Land Day commemorates the Palestinian people’s steadfast resistance against their ongoing forced displacement and the confiscation of their lands by Israel. Since 1976, the day has recognized the sacrifice of those who have bravely stood up against the Israeli occupation with strikes, protests, and demonstrations. Each year’s commemoration amplifies the call for justice, liberation, and the right to return for the Palestinian people.

This year, Land Day brings even more fervor and commitment to the Palestinian cause as over a million more Palestinians in Gaza have been further displaced to Rafah and many more are facing catastrophic famine and imposed starvation. On Land Day, we also make the direct connection between the struggle for land sovereignty and the struggle for climate justice. Join us in taking to the streets once more and shutting it down for Palestine - until there is a lasting ceasefire, an end to the siege on Gaza and a free Palestine from the River to the Sea!

Bring signs, banners, walking shoes and noises makers.

Please RSVP (especially if you plan to march with Maine DSA) so that we know how many comrades to expect.
