Join us at 5:30pm on April 19th at the Mahone Bay Centre in welcoming activist and inspiration Rana Zaman to the South Shore. If you’ve been to an @ac_palestiniansociety rally in Halifax we’re sure you heard her open the events with her mighty call, “Welcome Humanity!”. We are honoured to host Rana and can’t wait to learn more about her experiences in doing advocacy work in Nova Scotia, and what we can all do locally to dispel harmful myths and counter the spread of disinformation as we support calls for a Free Palestine.

We are looking forward to launching a new collection of artists’ postcards for peace at this event, to be mailed out en masse to our MLAs, MPs, PM – whoever needs to hear from us (again!) about calling for a ceasefire. 

This will also be the another chance to sign the petition we’re sending to Premier Houston!

Together we will gather in grief and solidarity to reaffirm our demand for an immediate ceasefire and an end to all violence. We will honour and memorialize the 20,000 lives lost to this genocide by collectively, as a community, writing out the names of the victims.

We must continue reminding our local, provincial and federal representatives that 71% of polled Canadians called for a Ceasefire now!

Ceasefire Now! End the siege of Gaza! freedom for Palestine!

We organized this March on Sunday October 29th that was attended by 100 local residents. The success of this March taught us that our community needs us to continue to organize a call for a Ceasefire and give South Shore residents a collective voice to the opposition of war!
