This event series aims to lift up grassroots voices of people working on diverse initiatives and projects to express solidarity with the Palestinian people, voices who have both refused silence and who have found pathways for action in the community. Info on participating groups and speakers Rickie Leach helped make the community zine ‘No Silence’ with Stefan Christoff and Rapaël Foisy-Couture and she also helps the group Papineau pour Palestine.
