Join the Masar Badil (Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path) in North America for a conference, strategy session and march for collective liberation and anti-colonial struggle, linking Indigenous, Black, Palestinian and workers’ liberation movements as well as global struggles. Topics include: Anti-Imperialism and the International People’s Tribunal on U.S. Imperialism, Palestinian Prisoners and the Resistance, Organizing for Return to Palestine, Building the Boycott Movement, Anti-Zionism: An Anti-Colonial Struggle, Palestine and Working-Class Struggle Across Borders, and the Free the Holy Land 5 Campaign. This gathering will focus specifically on building the liberation struggle in North America. Organizations and activists working to achieve this and in support of our key principles are invited to attend and participate.

This conference is taking place on the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation. We stand in full solidarity with Indigenous struggles for self-determination and sovereignty and against Canadian and U.S. settler colonialism.

The program will include:

  • Friday, April 28: Palestine Forum (10 am – 8 pm) – A gathering of activists, organizers and strugglers developing a strategic plan for our collective movement.

Full details and schedule TBA.

This congregation will build on the learnings and internationalist network of the Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, especially its week of actions in Brussels during October 2022 and its founding conference in Madrid, Sao Paulo and Beirut in October 2021.
