This weekly community teach-in series aims to bring scholars and organizers from within and outside CUNY together to deepen our understanding of the struggle for Palestinian liberation, past and present.

This fourth teach-in, titled ‘Contexts and Histories of Palestinian Resistance’ will feature a panel of speakers who work on various aspects of Palestinian resistance. They will each share something from their work that helps to contextualize and understand the current moment, followed by open discussion.

*Some food will be provided* though feel free to bring something potluck-style to add for dessert if you want to.

Free Palestine!
