Hello community,

Please join us tomorrow (Sunday, 3/2) at the Savoy Theater for the final film in a winter film series sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace (rescheduled due to the big snow storm on February 16th). If you've been wanting to learn more and gain a wider perspective and deeper understanding, this is a great opportunity to do so. For those of you who have been following the sometimes painful and confusing FPF debate in regards to Article 13 on Tuesday's ballot, this film and discussion could offer some real insight. This is a MASKED events to support the safety and inclusion of all, and they tend to sell out, so feel free to purchase your ticket now on the link below!

a little about JVP: "We envision a world where all people — from the U.S. to Palestine — live in freedom, and with justice, equality, and dignity. Like generations of Jewish leftists before us, we fight for the liberation of all people. We believe that through organizing, we can and will dismantle the institutions and structures that sustain injustice and grow something new, joyful, beautiful and life-sustaining in their place...Jewish Voice for Peace is the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world, drawing our strength from over half a million supporters, along with decades of organizing for freedom and dignity in Israel/Palestine and the U.S.. We're a multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of Jews and allies - in solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle - fighting white nationalism, racism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia, and we are guided by a vision of justice, equality, and dignity for all."
