Description

On Monday, April 14, join the Ottawa chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement for a panel discussion alongside Anakbayan, Assembly of 7 Generations, and the Ottawa Black Diaspora Coalition. We will explore how police, state violence and imprisonment are used as tools of oppression against our collective struggles for liberation.

As we approach International Prisoners Day, we are reminded of our revolutionary leaders who, despite being behind bars, continue to push our struggle forward. Police and prisons across borders work together to maintain power and push their oppressive agenda forward. Together, we can better understand our enemies, the tools used against us and how to fight back, despite the chains.

PYM Ottawa

We are a transnational, independent, grassroots movement of young Palestinians dedicated to the liberation of our homeland and people.

The Palestinian Youth Movement (“PYM”) is a transnational, independent, grassroots movement of young Palestinians in Palestine and in exile worldwide as a result of the ongoing Zionist colonization and occupation of our homeland. Our belonging to Palestine and our aspirations for justice and liberation motivate us to assume an active role as a young generation in our national struggle for the liberation of our homeland and people. Irrespective of our different political, cultural and social backgrounds, we strive to revive a tradition of pluralistic commitment toward our cause to ensure a better future, characterized by freedom and justice on a social and political level, for ourselves and subsequent generations.
