DESCRIPTION:The Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA) & the Arab Resource & Organizing 
 Center (AROC) present:\n\nAn Evening with Palestinian Poet Remi 
 Kanazi\n\nCelebrating his new book: "Before the Next Bomb Drops: Rising Up 
 From Brooklyn to Palestine"\n\nFeaturing Special Guest: Spoken Word Artist 
 Sojari Bradley\nMC: Sharif Zakout\n\nRemi Kanazi's poetry presents an 
 unflinching look at the lives of Palestinians under occupation and as 
 refugees scattered across the globe. He captures the Palestinian people's 
 refusal to be erased, gives voice to the ongoing struggle for liberation, 
 and explores the meaning of international solidarity. His new book also 
 examines racism in America, police brutality, US militarism at home & wars 
 abroad, and Islamophobia.\n\n"Kanazi's haunting poems are not written to be 
 consumed. They reserve a place in one's conscience, in one's memory, 
 and-hopefully-in one's praxis."\n-Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the 
 Boycott/Divestment/Sanctions movement\n\n"Each verse made me sink deeper 
 into my chair and helped unleash a cascade of relieving tears: in anger, in 
 mourning, and in hope."\n-Noura Erakat, George Mason University\n\nBenefit 
 for MECA and AROC\n\n$15 general, $10 low-income.\n
