DESCRIPTION:Narratives about the Palestinian struggle for liberation often focus on 
 armed resistance. What this overlooks, however, is Palestinians’ rich 
 legacy of nonviolent civil resistance, from mass demonstrations, strikes 
 and boycotts; to art, literature, journalism, and poetry–let alone daily 
 acts of unarmed resistance while surviving while under occupation, 
 bombardment and siege. \n\nOur panelists will discuss the long history and 
 efficacy of Palestinian unarmed civil resistance. We will also examine the 
 limitations of the oft-used dichotomy of “violence versus nonviolence,” 
 while interrogating questions such as: who determines the terms of what is 
 meant by nonviolence, and whose violence is too often considered 
 legitimate?  Through this discussion, we will broaden notions of struggle 
 for freedom and peace, while uplifting the sumud of the Palestinian 
 people.\n\nWatch the curated videos at your convenience before the event. 
 Then join us with your thoughts and questions for our speakers at the Q&A 
 Discussion with:\n\n- Sami Awad: co-director of Nonviolence International,

 activist, author, and college administrator (ret.)\n- Fadi Abushammala: 
 Affiliate Visiting Scholar at Georgetown U.; Executive Dir, General Union 
 of Cultural Centers in Palestine; and Outreach Associate for Gaza, Just 
 Vision\n\nOur moderator will be Jen Marlowe - author; filmmaker; founder,
