Join us this Friday to honor the martyrs of Gaza who sacrificed their lives for liberation. As the ceasefire goes into effect, we gather to mourn, to acknowledge the immeasurable losses of the past 472 days, and to further commit ourselves to a future where no one, from Palestine to Yemen, Syria to Lebanon, is killed by Zionism. The struggle continues, beyond ceasefire, whether in our workplaces or universities, and in the streets of every city.
Glory to the martyrs. Free Palestine,” said Writers Against the War on Gaza before the event.
