Aug 20, 2026 - Re-reading Ghassan Kanafani Today

When: August 20th, 7pm
Where: Another Story Bookshop, 315 Roncesvalles Ave

Even before his assassination in 1972, Ghassan Kanafani was one of the Palestinian liberation movements most influential leaders and intellectuals. Though initially known outside Arabic reading publics as a novelist, recent translations of his works of political analysis, culture critique and revolutionary history have made Kanafani's interventions accessible to a much broader public.

Join us for this event with Hazem Jamjoum, one of Kanafani's translators, for a discussion on the life and work of this revolutionary intellectual, and what they might contribute to our struggles against fascism and empire today.

Aug 22, 2026 - Tribute to Palestinian Journalists

When: Saturday, August 22nd, 2pm-6pm

On Aug 10, 2025, the Israeli occupation forces assassinated Anas Al-Sharif and five other journalists: Mohamed Qreiqeh, Moamen Aliwa, Mohammed Nofal, Ibrahim Zaher, and Mohemd Al-Khalidi. This targeting of Anas and his colleagues follows a long history of attacks against Palestinian journalists aimed at silencing Palestinian voices.

During the Gaza genocide, which continues to this day, over 270 journalists have been martyred with many more all over Palestine, Lebanon and the region. Over 42 journalists are currently imprisoned facing the worst conditions. These attempts at killing the truth will not succeed, we will not let the voices of Gaza die.
