From Nakba To Return webinar
12 Noon Central Time

Green Olive Collective and Zochrot present: From Nakba To Return, a webinar imagining how Palestinian return could look in practice.

As we mark the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, it is more important than ever to imagine the end of ongoing displacement and a reality beyond apartheid, partition, and occupation.

We will speak with Umar Al-Ghubari of Zochrot about how to focus on the past as a key to a future of collective freedom where the rights of Palestinian returnees are honored.
