Last weekend I gave a presentation for the " Eight Families in Gaza: Amplifying Their Voices " event, offered in affiliation with the Whatcom Coalition for Palestine. I remain grateful to the families who shared so generously shared their photos, their words, their writing, their videos, and their voices. Everything I presented during this event was developed in collaboration with members of the families who were featured, and it was shared with their permission and blessing. I have the deepest respect for these families. While I know my presentation was not enough to do them justice, and while I wished to center them, what I shared was also filtered through my own personal feelings and experiences. But I still hope that it brought these families closer to all of us, that the attendees came away from the program changed by what they saw and heard, and that local support for these families and for Palestinian justice will only grow stronger. Thank you to everyone who attende...
