Over the last month and 20 days, our LA community has been deeply affected by the ongoing crisis in Palestine, and this event aims to provide a platform for listening and being heard. A diverse range of art including poetry, comedy, monologues, and music by Arab/MENA/Jewish artists will be showcased.
In addition, a reading of Caryl Churchill's incisive 10-minute play, "Seven Jewish Children: A Play For Gaza," will be performed in collaboration with If Not Now—an organization of American Jews organizing their community to end U.S. support for Israel's apartheid system and demand equality, justice, and a thriving future for all.
The evening will culminate in a panel discussion with representatives from activist organizations and educators, offering insights into our collective response and guiding the way forward.
All proceeds from this event will be directly donated to MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians), a UK-based organization. Let's unite to elevate voices, foster solidarity, and actively contribute to change.
Participants (as of 11/18): If Not Now LA Susan Abdel-Haq Joe Abousakher Everleigh Brenner Edgar Allan Hoe Ari Fromm Jackson Goldberg Gena B Jones Emily Leventhal Lynn Maleh Dennis Mashevsky Victoria Melkonyan Nelson Menell More to be announced soon...
