July Events with SUSTAIN!

Tuesday, July 17: Join SUSTAIN for a discussion of One Country by Ali Abunimah, founder of Electronic Intifada. We'll be discussing the introduction, which lays out Abunimah's vision of a just, peaceful one-state solution in Palestine/Israel. You can find the book at your local independent bookstore or library; if you need help getting a copy, email us. (At the Last Drop coffee shop, 13th and Pine, 7 pm.)

Tuesday, July 31: If you're good at crafts or design, help us repair SUSTAIN's wall panels! We have large panels covered with information and photographs about Palestine and U.S. aid. Join us to fix them up and do role plays about how to engage constructively with passersby when doing street theater and public education about Palestine. (At the Women's
International League for Peace and Freedom, 1213 Race Street.)


Friday, August 3: Come out to First Friday with SUSTAIN! We'll be holding up the mock wall in Old City and giving out information about the Apartheid Wall, U.S. support for the occupation, and the current situation in Palestine. (Meet us at the corner of 2nd and Market -- hope to see you there!)
