People cannot live if they are bombed and shot. People cannot survive if they are starved. People cannot eat if food is violently, actively, and systematically withheld. People cannot grow food if their land is destroyed. Their children cannot grow, and their children’s children will live with the effects of famine in their memories and bodies.

We cannot overstate the unjust privilege of accessing earth’s bounty in a time where more than a half million Palestinians face the highest possible level of food insecurity (IPC 5).

At tomorrow’s fundraiser at Bondhu, we will discuss and learn about the current situation in Gaza, how food is used as a weapon in genocide, and how Palestinian culinary innovation continues to survive and shine.

A HUGE thanks to for this beautiful bounty that we use to tell these critical stories and raise funds for Gaza via . Tickets still available and donations still being collected - swipe for more info on how you can contribute.
