Join us for our chapter-wide meeting.
This fall, in the face of mounting crises, our grassroots movements united and mounted to oust Trump, flip the senate and grow the Squad, while expanding our visions for true liberation for all. Now, we at once exhale into the massive victories and face the sobering crises before us, especially as COVID rages from NYC to Palestine, where Israel is bringing about “medical apartheid.” Meanwhile, in the US, the fight maintaining that antizionism is not antisemitism intensifies, with flashpoints from the federal government to Facebook. With shifting conditions and the threats and opportunities before us, where can JVP-NYC play our most impactful and appropriate role?
Join this virtual gathering for the full JVP-NYC community to connect with one another, assess and analyze our shifting conditions, and join organizing efforts for the next few months with vision and energy.
If at all possible, we recommend doing these three readings in advance of the meeting:
On the fight maintaining that antizionism is not antisemitism, (1) this JVP Action backgrounder on the fight against the IHRA definition of antisemitism, (2) this letter from 122 Palestinian & Arab academics and journalists about the definition, and (3) the IHRA definition itself
On Covid in Palestine and medical apartheid, (3) this article in Haaretz, also attached as a PDF
