May 16, 2026 - Nakba 78

When: Saturday May 16th, 3pm
Where: Sankofa Sq, Yonge/Dundas

Since the Nakba 78 years ago, the US-backed Zionist project has continued to wage a war of extermination on the Palestinian people, culminating in the last two years of genocide in Gaza. Emboldened by the genocide they are still committing in Gaza, the US and Israeli war machine has expanded the scope of their imperial war to Lebanon, Iran and the entire region.

On Saturday May 16th, 3pm, at Sankofa Square (1 Dundas St E, Toronto) thousands of people will come together to demand an end to the ongoing Nakba and to affirm that we will struggle until full liberation and return.

When: May 15th, 6pm
Where: OISE Auditorium

This event invites audiences to bear witness, engage critically, and stand in solidarity. Our esteemed keynote speaker Mouin Rabbani will examine salient themes in Israeli policy towards the Palestinian people, from the origins of the Zionist movement until the Gaza Genocide, and examine how this helps explain current regional developments.
