Fourth International Al-Awda Convention
at San Francisco State University, California
July 14, 15, 16, 2006
Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, and the General Union of Palestine Students at San Francisco State University are proud to announce they will be hosting the Fourth International Al-Awda Convention in San Francisco on July 14-16, 2006. The convention will be a strategic planning conference focused on adapting to shifting realities and rising to meet the challenges of our era. In working for the return, we will highlight two main themes:
1) Political and material isolation of the Genocidal Zionist State of Israel,
2) Political and material support for Palestinian refugees.
Opening program and dinner will be held on Friday night with keynote speakers Dr. Salman Abu Sitta and Prof. Rabab Abdulhadi. The conference will be devoted to political assessments, breakout sessions on organizing of refugee support, divestment from Israel, and planning for the coming year as well as workshops on organizing in different sectors, and arriving at concrete resolutions recommended by the separate breakout sessions. We intend to make Return-to-Palestine central to all aspects of pro-Palestine organizing.
Confirmed Speakers: Dr. Salman Abu Sitta, Michel Shehadeh, Rabab Abdulhadi, and Asa'd Abu Khalil.
Our songs of resistance and dabkeh will be featured by Al-Juzoor band.
