During the Week of Palestinian Struggle, 15-22 May 2020, many different organizations held events, actions and webinars to highlight the Palestinian struggle, 72 years of Nakba and 72 years of resistance. Below, we are presenting an archive of webinars and online events presented during the week.
Please note, the vast majority of these webinars and events were organized independently by a wide range of groups. The groups that organized each event are noted, and these videos are hosted at the organizers’ YouTube, Facebook and other pages. We encourage you to visit these organizations’ pages for more information about their activities!
