75 years of Nakba, 75 years of Resistance: Global Calendar of Actions and Events for #Nakba75

As the Zionist attack on Gaza continues, as Palestinian prisoners continue to fight for freedom, as the Palestinian resistance continues to defend the land and people of Palestine through over 75 years of struggle for liberation, return and victory — join us to take the streets to demand justice for Palestine, express our outrage, and support the Palestinian resistance. On this commemoration of 75 years of ongoing Nakba, join us to say: From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free of Zionism, imperialism, occupation and colonialism! 

Please note, the list below is focused on outdoor protest activities. There are many important rallies, discussions and panels taking place to commemorate 75 years of Nakba. Among those is the tour of Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela taking place in the United States, coordinated by USPCN. For more details on those events, click here.

Another major initiative coinciding with Nakba75 commemorations is the Palestine Action siege of Elbit in Leicester. An ongoing camp has been set up with protests, events and actions, including caravans to join the siege Join in and get more info from Palestine Action!

The week of action in Switzerland, the upcoming Resistance Festival in Brussels, and various Palestine Liberation Weeks and Weeks of Palestinian Struggle all reflect important events to join in.

Note: These events are organized by many different groups around the world. Times and schedules may change. Wherever possible, we have provided a link to the original organizers; please check their posts for details!
