No Time To Celebrate - Action photos

Dear friends,

For the past few months, I have participated in a nationally coordinated campaign of Jewish people commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe) and honoring 60+ years of Palestinian resistance. At http://notimetocelebrate.wordpress.com/ you can get a small taste of some of the actions that have been happening. If you are interested in planning your own action or event, there are resources on this site. You can also sign the petition if you haven't yet done so and you feel it's appropriate for you.

I have mostly been involved in events in Philadelphia. You can see a video, photos, and a report at http://notimetocelebrate.wordpress.com/local-actions/philadelphia/

For my friends in Palestine: These actions are only a beginning. We know that we need to do much much more and are committed to working with you for as long as you ask us to. Looking forward to seeing you all in Palestine very soon!

Salamaat,
Hannah
