On March 19, at 7:30 EST, Krishna Madan, a Guyana-born member of the US Army (’72 – ’75) and retired history teacher will present on the history of Palestine from the pre-Nakba (1948) to the present. He is extremely active in south Florida pro-Palestinian support, and presented on this topic recently in Miami.
We’ve dedicated 2 consecutive Zoom meetings to Palestine. On Tuesday, April 16th the topic will also be Palestine, but with an organizing focus rather than a historical one. We expect this zoom to be led by a Palestinian woman with whom we’ve been working.
We’ve expanded from the SE region of the country to invite, and encourage, all VFP members and allies nationally. Our February zoom was attended by 70 people. Cindy Piester VFP’s Climate Crisis and Militarism group recently presented on the UN Climate Conference (COP28) held from 30 November to 13 December in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Questions, comments, or suggestions can be directed to myself Patrick McCann or Jim Wohlgemuth.
