SUMMARY:Annual Dinner 2025: Protecting Our Neighbors **SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 1st to celebrate a year of steadfast organizing and resistance! With authoritarianism on the rise\, the U.S. terrorizing civilians at home and across the globe\, and the continuation of the genocide in Gaza\, “protecting our neighbors” has never been more important. As we know\, the terror and militarization abroad inflicted by the U.S. will always come home\, and this year we honor those on the front lines fighting Trump’s agenda and protecting the most vulnerable – from Massachusetts to Gaza. \nThis year’s Peacebuilder Award recipients include the union responsible for the release of Rümeysa Öztürk – SEIU 509 and the founders of “Bearing Witness\,” Jared D. Berezin and Laurie Lynn Berezin\, who organize hundreds of Masssachusetts residents outside ICE headquarters in Burlington in ongoing weekly stand-outs. We also will also honor Susan McLucas and Paula Iasella for their longstanding work to free Julian Assange\, a man who worked to reveal the breath of U.S. war crimes. \nWe will present our 2025 Peace Leadership Award to Dr. Karameh Kuemmerle\, a Palestinan-American pediatric neurologist and co-founder of Doctors Against Genocide – an organization dedicated to mobilizing the medical community to respond to and prevent genocide and severe human rights abuses worldwide. She is affiliated with Harvard Medical School with research focusing on improving healthcare outcomes for refugee communities and addressing the impact of social determinents like racism. \nJoin us for and evening filled with great Caribbean food from Eunice’s Cuisine and a live performance of Palestinian and Arabic music by local band\, the Hawa Collective to celebrate another year of resistance!
