SUMMARY:Palestine Solidarity Sukkot
DESCRIPTION:October 6-13 is the Jewish festival of Sukkot. During Sukkot\, Jewish people are reminded that our ancestors once wandered as freed slaves and refugees\, living in temporary shelters. We mark this by building sukkahs: roofless\, four-sided structures. To show that we have learned from the travails of the past\, Jewish tradition calls us to open our sukkahs to strangers in celebration of shelter\, food\, and connection. \nWe cannot celebrate while Israel inflicts genocide and famine on the people of Palestine. The only way to remain true to the tradition of Sukkot is to stand in solidarity with Palestinian\, First Peoples and allied communities in so-called Australia. This year\, our sukkah will be a space of resistance\, inter-community connection\, and commitment to never again for all peoples. \nWe are hosting a grassroots Palestine Solidarity Sukkot fundraiser on October 12 in an outdoor CBD location after the regular Sunday protest. \nPlease join us to: \n1. Fundraise for PARA (Palestine Australia Relief Action) and ActionAid’s Gaza Appeal. \n2. Engage in meaningful inter-community building based on a commitment to justice. \n3. Continue calling on the Australian government to take meaningful action—including sanctions—against the Israeli government. \n4. Experience Jewish tradition outside of the political ideology of Zionism. \nNote: this is a grassroots event\, organised by members of the Jewish community in Naarm who stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people as they struggle against Israeli apartheid\, occupation and genocide. \nYou can contact us on Instagram: @palestinesolidaritysukkot

SUMMARY:Working bee: creating 280 Press Vests at Garage 35 Art Studio
DESCRIPTION:The values helping guide our art making process: truth-telling\, reverence\, creativity\, care and impact. This action welcomes everyone – from organisers to those who are looking for their first opportunity to take action. Arts activism is just one of many ways we can and should act. \nWHAT: we are making one Press vest for every journalist killed in Palestine. They are life-size and can be individually held. The back of each vest has one martyr’s name and photo. \nWHERE: vests are being made and stored at Garage 35 Art Studio – a non-profit cooperative in Noble Park on Boonwurrung Bunurong Country. \nWHY: this project is inspired by Paper Kites for Palestine and the Will of Palestinian Journalist\, Anas al-Sharif\, who was martyred by an Israeli airstrike in August 2025:\n“I entrust you with (Palestine’s) people\, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace…I urge you not to let chains silence you\, nor borders restrain you.” . Data including names and photos are being sourced from: shireen.ps/press \nWHO: the vests are being made by the community in Melbourne’s south-east. Open sessions are being promoted by Free Palestine Dandenong for anyone to help create the vests. This project has an emphasis on bringing in new people to the movement (i.e. artists\, folks in the south-east\, Journalism students / arts students etc.) through arts making. \nHOW: Art making sessions are being facilitated by an Arts Therapist\, Gen Townsend (she/her)\, to offer space for community to grieve\, act\, learn and share. There is a Whatsapp channel in the Free Palestine Dandenong community to discuss ideas and coordinate how the vests can have impact through public display and activation. This is an open group that anyone can join to collaboratively make decisions. \nJOIN PROJECT WHATSAPP: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HCcY9hIK2nl84iR8zxTdLe?mode=ems_copy_t

SUMMARY:Gaza: Defending Health Advocacy

SUMMARY:Women’s Strike for Palestine – September 22
DESCRIPTION:On September 22 the day after the International Day of Peace\, we are organising a Women’s Strike for Palestine.\nWe welcome everyone to stand with us in this urgent call to action as we demand peace\, liberation\, and land back. \nBy striking the day after the International Day of Peace\, we make it clear: peace is not a slogan while bombs fall\, homes are destroyed\, and people live under siege. Peace cannot exist without justice\, without an end to occupation\, without land back. \nPalestinian women have always been at the heart of resistance. From the women’s committees of the First Intifada who organised mass boycotts and strikes\, to today’s mothers\, daughters\, queer and trans Palestinians keeping communities alive under genocide\, their struggle shows us that survival is resistance and resistance is life. \nWe stand in uncompromising solidarity with queer and trans people in Palestine\, and with queer\, trans\, two-spirited\, and sistergirl communities here on these stolen lands and across the world\, who resist colonialism\, heteropatriarchy\, pinkwashing and state violence in all its forms. You are part of our community\, we see you\, we honour you\, and we welcome you in our collective struggle. Our struggles are bound together\, and none of us are free until all of us are free \nAcross history\, women everywhere have withdrawn their labour to challenge exploitation\, violence\, and injustice: \n* In Nigeria (1929)\, tens of thousands of Igbo women rose up in the “Aba Women’s War\,” refusing colonial taxation and shutting down colonial offices through mass protest\, boycotts\, and strikes.\n* In Liberia (2003) women organised market shutdowns\, sit-ins\, and even a sex strike\, forcing an end to years of civil war and pushing warring parties to the peace table. \nWomen’s strikes are not only about workplaces\, they are about withdrawing care\, labour\, and consent from systems that depend on our survival while denying us dignity. \nThis September 22 at 12pm\, we strike for Palestine in Martin Place in Sydney (Gadigal). We strike for land back. We strike for liberation. We strike for peace rooted in justice. \nJoin us. Stand with us. Strike with us!
