May 17, 2024
Good morning! It’s the week of May 15, the few days each year in which the world comes together to commemorate the Nakba (Arabic for “catastrophe”) that began in 1948. Find an action near you!
LEARN. Read this article from BDS Movement about their gathering in Brussels, scheduled for May 19.

The text reads, “Save the date; 19.05.2024, 1:30 pm, European march in Brussels for a Free Palestine; Stop the genocide, end the Nakba now, Europe act now; 76 years of ongoing Nakba”

Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the Congo, Haiti, and all places where systems of oppression are causing immense suffering and crushing the life out humans. We are led by women of the Global Majority/BIPOC. Shades of Anger is for everyone who wants to act for liberation and you can learn more about it here.
