The Local Nakba Committee and the Palestine Right to Return Coalition Present:
JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL DAY OF RESISTANCE MUSIC, YOUTH & CULTURAL PROGRAMS, NAKBA TENTS & ART, LOCAL SOLIDARITY GROUPS, ARTISTS AND MORE!
JOIN US FOR THE OFFICIAL AFTER PARTY AT MEDJOOL from 7-10pm, $5 cover.
Who: The Local Nakba Committee (LNC) is made up of Palestinians and human rights advocates from the San Francisco/Bay Area. Our purpose for coming together is to raise awareness, unite, and mark 60 years since the ongoing Palestinian Nakba and struggle for self-determination.
What: We are currently planning a very special day-long FREE Palestine, Peace and Solidarity Festival - with an amazing program of Palestinian, and other musicians for peace and justice.
Where: The FREE outdoor festival will be and held at the Civic Center in downtown San Francisco - May 10th, 2008, which marks 60 years since the ongoing Nakba, of the Palestinian people.
The purpose: of the Solidarity Festival is to raise the voices of Palestinian and other artists who resist the domination of their communities, through music. Palestinians are the largest and longest displaced refugee communities in the world and IDP’s (internally displaced persons) as a result of Israel’s occupation, Apartheid wall and illegal settlements - with no hope for a just solution in the foreseeable future.
Our vision: is to use resistance music to issue a rallying call to activists, youth and other allies, to stand in solidarity, build a mass popular movement-and support the Palestinian struggle for self-determination and the right of return.
In order to reach out beyond our existing allies, the event will serve as an opportunity to outreach broadly, and educate young people and other communities who are unaware, and interested in understanding the historical context through artistic expression.
The Local Nakba Committee requests your demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian people. To make this historic gathering possible, will require tremendous amount of labor and financial resources.
The concert will only happen with the support and generosity of donors such as yourself.
Please make your tax-deductible donation, payable to ‘the Palestine Right of Return Coalition’, or ‘PRRC/Palestine Solidarity Concert’.

Thank you for your support!
