DC rocks the White House on Nakba 65
T.C. Hall Media is with Marshall Scott and 5 others at The White House.
In 1948, nearly 800,000 Palestinians were uprooted from their lands and displaced across the world. As a result of Zionist colonization, some 533 villages were erased and 33 massacres committed. Today nearly 70% of Palestinians live in exile outside their historic homeland prohibited from return. Hundreds of thousands live in refugee camps in surrounding Arab countries and in occupied Palestine. Five million Palestinians still live under Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Twenty-percent of Israel’s population are Palestinians who live as second class citizens in the apartheid and segregated state.

USPCN is sad to announce the passing of Mike Siviwe Elliott, lifelong organizer and fighter for justice. Mike was politicized on the streets of Detroit, living through the Black rebellion of the 60s, where he witnessed the organizing and intense repression against the Black Panther Party.
He went on to become an auto worker and union organizer in the Detroit auto plants, where he was introduced by Arab colleagues to the Palestinian liberation movement.
We will never forget Mike's unwavering commitment to the Rasmea defense campaign, traveling with us from Chicago to Detroit for each and every court date, and working tirelessly in Chicago to build true cross-community solidarity between Black and Arab communities in support of Rasmea.
Mike was a leader in the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression's camapaign for an all-elected Civilian Police Accountability Council, and a tireless fighter for justice for all oppressed people, with a deep commitment to international solidarity, which he practiced with every waking breath.
We will miss him dearly. Rest in Power, Mike Siviwe Elliott!
