The day will feature a presence inside and outside of the meetings of the committees to which our bills are currently assigned – the House committee in the morning and the Senate committee in the afternoon.

The Nakba is the expulsion of over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and land, and the destruction of Palestinian society during the creation of the State of Israel – a destruction that continues today – the ongoing Nakba.
