WORKSHOP: Cultivating Long-Term Solidarity with Farmers in Palestine

Join this action-oriented workshop to explore how members of the UK agroecology movement can cultivate long-term solidarity with farmers and food producers in Palestine who face ongoing violence, murder, aggression and confiscation of their lands at the hands of Israeli occupying forces; a degree of devastation which UN human rights experts have amounted to a genocide. The workshop will begin with pre-recorded messages from farmers bringing in the 2024 olive harvest, followed by an introduction to the LWA Palestine Solidarity Twinning Project (a collaboration with the Palestinian Union of Agricultural Workers’ Committees), and a facilitated discussion to explore what we can do on a personal, farm, and movement-wide level to offer meaningful solidarity and support to land-based communities in Palestine.
