Report Back From Global March to Gaza

Fhar Miess Speaks

July 16, 6pm 

Brattleboro, VT

Fhar Miess, a member of Southern VT for Palestine and VCPL, joined thousands of people from across the globe in Cairo to march to the border with Gaza. They had intended to break the Israeli siege and protest the genocide. But the Egyptian regime blocked the march, subjecting organizers and participants to surveillance, arrests, beatings, kidnappings, and deportation. They even prevented the activists from peacefully assembling in Cairo.

 

Fhar will report back on his experiences and share lessons learned for organizing in repressive conditions. The event will be hybrid, with the physical location in Brattleboro and the Zoom link to be shared out prior to the event.
