As we approach the anniversary of the Nakba, the colonization of Palestine and forced expulsion of Palestinians continues. Though this is apparent across Palestine, it is most clear in the heart of Jerusalem, Palestine’s capitol: in the village of Sheikh Jarrah, in Silwan, in Batan Al Hawa, where Palestinian families are being threatened with imminent expulsion from their homes by the Israeli regime, Zionist militias and its colonial settlers.

In addition to showing up to the streets to uplift the demands of our families back home, this year we want to also acknowledge the housing evictions and ongoing gentrification of San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, where we are holding our rally this year. The Mission has forever been a pillar for Palestinian migrants and especially among the immigrant and black and latinx communities. A place of robust and rich history, culture, and connections, it does not go unnoticed that black and brown communities and the poor are constantly pushed out of their homes to make way for big profit and expansion. We ask our siblings to join us in the streets as we defend our homeland in Palestine and join together in the streets of San Francisco.

As we mark 73 years of Nakba, we also celebrate 73 years of international resistance and struggle for liberation.

We are following Covid precautions with an emphasis on social distancing and masks. Sanitizer and extra masks will be available, so please come join us and help one another stay safe!
