🍉 Join the Freedom for All Seder! 🍉

On Tuesday, April 30th at 6pm in Nathan Phillips Square, join IfNotNowToronto, Jews Say No To Genocide, and حرية for a collaborative Jewish-Palestinian resistance seder organized by Jewish and Palestinian activists.
It is a traditional part of the Seder to invite people in and to say “Let all who are hungry come and eat.” As children are dying from starvation in Gaza and the imposed famine deepens, we will refrain from eating a festive meal.
There will be an ASL interpreter on site, large-font printouts, peer support, earplugs, and some chairs for accessibility needs. While we will be outside, we encourage masking and ask those who are sick to remain home and join us remotely.
Can’t make it in person? Join remotely via IfNotNowToronto’s Instagram live-stream with live captioning. Make sure to check out the social media channels above for updated info!
