Genocide Resistance Grows. As
Palestinians enter the third year of intensified violence, systemic oppression,
and siege, this gathering seeks to shed light on how Palestinians and their
allies persist in resisting with courage, resilience, and creativity. This is
an opportunity to listen deeply, learn from our courageous speakers and
recommit ourselves to the global effort to end the genocide in Gaza. The is an
impressive list of speakers, and they bring diverse experiences as writers,
organizers, peacebuilders, human rights defenders, and faith-based
advocates–uniting voices from Palestinian, Israeli, and global solidarity
communities to challenge genocide, preserve culture and build pathways toward
justice and dignity. RSVP at https://www.nonviolenceinternational.net/year_03_genocide_resistance?utm_campaign=webinar_genocide_resistance_gr&utm_medium=email&utm_source=nonviolenceinternational

At 5:30 AM on February 2, 2024,

Systems in south Louisville, successfully shutting down daily operations for
the day. LMPD arrested the protestors and they spent half a day in jail. Ten of
the protestors plead guilty and accepted a deal while five remained and decided
to take the case to trial. This webinar welcomes three members of the Raytheon
5 to discuss their journey from arrest to spectacle of their gag-ordered trial,
where all five were found guilty of trespassing on key infrastructure assets.
Hear from Scott Rosario Mottola, a writer, organizer, and service industry
worker, Wilde-de Vries, a lifelong queer anti-racist and social justice
organizer and Ash Eisenmenger, an artist who's been involved in the movement
for collective liberation in various capacities.
