Thousands of #Palestinians have been dispossessed by occupation forces this year, and countless lives have been stolen from us. Join @sjpchi May 20th in Federal Plaza, as we honor the martyrs of this ongoing Nakba #FreePalestine #SaveSheikhJarrah bit.ly/sjpvigil

The violent dispossession of Palestinians across occupied #Palestine is not only reminiscent of the Nakba, it’s a reminder that the Nakba is ongoing. Join us May 16th at 1pm at Michigan & Ida B Wells, we must speak out! #GazaUnderAttack #Nakba73 bit.ly/3y3PWLL
It may feel difficult to celebrate Eid as we watch live videos of ethnic cleansing and violence against Palestine. It may feel difficult to celebrate as we watch our people suffer in Yemen, Syria, Iraq. But our people are strong, may our communities prevail. Liberation is coming

Palestinians use fragments of the bombs and weapons that’s been used against them today during the attack by the occupation forces to make a picture of The Dome of the Rock with the words “you won’t get past us”. #AlAqsaUnderAttack
#SaveSheikhJarrah
The Israeli government has delayed evictions in #SheikhJarrah due to outcry from the international community in the hopes that we will forget by next month. Now more than ever, we must take action! Go to bit.ly/cjprally #SaveSheikhJarrah
