We will celebrate the life and activism of Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old ISM volunteer who was killed by Israeli Occupation Forces March 16, 2003 as she nonviolently resisted the demolition of a family home in the Gaza Strip in Palestine. Let us join together to stand in solidarity with Palestinians and all peoples struggling against ethnic cleansing and oppression and for social justice. The objective is to raise awareness of the common cause between global and domestic issues of social justice, with the issue of Palestine as a persistant example of what is being done to disenfranchised populations everywhere. This event is accessible for disabled persons in wheelchairs. There will also be ASL interpretation for the hearing impaired.
