Many of Gaza’s talents have been murdered in the brutal Israeli assault, and one of the most recent —Refaat Alareer — was deeply loved.

Refaat was a renowned Palestinian writer, poet, professor and activist from the Gaza Strip. He was deeply involved in the formation and development of We Are Not Numbers.

An event to honor him is being held in Washington, DC, where one of the WANN cofounders and many WANN mentors live. Come hear his poetry, his insights, his wishes for the world from people who knew him. Then, let’s strategize about how to keep advancing the push for Palestine and justice.

In person:

Brookland Busboys & Poets, 625 Monroe St, NE, Washington DC

6 pm ET Wednesday, Dec. 13
