Zionism Is Racism
In 1975, the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 3379, declaring “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.”
Join Philadelphia Parents for Palestine for a panel discussion with scholar-activists Noura Erakat, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and Emmaia Gelman to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of this key moment in the history of the Palestinian movement.
Together we will reflect, reconnect and reenergize as we explore how Zionism has depended on racism, from Palestine to the United States, and what we can do to oppose it.
