On Strike for Palestine: Ways to Get Involved

Still from Yom al-Ard (2019), dir. Monica Mauer, showing a crowd of children in Palestine raising their hands and cheering. Behind them are green hills.

In solidarity with and in support of the people of Palestine, BlackStar Projects is honoring the call for a Global General Strike on Friday 10/20/23. Visit the link for more information on how you can get involved today.

Below we’ve also compiled a few resources, and we encourage you to read a 2021 blog by our Festival Director, Nehad Khader, titled Narrative is Everything: Palestinian Films to Watch Now — which features links to Palestinian films screened at BlackStar and elsewhere which provide necessary and relevant context.
