RootsAction is hosting a virtual “teach-in for action” on "Stopping the Cycle of Violence in the Middle East" on Wednesday, November 29, at 5:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM CT / 8:30 PM ET. Please share this information and sign up to attend! Register for the event. Context: In the face of Israel's U.S.-supported assault in Gaza, resulting in well over 10,000 deaths so far, including several thousand children, the threat of a wider regional conflict is undeniable. These attacks coincide with U.S.-Saudi “security” negotiations, potentially involving military support, with the hope of normalizing Saudi-Israel relations. What's most alarming is Saudi Arabia's request for uranium enrichment—a grave concern given its openness to seeking nuclear weapons if Iran pursues them. Purpose of the Panel: Our panel aims to shed light on the ongoing crisis in the Middle East and discuss practical ways to address it and prevent further violence. What to Expect: Please plan to hear our virtual panel, featuring experts on the Middle East and U.S. foreign policy including: - Huwaida Arraf, Co-Founder of the International Solidarity Movement
- Sunjeev Bery, Executive Director of Freedom Forward
- Dr. Aisha Jumaan, Founder and President of Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation
- Emma Claire Foley, Project Coordinator with Defuse Nuclear War
This teach-in will include a call-to-action requiring our collective attention and engagement. Your participation will enhance the depth and impact of the discussion as we work together for lasting peace. Sign up here. |
