to the , organised by聽Justice for Palestine Magan-djin over May 30 to June 1, are selling fast.
Jamal Nabulsi, from the organising committee, told 91自拍论坛:聽鈥淲e hope to help strengthen activism for Palestine on this continent by deepening connections between organisers from different regions and cities, learning from one another, and planning future actions鈥.
The conference aims to bring solidarity activists together from around the country together to discuss campaign experiences over the last 19 months against government complicity in Israel鈥檚 genocide against the people of Gaza.
The conference will feature speakers including Aunty Mary Graham, who is widely regarded as the leading Aboriginal philosopher, and Dr Lana Tatour, an internationally renowned expert on Palestine. Nabulsi believes that key highlights of the conference 鈥渨ill be the conversations that we have collectively, and the actions that we plan together鈥.
The conference has panels on why fight for Palestine, how to contribute to Palestinian liberation and actions we can take in the future.
In addition to plenary sessions with keynote speakers, there will be workshops to discuss solidarity, coalition building and the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign, among other topics.
Amy McQuire, Remah Naji, Nathalie Farrah, Amal Nasser, Jennine Khalik will be other featured speakers, among聽.
Given that this conference comes weeks after the re-elected Labor government is anyone who will listen that the its election result vindicates Labor鈥檚 allegedly 鈥渂alanced and moderate policy鈥 on Israel鈥檚 genocide. 鈥淎 clear lesson from the election is that Australians don鈥檛 want political leaders to amplify overseas conflict for their own purposes,鈥 Foreign Minister Penny Wong said.
Nabulsi rejected that, saying, 鈥淚n the face of the government鈥檚 active complicity in genocide, its peddling of Zionist propaganda, and its attempts to repress any action for Palestine, we declare unequivocally that we will continue to speak and act out for justice. As they escalate their support for genocide, we will escalate our resistance.鈥
The conference will be an important forum to assess and plan that resistance.
