Dabke and Dialogue: An afternoon of Solidarity with Palestine
The Afternoon’s Program
You are invited to an afternoon of community, dialogue, fundraising and cultural celebration in solidarity with Palestine. Together, we’ll explore how social workers, educators, faith leaders, artists, and community members of all kinds can bring solidarity into their daily lives and collective work for justice.
The event will begin with speakers from El-Funoun Palestinian Popular Dance Troupe discussing their history and values.
Then we will form breakout discussion groups to provide space to connect around shared identities, professions, and passions, deepening both conversation and community.
The afternoon will culminate in a Dabke workshop led by members of renowned El-Funoun, where we’ll learn this traditional Palestinian dance and its powerful role in culture and resistance.
Small bites and drinks will be provided and there will be a silent auction throughout the event, and exciting products for purchase from Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, Wear the Peace, Handmade Palestine, and Haymarket Books.
Get your tickets now! Under 18 do not need a ticket; donations are welcome. All proceeds will directly support El-Funoun’s cultural preservation efforts.
