June 15th starting at 10 am at Rosewood Park, Austin.
———
Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday. Juneteenth 2024 will occur on Wednesday, June 19.
About the event:
Join us for the wonderful opportunity to hear Huwaida Arraf speak on the current situation in Palestine, what she's doing, and what we can do to help!
Huwaida Arraf is a Palestinian American activist and lawyer who co-founded the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a Palestinian-led organization using non-violent protests and international pressure to support Palestinians.
Since its creation, over 10,000 volunteers from dozens of countries have joined the ISM to monitor human rights abuses in occupied Palestine. In 2003 and 2004, the organization was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Arraf was the chair of the Free Gaza Movement, the organization behind the Gaza Freedom Flotillas, a series of groups of ships carrying pro-Palestinian activists that were organized to break Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.
About the event:
Join us for an insightful evening of cinematic exploration as we screen a collection of multi-generational short documentaries, an experimental film, and a Music Video by the filmmaker and vocalist, Dina Amin.

About the event:
This space is curated for visitors to learn the history of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, from the perspective of Palestinians – real humans with lives and stories.
The space is complemented with a street festival with art, music, live performances, and film viewings to provide a human connection to the Palestinian people and their culture.
It also includes an action station where people can actively participate in the cause in ways they will feel comfortable with. This could include making artwork, installing a BDS app, signing up for newsletters or call bank lists, or filming video testimonials to share what they learned and felt at the event.
Join us for a transformative event, a beautiful evening of homecooked food, healing workshops, storytelling, and more.
