Legal and Political Strategies to Support the Liberation of Palestine Presented by the United People of Color Caucus (TUPOCC) of the NLG. This groundbreaking event will take place on October 17, 2008, at the NLG National Convention in Detroit. Your generous sponsorship is absolutely instrumental to putting on this major panel event. The nature of support for Palestine, and the movement to condemn Zionism as a form of racism, has been at the center of many NLG discussions. This panel seeks to build on that work, particularly in light of the 60 year anniversary of the Nakba, and propose concrete legal strategies for dismantling the Zionist occupation and ending the genocide. In addition, many NLG members are looking for concrete ways to support Palestine solidarity work. This panel helps provide strategies, such as legal support for a comprehensive boycott of Israel, expelling Israel from the United Nations and other measures in the international arena, litigating against Israel and Israeli officials for genocide, use of Israel’s human rights violations to aid asylum seekers in the U.S., addressing movement building in the U.S., dealing with internalized Zionism and prioritizing the voices of Palestinians, litigation in Israel’s courts by Palestinian organizations. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
