👋🏽 AHLAN / HELLO
This week’s event list is a little lighter, which gives us a moment to pause and reflect. As the brutal attacks and starvation in Gaza continue, I encourage you to lend your voice. Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) has organized a petition urging Prime Minister Carney to take action.
Let’s stay rooted in community, and keep showing up for justice — together.
