Join Apartheid Free Communities BC and ILPS Canada for a meaningful evening of film and discussion.
On November 15, we invite you to a special fundraiser and film screening of “The Wanted 18”. Following the screening, we will have a group discussion about the film and hear from eye witnesses who have witnessed the resistance in Beit Sahour.
In this award-winning documentary, directors Amer Shomali and Paul Cowan bring to life a remarkable story of non-violent resistance during the First Intifada.
Your attendance at this event isn’t just a seat at a film screening, it will support the BC delegation’s participation in The International People’s Tribunal on Palestine in Barcelona organized by the International Peoples’ Front, International League of Peoples’ Struggle, and People’s Coalition on Food Sovereignty. The International People’s Tribunal on Palestine is a quasi-judicial forum convened to investigate and address alleged war crimes committed by “Israel” and its backers, namely the US, UK, France, Germany and others. It serves as a platform for victims and advocates and their organizations to present evidence and legal arguments related to the crimes committed against the Palestinian people.

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.
RAZING 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.
Join contributors LIBBY DAVIES and SEAN TUCKER for an evening of readings and discussion.
As 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.”
