Friends of Combatants for Peace [office@afcfp.org] on Tues., Nov. 18 at 1 PM ET
are offering a conversation you won’t want to miss. Meet the youth shaping the
future of nonviolent resistance. CfP’s Freedom Schools were created to help
young Israelis and Palestinians see the forces shaping their daily lives and
then give them the skills, confidence, and community to challenge those systems
and build something better. Meet Tareq, Palestinian activist, and Abigail, an
Israeli activist, two Freedom School graduates whose leadership now spans
solidarity actions in threatened villages, youth workshops, community
rebuilding, and trauma-informed activism across the West Bank. Sign up at

36] – MAPA [info@masspeaceaction.org] on Tues., Nov. 18 at 7 PM ET is holding a webinar Media Bias and the Gaza Genocide with historian Assal Rad and journalist Sana Saeed. Since October 2023, the speakers have closely tracked media coverage of the war in Gaza, highlighting how much of it aligns with the Israeli narrative and distorts key facts — contributing to widespread misinformation and disinformation. They will present examples of headlines that obscure the facts, and you then will have some time to practice your media literacy skills!
Dr. Assal Rad is a historian of the modern Middle East. She works on research and writing related to U.S. foreign policy issues, the Middle East, contemporary Iran, and Israel/Palestine. Sana Saeed is an award-winning journalist and media critic known for her sharp analysis of how media shapes public perception.

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history has ended, but millions will continue to suffer.

And the nation’s largest anti-hunger program—the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance—continues to face threats. In this month’s Third Tuesday webinar, look at the impacts of the shutdown deal, and also explore ways that we can protect SNAP and other vital programs that keep our communities healthy and thriving.
