Rebecca Vilkomerson will be speaking at the Hudson Library at 3:30 p.m. on March 22.
The talk is titled “Community Responses to Israel’s U.S.-Supported War on Palestinians: Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Campaigns.” Rebecca was Executive Director of Jewish Voice for Peace for ten years. She will be joined for the talk by Riham Barghouti, Palestinian educator and founding member of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI).
Rebecca’s new book, “Solidarity is the Political Version of Love,” explores what the politics of solidarity look like in practice, and asks how left-wing organizations can grow―in numbers and power―while remaining accountable to the broader movements of which they are a part?
