SUMMARY:Razing Palestine Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we commemorate two years of gruelling\, heartbreaking and horrific genocide in Gaza. While our institutions would have rather we stood by and said nothing\, not everyone remained silent. This anthology was written by Canadian from across the country who experienced repression\, punishment and violence for standing up for Palestine.\nRAZING PALESTINE: PUNISHING SOLIDARITY AND DISSENT IN CANADA is edited by Leila Marshy (author\, The Philistine\, and My Thievery of the People) and includes testimonies from journalists\, healthcare workers\, academics\, artists and activists from across Canada.\nJoin contributors LIBBY DAVIES and SEAN TUCKER for an evening of readings and discussion.\nAs Gabor Maté writes in the Foreword: “This anthology is subversive in the most positive sense of the world. It seeks to provide an unequivocal and evidence-based response to the enforced silence around what millions of people the world over recognize as the most urgent moral issue of our time: the unspeakable suffering imposed on the people of Gaza.”

SUMMARY:You Will Not Kill Our Imagination: Saeed Teebi in Conversation at Writer's Fest
DESCRIPTION:Palestinian-Canadian author Saeed Teebi was at work on his first novel when the attacks on Gaza began in late 2023. The violence and cruelty of these ongoing attacks\, accompanied by the assent and silence of international governments\, have stunned many across the globe into a new state of permanent horror. What does it mean to be of the Palestinian diaspora in such a moment? In this vital conversation centred around his memoir\, You Will Not Kill Our Imagination\, Teebi explores the effects of the genocide on the bodies\, minds\, and imaginations of Palestinians\, and humanity as a whole. Omar El Akkad calls it “literature of the highest order… unwilling to flinch or submit to self-censorship.” This courageous work of resistance is as urgent as it is timeless. Moderated by Adel Iskandar.  \nSaeed Teebi’s appearance presented thanks to the generous support of Catherine Ross and David Ewart.

SUMMARY:Flood Vancouver for Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Join the Jewish Anti-Zionist contingent! Meet at 12:45 at the SW corner of the North Plaza. \n\n\n\nOctober 2025 marks two years of Israel’s catastrophic ongoing war on\, and genocide of\, Gaza. With this anniversary\, we remember the martyrs\, honour the survivors\, and reaffirm that the people of Gaza — and of all Palestine — cannot be erased. \n\n\n\nWith more than 60\,000 Palestinians killed according to Gaza’s Health Ministry — independent estimates being far higher — Palestinians in Gaza continue to face cataclysmic suffering\, forced starvation and displacement\, disease\, and relentless bombardment by Israel. Whole families have been murdered. Life expectancy has dropped by 35 years to 40.5. Yet the people of Gaza continue to teach the world what steadfastness\, courage\, and dignity are. \n\n\n\nAs we mark two years of genocide\, we uplift that the struggle for the liberation of Palestine is one of joint liberation\, inextricably intertwined with the struggles for Indigenous sovereignty\, climate\, migrant\, food and health justice\, and the struggle of workers; of people facing and fighting fascism\, oppression\, exploitation\, and racism in all of their forms\, worldwide. \n\n\n\nOn October 4\, we are joining the call from @alawdavancouver to flood “Vancouver” for Palestine. Join our Anti-Zionist Jewish contingent and march with us and raise your voice for Palestine! Anti-Zionist Jews & allies are welcome. Meet us at 12:45 at the Southwest corner of the North Plaza at Vancouver Art Gallery on Saturday October 4th! \nWe are uniting with over 30 other orgs to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza\, to demand an immediate end to the occupation of Palestine and to #SanctionIsraelNow. Will you be there? \n📆: Saturday\, Oct 4th🕙: 1PM📍: Vancouver Art Gallery \n\n\n\n🔗 If you’d like to endorse this action or organize in another city\, visit alawdavancouver.com/flood. \n\n\n\n✍️ Illustration by @joeymasonart
