Week of Rage: Resistance and Liberation Reading Group
5pm to 7pm @
Muncie Liberation Studio
Next to Chavas and China Express
1809 W University Avenue
This week marks 3 years since the launch of operation Al-Aqsa flood and the subsequent escalation of the genocide of Palestinians across Gaza and the West Bank. Since then the global solidarity movement has grown and continues to struggle for liberation. We, the students, continue to advance the cause on our campuses, remaining guided and grounded in the purpose of our efforts: for the martyrs, and for liberation. We remain uncompromising in our demands for the complete liberation of all Palestinian land and for the liberation of oppressed people everywhere, those subjected to the ravages of Western imperial violence, exploitation, and domination. That is why this week our programming will be centered on Gaza and resistance. We will ground ourselves in the ongoing struggle to help us remain committed to the fight for liberation.
