Thank you to everyone who joined us for Jewish Currents Live yesterday. It was a powerful, incredible day, and we’ll have recordings and other communication soon! In the meantime, we wanted to let you know about two upcoming, co-sponsored events happening online:
Tuesday, September 17 at 11am ET:
Join a briefing tomorrow to learn more about escalating repression of dissent on Palestine, from anti-boycott legislation to the recent arrests of student protestors. Leading experts will examine how these actions impact American democracy and our right to collectively organize on a range of issues—from Palestinian rights to the environment, racial justice, reproductive rights and beyond—at such a critical juncture.
Thursday, September 26 at 5pm ET:
Join Rebecca Vilkomerson, Rabbi Alissa Wise, Omar Barghouti, Nyle Fort and Stefanie Fox as they discuss the new book Solidarity Is the Political Version of Love: Lessons from Jewish Anti-Zionist Organizing. The authors and guests will discuss what the politics of solidarity look like in practice, and how left-wing organizations can grow—in numbers and power—while remaining accountable to the broader movements of which they are a part.
We look forward to seeing you at Jewish Currents events throughout the fall! Save the date for Jewish Currents artist-in-residence Fargo Nissim Tbakhi’s “No Aesthetic Outside My Freedom”: Mourning, Militancy, and Performance at the Poetry Project on October 14th, and stay tuned for more announcements. If you haven’t joined already, consider becoming a sustaining member for full access to all of our online and in-person events, and other perks!
