Corvallis City Council Considering Resolution Equating Gaza War to the Holocaust at December Meeting

November, 2023 – Corvallis Palestine Solidarity: City Council Resolution – November 2023

Please read and sign in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

Corvallis Palestine Solidarity is a community organization in Corvallis, Oregon, working to promote awareness and engage community members and students in the campaign for justice, equality and human rights for the Palestinian people.

CPS hosts educational community events, films and discussions that are free and open to the public and also participates in rallies, conferences, marches and protests locally and regionally.

We often approach the political situation of Palestine through a cultural lens, highlighting the humanity, history, art, culture and food of the Palestinian people. We have organized numerous fundraisers—most benefiting the Middle East Children’s Alliance—from dinners and film series to a 3-day cultural weekend, which included hip hop music, a cooking class, a Palestinian fashion show, speakers, an art auction and food.

During Israel’s attacks on Gaza, we have organized funeral marches through the Corvallis Farmers Market, a mourning tent on the Oregon State University Quad, vigils and protests. We have collaborated with other Palestinian solidarity groups to host speakers and authors on tour through our region, worked in coordination with the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, and partnered with allies in our local faith communities in hosting educational events and film screenings.

We support the Palestinian people in their struggle for justice and human rights, and in their resistance to oppression and occupation, including their call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS). We welcome those who wish to join us.
