Thursday November 27, 7pm – 9pm at Borderlands Co-operative, 30A Pickett Street Footscray.
A campaign for urgent and sustained action.
We are on a critical mission together.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is severe. Mass displacement, pervasive socio-economic challenges, and profound psychological trauma is impacting the Palestinian people intensely and severely, restricting the entry of essential supplies and pushing the population toward famine. This is about survival, of individuals, of a people.
Gaza’s agricultural sector has been devastated. Many farm lands have become inaccessible and directly impacting urban family farmers and women who rely on these lands for their livelihoods and food security. Only 20% of women-led enterprises remain operational, and many have suffered partial or total damage, losing production capacity.
We need your support.
Our Mission: To raise solidarity funds to support local efforts to consolidate seeds preservation and production for the people of Gaza.
Join us to hear direct stories of food sovereignty, hope and resilience from a number of speakers across Melbourne/Naarm and Gaza, as well as Egypt and other places of forced displacement.
Hosted by Global Gardens of Peace, Sustain: The Australian Food Network, Just Food Collective and Gaza Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Platform (GUPAP), with support from other organisations.
