International Reading for Freedom of Expression & Solidarity with Palestine
November 25, 2023, 8:00 am
at International Press Coalition
On November 25th, we gather writers from around the world for a 24 hour reading in support of Palestinian writers, Palestinian voices in diaspora, and their allies. We gather in the spirit of fundamental respect for life and liberation. As individual poets, artists & writers, and representatives of independent arts organizations, we call for an end to all ongoing genocidal aggression globally. We condemn the collective punishment of Palestinians and call for a global commitment to protect freedom of expression and critical dissent.
