ACTION ALERT
Update: Al-Awda's Third Annual
International Convention
For Immediate Release
31 January 2005
EMPOWERING THE PALESTINE RIGHT
TO RETURN MOVEMENT
Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return
Coalition will be holding its third annual international
convention, entitled "Empowering the Palestine Right
to Return Movement", April 15-17, 2005 at the University
of California in Los Angeles. Hundreds of Palestine rights
activists are expected to attend. Al-Awda's chapters at
UCLA and Los Angeles, along with other community activists
and twenty five local organizations, are members of the
convention's host committee and have been working hard to
prepare for this important and timely event. To view a listing

the convention's host committee click

A major objective of the convention will
be to build on the progress of the previous two annual Al-Awda
conventions, and continue with the development of grassroots
campaigns for Palestinian rights, in particular the rights
of refugees to return to their original towns and villages.
The success of our convention is extremely important given
the new critical
challenges facing the Palestinian cause today from those
who seem emboldened to continue to deny the refugees their
inalienable rights to return to their homes of origin and
to restitution of all their confiscated and destroyed properties.
Invitation
We invite Al-Awda members, and all groups
and individuals who support the rights of Palestinian refugees
to return to their original towns and villages to join us
in our third annual international convention. The convention
will be a superlative forum for activists to listen to expert
presentations and to share their own thoughts on how they
would like to see our collective efforts and campaigns for
the rights of Palestinian refugees develop.
We highly encourage out of town guests
to plan their travel and accommodation arrangements early.
We are expecting hundreds of activists to attend from across
North America and beyond in addition to many members of
our community in Southern California.
