US College Campus Responds to the Zionist Hate Speech Campaign with a Palestine Awareness Festival

October 15, 2007

This organization, unfamiliar to the digest, is doing what needs doing everywhere: making unequivocal support for Palestine a big bold public issue, right up in the face of the Zionist fascism, particularly the Zionist hate speech campaign dubbed, 'Islamo-fascism awareness week' in US college campuses.
If other US college campuses do the same, then the Zionist hate speech campaign will fail in its attempt to defame Muslim Americans and the Islamic faith in general.

A group, UPandOUT, is having an all-day Palestine Awareness Festival on Sunday, October 21st, at Sennott Park in Cambridge, MA (3 blocks from Central Sq).
Attached is a pdf file of our flyer. A schematic of the event is available at: http://rule19.org/upandout/schematic-paf.htm
(there's also a brief description of the event at the bottom of this email)

We invite you to send literature you may have and would like us to put out. [UPandOUT has been having free film screenings of documentaries on Palestine, which we've been showing for almost 2 years now; see http://rule19.org/videos/index.htm. This festival is our first attempt at taking the "message" outdoors, into a public space. We plan on holding this event every year for the foreseeable future.]

All the best,
PF Soto, UPandOUT
and thanks for all you do!

ABOUT THE EVENT
We are holding the event to celebrate Palestine and to showcase Palestinian arts and culture and - by means of exhibits - to illustrate what living conditions are like for the Palestinians. As far as we know, a realistic expose of Palestinian life has never before been offered publicly to our community.

The festival will consist of literature and product tables, activity tables, art displays (e.g., a Naji al-Ali cartoon exhibit), a diorama of a damaged Palestinian home, and entertainment (dabke dancers and poets). We are also having free raffle drawings, every hour on the hour (dinner for two, T-shirt, book, etc).
