 nd all political prisoners\, sponsored by the Anti-War Committee.\n\nJoin 
 us for “Rock for Rasmea\,” an inspiring multimedia arts event raising 
 awareness about Palestinian-American community leader Rasmea Odeh’s case
  in connection to broader political repression. Aiming to engage youth and
  raise awareness about Rasmea Odeh and all US political prisoners\, the ev

 ts\, and more!\n\nRasmea Odeh is a Palestinian-American feminist\, activis
 t\, educator and community leader. She’s being criminalized for her move
 ment-building as part of an ongoing witch-hunt that targets Arabs\, partic
 ularly Palestinians\, and all oppressed people who actively oppose US mili
 tarism and racism. The US government has sought to squash movements for ju
 stice and liberation\, especially those fought by indigenous peoples and p
 eople of color. As a Palestinian woman who already spent 10 years behind b
 ars from a corrupt conviction based on a tortured confession\, we must dem
 and she not be caged again. Please join us to raise awareness and funds fo
 r her legal team as they appeal a November conviction that could see her i
 mprisoned for years in the US\, and deported.\n\nSliding scale donation $8
