  Free Palestine Movement Grand Fundraiser Dinner
The Chandni Restaurant
5748 Mowry School Rd
Newark

Two years ago, a small California nonprofit changed the world by sailing two small boats into Gaza , and inspiring thousands around the globe to stand up to the Israeli blockade of Gaza .

One of its co-founders has addressed the European Parliament, and today the Free Palestine Movement (FPM) has recently been invited for accreditation by the United Nations. Even more ambitious and far-reaching projects are ahead, which the FPM will unveil at its grand fundraiser and educational session.

Come hear from, and have dinner with, five members of the Free Palestine Movement, together for the first time since their return.


Listen to eye-witness accounts from 5 FPM Americans who survived the attack on the Freedom Flotilla:
    Ambassador Edward Peck: Turning the Freedom Flotilla attack into diplomatic victory

    Veteran Joe Meadors: USS Liberty injured
    survivor, re-opening the Liberty investigation

    Gene St. Onge: Bringing decades of structural engineering to rebuilding of Gaza

    Janet Kobren: Co-Founder and long time Jewish American activist

    Dr. Paul Larudee: Co-founder, U.S. advisor to Saudi Arabia and co-organizer of the first voyage to Gaza.


$40 early bird, $50 at the door.


Sponsored by: American Friend’s Service Committee
