IJAN-TC on KFAI radio in Minneapolis

Three members of IJAN-TC were featured on KFAI Radio's Catalyst program, hosted by Lydia Howell, on Thursday August 12th at 9am.

IJAN-LA throws down for US Assembly of Jews

Members of IJAN-LA were also very active through the first half of 2010 planning and fundraising for the U.S. Assembly of Jews Confronting Racism and Israeli Apartheid, which took place in Detroit in June 2010. IJAN-LA members were active in the fundraising, programming and arts & culture working groups. Two fundraisers -- a liberation seder and a house party -- raised upwards of $3000 that supported the Assembly itself and allowed 7 members of IJAN-LA to attend the gathering. Many of us also participated in programming within the Justice in Palestine and BDS tracks at the U.S. Social Forum, which immediately followed the US Assembly of Jews in Detroit. We continue to meet monthly as we develop campaigns and strategies, sharpen our analysis, and support one another.

LA Liberation Seder

A large and diverse crowd of more than 80 Angelenos, ranging in age from 18 to 88 and many attending their first seder, gathered for IJAN-LA's second ever Liberation Seder on April 3, 2010. It was held at the Mt. Hollywood Congregational Church in the Los Feliz/East Hollywood section of LA. The seder, using IJAN's own Palestinian Liberation Haggadah, combined traditional Passover rituals, political commentary on Palestine and other liberation struggles, and music and poetry.
