Electronic Intifada editor and author Nora Barrows-Friedman leads a public forum on “U.S. Students and the Palestinian Solidarity Movement,” with particular emphasis on Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) and attempts to stifle or silence Students for Justice in Palestine. This is an open forum, all are welcome.

According to Samantha Brotman writing in Mondoweiss, “Nora Barrows-Friedman’s In Our Power: U.S. Students Organize for Justice in Palestine, published by Just World Books, is a timely and powerful read, detailing the scope and substance of the Palestine solidarity movement in the United States. Barrows-Friedman situates the movement across both time and space, providing historical and contemporary context to the individual activists whose voices make up the book’s primary content. As a result, In Our Power is at once practical and inspiring for anyone involved in Palestine solidarity or interested in becoming involved.”
