This talk from Marilyn Garson will be held from 5:30pm to 7pm on the 28th of April in room RHMZ206 of Rutherford House.

Marilyn is an experienced aid professional who has created jobs at the edge of war. She recently published Still Lives – a memoir of Gaza, telling the story of four years of work, two wars and the most unlikely social enterprise.

What happens when Covid enters a blockaded community? What can we do, and how can we speak when protest degenerates into name-calling? A Jew with skin on both sides of Palestine / Israel, she invites you to imagine Gaza in the unifying language of law, human rights and dignity.

She talks about the difficulty of protesting or engaging aspirationally when the language of the issue itself has become so hostile. How can people be heard?
