🇵🇸 WINNIPEG: STAND FOR JUSTICE
​This Saturday, we gather at the steps of the Manitoba Legislative Building to mark the Nakba—the "Catastrophe." For Palestinians, this is not just a date in a history book; it is a living reality.
​What is the Nakba?
​The Nakba refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948. It represents the loss of homeland, the fracturing of families, and the beginning of a decades-long struggle for the basic right to exist in peace.
​Why it Matters to Everyone
​The Nakba is a human rights issue. When we speak of the Nakba, we speak of:
​International Law: The fundamental right of refugees to return to their homes, as enshrined in UN Resolution 194.
​Universal Justice: If the rights of one group can be ignored under the eyes of the global community, the safety of all marginalized people is at risk.
​Generational Trauma: This is the "Ongoing Nakba." The trauma of 1948 has been passed down through generations, compounded by modern-day displacement and systemic hardship.
​"To be neutral in situations of injustice is to choose the side of the oppressor."
​We stand together to demand accountability, to honor the resilience of the Palestinian people, and to insist that international law be applied equally to all.
​📍 RALLY DETAILS

​TIME: 1:00 PM
