Christians are invited to join American Muslims for Palestine for their 3rd annual Palestinian flag raising, followed by a march to protest the ongoing Nakba and genocide in Gaza.
This event will commemorate the 76th year of the ongoing Nakba. In the context of the current genocide in Gaza, and the rising tensions in the West Bank, it is needed now more than ever. Palestinians have experienced 76 years of displacement, ethnic cleansing, and occupation. The Palestinian flag has been demonized and criminalized, and it is of utmost importance to keep waving it high to keep Palestinian identity and fight for liberation on the forefront.
Folks from Mennonite Action-Chicago, who organized the Good Friday Gaza Memorial Vigil in Federal Plaza, will be participating on May 11 as a group and invite us to join them.
At a recent Coffee Talk, we shared that it’s easier to get our affairs in order when we have the support of others.
From that conversation there arose a commitment to work on a list of contacts to call/email/text should something happen to you.
Use the next Coffee Talk – on May 8th – as a due date to get this homework assignment done. And then share the list with your pastor!

Saturday, May 18th – Premiere of the Community Peacemaker Team (CPT) documentary film “Light”
Walk the streets of Hebron’s Old City with members of CPT’s Palestine team. This film is a special window into Palestinian resistance and resilience, from CPTer’s clandestine filming through checkpoints and brave confrontation of soldiers, to the legacy of the martyrs Haj Sulaiman and Hashem al Azzah, to the lives of Nisreen and Tareq who continue the struggle.
Purchasing a ticket for $50 gets you a link to watch the film and an exclusive zoom link to join the online premiere event featuring the film’s director, CPTer Ahmad Abu Monshar and the rest of the CPT-Palestine team. Go to www.cpt.org for details.
(Kryss Chupp can organize a Wellington screening of the film sometime after the premiere, but you won’t get a chance to meet the Palestine team!)
