFUU Peace & Social Justice Committee, 
 Oakland Educational Association (OEA) Peace & Justice Caucus, and
