FUNDRAISER! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
On Thursday 20 February we will gather at N**eToekomst to raise funds for the Land & Farming Cooperative in Burin (Palestine), who aim to open a children's library in the village. In the spirit of the cooperative's work, we will explore the topic of land, farming and resistance and have a delicious dinner with mocktails - offered by Vreemde Streken.
We will screen the newly released short film Burin Under Fire which explores the challenges that (olive) farmers in the West Bank face. This is followed up by a report back by international solidarity activists Rossa & Kali about their experience harvesting olives side by side Palestinian farmers in Burin. Finally, we will be joined online by farmer and activist Ghassan Najjar who leads the Land & Farming Cooperative as well as the project that Rossa & Kali volunteered at. He seamlessly weaves together the struggles for a free Palestine with feminism, agroecology and nature protection - they are one and the same in the end. No one is free until we are all free.
