24] – Ali Abunimah will focus on "The Battle for Justice in Palestine" on Wed., Apr. 9 from noon until 2:30 PM at the Palestine Center, 2425 Virginia Ave. NW. Efforts to achieve a “two-state solution” have finally collapsed; the struggle for justice in Palestine is at a crossroads. As Israel and its advocates lurch toward greater extremism, many ask where the struggle is headed. Author Ali Abunimah offers a clear analysis of this crossroads moment and looks forward with urgency down the path to a more hopeful future. Copies of the book will be available for sale.
Ali Abunimah is the author of “One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli Palestinian Impasse,” and co-founder and director of the widely acclaimed publication The Electronic Intifada. Based in the United States, he has written hundreds of articles and been an active part of the movement for justice in Palestine for 20 years. He is the recipient of a 2013 Lannan Cultural Freedom Fellowship. RSVP at 202.338.1290.

27] – What does speciesism mean? How are factory farms related? On Wed., Apr. 9 at 7:30 PM at G.W. Law School, 2000 H St. NW, join G.W. Law School for a film viewing of “Speciesism,” with a Q&A with director Mark Devries and HSUS's farm animal protection expert, Paul Shapiro. There will be a free reception of vegan food after the film! See a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJYzia6KUbs.
Most of the animals used for food in the United States are raised in giant, bizarre factories, hidden deep in remote areas of the countryside. The documentary takes viewers on a sometimes funny, sometimes frightening adventure, crawling through the bushes that hide these factories, flying in airplanes above their toxic “manure lagoons,” and coming face-to-face with their owners. There is no justification for considering humans more important than members of other species. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/490168411104998/.
