with Richard Wolff*
The 2022 midterm elections will be a milestone in the fight for
democracy. But that fight is far from over. All progressives must now
build a winning strategy to establish and consolidate a permanent
progressive majority. (Note: that is subject to change as circumstances
change.)

*“What Family Do I Belong To”
with Steve Downs*
Steve will Reflect on how Muslims, impacted by the FBI’s unjustified
harassment and false charges after 9/11, came together as a family to
support each other and resist the onslaught of oppression. And he will
reflect also on the meaning of family as a way for individuals (isolated
and fearful), to become connected and empowered.

*/Join us for "The Holy Land Five", a two-part Al Jazeera film followed
by a Q&A and discussion with Nida Abu Baker, the daughter of Shukri Abu
Baker./*
*On February 22, at 7pm Eastern Time, Massachusetts Peace Action, The
Community Church of Boston, and Jewish Voice For Peace Boston, host an
Al Jazeera documentary film screening about the the Hold Land
Foundation, the largest Muslim charity that was persecuted by the US in
post 9/11 anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian hysteria. Following the film,
we will have a discussion and Q&A with Nida Abu Baker, the daughter of
Shukri Abu Baker, one of the Holy Land Five who is still in prison.
/About the /**film:*
Soon after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon in 2001, the largest Muslim charity in the United States - the
Holy Land Foundation - was shut down, its assets frozen and five of its
senior staff arrested by the FBI.
The charity was founded in California in 1989 and provided aid to a
number of Palestinian causes. It also offered help to refugee
communities in Jordan, Lebanon and other needy people across the Middle
East and the rest of the world. As the charity grew and revenue
increased, claims emerged against the foundation.
The 1990s saw groups like the Anti-Defamation League and politicians
such as the former Governor of New York City, Eliot Spitzer, and former
Congressman Anthony Wiener lobby against the charity. These groups
appealed to the Clinton administration to shut the charity down, but
failed. The US government eventually responded to similar accusations,
allegedly made by the state of Israel.
The Holy Land Five is a two-part documentary looking at the
controversial trial of the Holy Land Foundation leaders. The films use
interviews with defence and prosecution lawyers, family members, phone
calls with the men themselves in jail - and reconstruction of court
proceedings, to examine the case against the five men.
