Intifada Week (9/22-9/29): Scheduled Events at UC Berkeley

Please Forward.

A Call For A National Student Action Week in Support of the Palestinians

From: Union of Arab Student Associations, Students for Justice in Palestine (Berkeley), and Al-awda Students:

Intifada Week (9/22-9/29)


We call upon students nation wide to plan a calendar of events for the week (or so) leading up to the one year anniversary of the Intifada, October 1st, 2001.

We would like to have something going on daily somewhere and sponsored by multiple groups. We encourage having a few all-day exhibits,
daily videos, editorials, and panels. The goals are education, visibility, recruitment, momentum, and recognition for the continuing struggle.

We envision a very well-publicized and well-attended string of events, where each one is used to announce following ones. INFO tables should
be constantly present, as will media.


So far many groups such as the Network of Arab-American Alumni and Professionals and the ADC have committed to help out for this week. They can provide videos, posters, written information and press releases. In addition, many individuals have committed to writing and circulating
articles.

This is the prelimenary CALENDAR of University of Califonia, Berekly:
