Upcoming Event: March 2nd, 2024
We are excited to share that our comrades, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane, is hosting a showing of “Palestinian Exception” Sunday, March 2nd at 4:00 pm.
Presented by Meaningful Movies of Spokane and the Spokane chapter of Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East (UUJME), this documentary is an eye-opening look at the decline of free speech at our country’s colleges and universities.
After years of right-wing assaults on higher education, attacks took a new form in 2023 and 2024 that has been described as the new McCarthyism. Students across the country organized protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, shattering the decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel–the “Palestine exception”. This film features professors and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from administrators, the media, the police and politicians. Scholars from diverse disciplines explain what is at stake in these protests and why so many young people identify with the Palestinian cause. The documentary unfolds as a story of college campuses as sites of both rebellion and repression, places where personal and collective histories converge in unexpected ways. Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane 4340 W Whistalks Way March 2, 4:00-6:00 “Palestinian Exception” with discussion following RSVP appreciated, but not required to meaningfulmoviesspokane@gmail.com Free Donations enthusiastically accepted
