SUPPORT PALESTINIAN REFUGEES' RIGHTS - IN MONTREAL AND EVERYWHERE!
A Fundraiser to Support the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees
Featuring:
Dozens of Palestinian refugees in Montreal, Canada, currently face deportation - back to Lebanon or Occupied Palestine, despite severe risks to them and the utter deprivation of civil rights that awaits them. These stateless refugees are under attack in Montreal, as Palestinian refugee rights have come under attack internationally, most recently as President George Bush attempted to sign away Palestinian refugees' fundamental right to return home. The refugees of Montreal have organized themselves into the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees, raising money to support refugees' legal battle for dignity and justice.
Join us on World Refugee Day 2004 and help to support their campaign! Distinguished artists from New York, Montreal, Palestine and elsewhere have donated their work to support the refugees; a recent art auction held to support the Coalition raised thousands of dollars. Support the refugees and go home with amazing art in our art auction! Hear speakers from Montreal and contributing artists discuss Palestinian refugee rights! Celebrate Palestinian culture with exciting cultural entertainment!
ART AUCTION featuring such Palestinian, Arab and solidarity artists and Palestinian children's art.
SPEAKERS including Montreal-based representatives of the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees, artists such as Samia Halaby and local Arab community leaders.
CULTURAL ENTERTAINMENT including Arab music and dance by Ramzi El-Edlibi, Zafer Tawil, and George Ziade, internationally renowned performers! Also featuring singing by Ahmad Elatab and Uneti.
Palestinian refugees' rights - to dignity, to justice, to return - must be upheld - join us to support the refugees of Montreal!
