On May 14 and 15, we invite you to join us for events marking 72 years since the Palestinian Nakba, or catastrophe – the ethnic cleansing and forcible displacement of a majority of the indigenous Palestinian population by Zionist militias to make room for an exclusionary, settler-colonial state.<\/p>\n

The Nakba continues today for Palestinians living under Israel\u2019s regime of occupation and apartheid, with the support of complicit states, corporations and institutions.<\/p>\n

Most Palestinians exiled from their homeland still carry the keys to their beloved homes. The Palestinian refugee key has become a reminder of the Palestinian tragedy, and a symbol of the determination to ensure that our refugees can one day return.<\/p>\n

Nakba scenes of forced displacement remind us of the experience of many millions of migrants, refugees and homeless people around the world who have no place to call home due to the devastating impacts of militarism, racism, neoliberal capitalism and the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

Today, COVID-19 adds to the grave threats that Palestinians and other vulnerable populations worldwide already face.<\/p>\n

Our May 14 and 15 events will commemorate the Nakba, oppose displacement and homelessness, and mobilize for return as the #KeyToJustice. Join us!<\/p>\n

#KeyToJustice Webinar<\/a> <\/span>– May 14, 4 PM Palestine time: Rafeef Ziadah, Marta Ill and Rey Perez Asis will discuss the connections between the Palestinian struggle to end the ongoing Nakba and the struggles of millions of refugees, migrants and those struggling for adequate housing worldwide, particularly during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

#KeyToJustice Global Action<\/a><\/span> – May 15: Share a photo of yourself on social media holding a key, and tag your post with #KeyToJustice. Learn how to make a key at home with this do-it-yourself video<\/a><\/span>. The key symbolizes not just Palestinian refugees\u2019 return, but the connectedness of our struggles for equality, dignity and freedom, for all those without homes, facing brutality and resisting erasure.<\/p>\n

Online Nakba Day Rally<\/a><\/span> – May 15, 9 PM Palestine time: With speakers and performers including DAM, Janna Jihad, Diana Buttu, Roger Waters and Ken Loach. Organized by Palestine Solidarity Campaign (UK), Jewish Voice for Peace (US), South African BDS Coalition, and the BDS Movement.<\/p>\n

Our collective mobilisations will help turn the #KeyToJustice.<\/p>\n

In solidarity,<\/p>\n
