Resistance, Refugees, Rights and Return, the Vancouver Delegation to Gaza traveled to Gaza in June 2012. As part of our delegation, we met with health work, refugee rights, BDS, women's, students, labour and youth organizations with a goal of building links between progressive movements here and the Palestinian revolutionary left. Read delegates reports' at Vancouver2Gaza (being updated) and This Tiny Globe.

We will be holding a community reportback in Vancouver on July 22, and in the meantime, will be producing blogs, videos, and a written report documenting our experience.

The delegation will foster people-to-people solidarity between the participants, activists organizing for justice in Palestine and engaged in decolonization, international solidarity, and other relevant organizing to witness the impact of occupation and colonization, and the Palestinian liberation movement, making personal connections and building links with organizations on the left in Palestine. Delegates observed the ongoing resistance of the Palestinian people, assessed concrete solidarity needs on the ground, and the Palestinian people's commitment to liberate their land and achieve the rights they have been denied for over 64 years.

Come hear the delegates' experiences, and the voices of those with whom they met and built ties, and discuss how we can build upon and develop organizing strategies to challenge Canadian complicity in the dispossession, oppression and occupation of Palestinian people and land.

For more information on the delegation, its participants, or to invite a member to report back, please see: http://vancouver2gaza.org/ + vancouv...@gmail.com

In solidarity,
