FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Al-Quds Day Virtual Event in Support of the Oppressed People of Palestine Calls for the End of Injustice, Wars, and Eviction of Palestinians from their homes.

May 7, 2021 – Al-Quds Day Committee of New York is holding an online event today to commemorate the annual International Day of Al-Quds in support of the oppressed Palestinian people.

The word, “Al-Quds” is Arabic for Jerusalem and its environs, the Holy Land. The International Day of Al-Quds is a day of solidarity with the oppressed and innocent civilian population in Palestine in their struggle against the racist and oppressive Zionist-Apartheid Regime in Israel. Al-Quds Day events, online and live protests, are held in cities across the world, including many cities in the US, Canada, and the UK. Muslim Congress currently coordinates an effort to organize peaceful Al-Quds Day events in over 30 cities in the US.

This year’s event will highlight oppression exacerbated in light of the COVID-19 pandemic which has compounded the dire economic conditions in the Occupied Palestinian territory, leading to high poverty and unemployment rates. The event will also focus on the dozens of Palestinians who are currently facing imminent dispossession from their homes in the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, in an effort to replace it entirely with a Jewish settlement.

Our goal is to send a peaceful message by strongly condemning war against Iran and any other country all over the world. Al-Quds Day is a peaceful effort to expose the Zionist agenda that is attributed to the rise of widespread Islamophobia and the rise of crimes committed due to this newfound awakened sense of supremacy.

The online event will take place at 5 pm EST time on May 7, 2021, and can be viewed on www.Youtube/FreeAlQudsNY. We request your online attendance and coverage of this event highlighting the ongoing plight of the Palestinian people.
