DESCRIPTION:Join Critical Resistance and abolitionists for a critical discussion on the 
 ongoing war on 
 Palestine.\n—————————————————————\n\nPrison 
 industrial complex (PIC) abolitionists have always understood the work to 
 dismantle the PIC to be connected to global movements against war, 
 militarism, and colonialism. In the past few weeks, we’ve seen mass 
 mobilization in solidarity with the Palestinian people as they face one of 
 the deadliest assaults by the Israeli military in its history.\n\nOn 
 Wednesday, Nov 1, join us for a critical discussion on the ongoing war on 
 Palestine. Dr. Angela Y Davis, Lara Kiswani (Executive Director of the Arab 
 Resource and Organizing Center), Stefanie Fox (Executive Director of Jewish 
 Voice for Peace), and Nadine Naber (INCITE! National) will join us in a 
 discussion moderated by Mohamed Shehk (Campaigns Director of Critical 
 Resistance) to help us understand the situation on the ground in Palestine, 
 how our organizations and people everywhere can mount effective resistance 
 to the genocidal war against Palestinians, and how we can use abolitionist 
 strategies such as Dismantle-Change-Build, Divest/Invest & “Defund,” 
 and “shrink and starve” to do so.\n\nOrganized by Critical Resistance. 
 This event is also a fundraiser for Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA), 
 who are providing much needed aid to the people of Gaza. All funds will go 
 to MECA after accessibility costs for this 
 event.\n---------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSpeakers:\n\nAngela

 Director of Arab Resource & Organizing Center (AROC), serving poor and 
 working class Arabs and Muslims across the San Francisco Bay Area, and

 militarism.\n\nStefanie Fox is the Executive Director of Jewish Voice for
