On Zoom – register here. A significant and expanding section of American society—young, diverse, and working class—has become increasingly aware of US support for Israel’s occupation, and is rapidly drawing the connections between Palestine, mass incarceration, austerity, and the immigration crisis.

Zohran Mamdani, who won his race for state assembly in Queens, New York on Nov 3, ran an ardently anti-capitalist campaign, tying together the various forms of exploitation—healthcare, housing, and low wages— that people in New York (and the country) face on a daily basis, and especially now as we brace for the second COVID-19 wave. Before, and since, his victory, Zohran has unabashedly supported the Palestinian struggle against settler-colonialism. Join the Adalah Justice Project on Wednesday, Dec 16 to hear from Zohran about how he came to learn about Palestinian liberation and why supporting Palestinian freedom is a crucial part of building a strong workers movement here in the US.
