Are you READY for Radio Free Palestine?? 👇 It's is an annual, global radio broadcast commemorating the anniversary of the Nakba-- the ongoing displacement, occupation, and apartheid inflicted on the Palestinian people since 1948. In 1948, over 750,000 Palestinians were violently expelled from their homes in a wave of ethnic cleansing that sought not only to remove them from their ancestral lands, but to erase the memory of them. The thing is, the Nakba wasn't a singular event. It's still unfolding today. Checkpoints, sieges, bombing of hospitals, the outlawing of mourning, and more that has plagued Palestinian peoples for decades. It's what's been happening in Gaza, the West Bank, the annexed Golan Heights; it spreads into Lebanon as we speak, and the diaspora at large who are forbidden by Israeli law to ever return home. What we're all witnessing is so much more than a "conflict." The U.S.-backed military occupation that has escalated into what the global majority understands is a genocide, is colonialism and indigenous erasure in real time. But to exist is to resist, thus even in the rubble, Palestinians resist with words, marches, memory, music, and more. And you can stand in solidarity with them from your Radio. . . On May 15, WPFW and stations across five continents come together to air Palestinian voices and truth. We're bringing you their voices uncensored and uncompromised and rooted in Palestinian self-determination. Radio Free Palestine amplifies the stories mainstream media is burying, offers historical context, and connects listeners to the deep roots of Palestinian resistance. What’s happening in Palestine isn’t separate from what happens here (wherever you are): - the increasing police militarization in your city - the surveillance and “security” tech tested on occupied people and deployed in our communities * your tax dollars funding bombs that level schools. Palestine is your struggle too. Tune in this Friday from 5am to 7pm at WPFW 89.3 FM or download the WPFW app (Pacifica) to listen from anywhere, all day, on the go. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸
