Join the SURJ Immigration Justice Working Group for a screening and discussion of the documentary Severed which follows the journey of Mohamad Saleh, an 18-year-old from Gaza who has lived through five major assaults by the Israeli military. In a moment in which the imperial boomerang of militarized repression in Gaza loops sharply back towards our immediate neighbors in US cities, and the violent machinery of deportation is continually wielded to silence expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian people, Mohamad’s story helps us understand the fight for racial justice, for immigration justice, for disability justice, and for Palestinian liberation as a multivalent but unified struggle.

We will gather via Zoom and at Recirculation (876 Riverside Drive, New York, NY) on November 7th at 7pm to bear witness, build solidarity, and move resources.   Masks are required for in-person attendees.
