Last year's historic escape by 6 Palestinian freedom fighters from an occupation prison brought attention to this long-standing history of solidarity as Palestinian organizers drew connections to the Attica Prison Riot of 1971, which inspired a Palestinian uprising weeks later in the Ashkelon prison.
Speakers will include Dylan Saba from Palestine Legal and Hussein from the NY/NJ chapter of Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, as well as a few other U.S.-based abolitionist organizers. Byul Yoon, co-founder of Dissenters (https://wearedissenters.org/) and a 1L at NYU Law, will facilitate. We will discuss the connected histories and common struggles of folks organizing for liberation in Palestine and the United States.
