1948: Creation and Catastrophe

Film Night: A Deeper Look and Discussion of the Nakba

This past Saturday, ISAK proudly hosted a powerful event in collaboration with the Palestinian Youth Movement Cleveland Network, the Akron Palestine Solidarity Collective, and ISAK LINKS. The evening featured a film screening that explored the history of the Nakba and examined the foundations and ongoing impact of the settler colonial state.

Attendees engaged in thoughtful discussion about resisting zionism and building actionable change through collective understanding and organizing. We thank everyone who joined us and contributed to the success of the event!

Tell Cuyahoga County Council - No More Money for Genocide!

Sign the Petition: bit.ly/cccbreakthebonds

Cuyahoga County is one of the largest investors in Israel Bonds in the United States, with a $16 million portfolio. This investment stands out as it is the only instance where local tax dollars are directly allocated to a foreign government. These funds could otherwise be utilized for significant local improvements, such as health, education, housing, food security, and environmental initiatives in Greater Cleveland. If you live in Cuyahoga County, sign this petition!
