Join Students for Justice in Palestine and allies for a discussion on the very real ways Israel is involved in repression and oppression worldwide.

Description:
Israel has collaborated with many of the most repressive regimes and forces on all continents, arming Apartheid South Africa, colonial and neo-colonial regimes in the Middle East, dictators in Central and South America and police forces in the United States.
Speakers:

She started organising with ACT-UP in San Francisco when her father tested positive for HIV. She is also co-founder of the Harm Reduction Coalition - founded to build a movement to reduce drug-related harm and to confront and transform the racism and class oppression that is at the root of harmful drug use; and also a co-founder of Generation FIVE, an organization that works to end child sexual abuse in a liberatory rather than reactionary way.
