EVENT CANCELLATION: INDEPENDENT UNION ORGANIZING IN PALESTINE feat. Mohammed Aruri

[Richmond Industrial Workers of the World R-IWW]

Due to the unfortunate news that Aruri Mohammed was not able to secure a visa required to enter the U.S., the event which was set for Tuesday May 10, 2011 must be cancelled.  We apologize for any inconvenience, but hope to host him in Richmond, VA at a later date.

Riding on the heels of a recent IWW Union delegation to the West Bank, this special event features a rare North American visit from one of the most important figures in the Palestinian independent labor movement. Mohammed Aruri, leader of the Ramallah-based Independent Federation of Unions in Palestine, will discuss what it means to organize workers while living under the shadow of Israeli occupation. In addition to describing strikes, labor struggles, and the crisis of poverty and massive unemployment facing Palestinian workers, Aruri will also share exciting new developments in the international movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) of Israel and the new alliance developing between his organization and the North America-based Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).
