Many times when we think of strength we forget about the women behind liberation movements. Palestinian women have been the foundation of the resistance and the voice of the voiceless; they have played a key role in the mobilization of all people towards Palestinian freedom.

Poetry: A Nonviolent Weapon
Poetry and other forms of story telling are the nonviolent weapons of the oppressed. It is a way of expressing solidarity, pain, joy and cultural identity in order to keep a nation alive.

Demonstration for Gaza, Spring 2014
#FreePalestine #GazaUnderAttack
The massacre continues…
July 20 the Israeli forces bombarded the small village of Al-Shujaaya murdering 80 civilians in one day.
Unfortunately the media is not giving Gaza the fair share of media coverage which needs to change. Come out Friday afternoon to stand with Gaza an expression of solidarity from the Kitchener Waterloo community with the Palestinians.
Chants, Speakers and demonstrations from the members of the community. Let’s raise awareness of the issue, let’s show the community what the media is not!
Interested in volunteering email sfprexecs@gmail.com
Be the change!
