Convergence Assembly on Palestine and the Palestinian people
Location: Desmarais Bldg. - DMS 1160

A convergence assembly to reinvent, reinforce and unify our solidarity from coast to coast with the Palestinian people; also to critique Canadian policies and promote alternate policies and take positions on solidarity actions.
The assembly will allow us to carry forward the momentum by building solidarity with other social movements, including that of Indigenous People of Canada, and with local movements for justice. In addition the assembly would be a way to concretely create and discuss strategies, such as BDS, to extend Palestinian solidarity by sectoral organizing with unions, climate justice, and other local movements.
