Palestinian Solidarity Night Fundraiser This Saturday; Join Us
You’ve rallied. You’ve marched. You’ve doomscrolled, day after day, reading the horrifying headlines coming out of Gaza. You might have even read the latest issue of The Indypendent with its 8-page special section on the Palestine-Israel conflict.
Now, it’s time to come together for a night of discussion and incredible performances.
On Saturday, The Indypendent and Starr Bar will host a special night of solidarity with Palestine you don’t want to miss.
5 pm: Doors Open
Mix and mingle with fellow activists who are fighting against war and occupation and for Palestinian liberation.

8:00: Panel Discussion
We’ll be joined by Mahmood Mamdani, Elik Elhanan, Riham Barghouti and Eva Borgwardt who will share their brilliant analysis. The panel will be moderated by Indypendent Associate Editor Amba Guerguerian.
