Oct 27, 2024: Olive Harvest 2024 – Honor Palestinian Resilience

Tenney Park Shelter, 402 N Thornton Ave, Madison
1-4 pm

Please join us for an afternoon in honor of Palestinian resilience during the 2024 olive harvest. Enjoy live Palestinian music by Ensemble Shamaali, Palestinian olives, olive oil, hot tea, and light Palestinian snacks.

Sponsor an olive tree in the Madison-Masafer Yatta olive grove, or shop for Palestinian olive oil, olive oil soap, hand-crafted treasures, and Stand with Palestine yard signs.

Explore or purchase children’s books about Palestine with Read Palestine! Children’s activities will include a read-aloud, kite decorating, window sign making, and temporary tattoos. 

Andaleeb Cartonera will have a table where you can make a cartonera (cardboard covered book) about Palestine, or borrow or purchase one of these beautiful works of art.

Learn about Madison’s efforts to educate grocery stores about the Sabra Hummus boycott, and write a customer comment to ask Willy Street Co-op to remove Sabra from the shelves.

Hear from Madison groups working to end the Genocide in Gaza, and learn about the Madison-Masafer Yatta Olive Grove, a project to help farmers remain on their lands in the southern West Bank despite a spiking campaign of settler and military violence that includes the destruction of olive groves. 

The event will close with a public vigil on E. Johnson St. We’ll provide materials to make signs, or bring your own signs and banners calling for an end to Genocide and occupation.

This event is free and open to the public, donations accepted, and presented by Madison-Rafah Sister City ProjectJewish Voice for Peace-Madison, and Palestine Partners.
