📢 EMERGENCY POWER HOUR- FREE DR. ABU SAFIYA Join us for an urgent hour of solidarity and action for Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, who has been held in Israeli detention for over 18 months without charge or trial.

In his last meeting, he told his lawyer, "They brought me here to kill me”. As the occupation wages a brutal campaign of mass imprisonment, torture, and murder, join us to pressure US and Canadian officials to condemn, sanction, and act against the attacks on Dr. Hussam and all our political prisoners!

Join our Power Hour, as part of the international Week of Action, to pressure US and Canadian officials to condemn, sanction, and act against the attacks on our prisoners! Knesset has approved a bill making death by hanging the automatic sentence for Palestinian prisoners convicted of “terror” attacks in military courts. This legislation not only violates international law and constitutes a war crime, but would also threaten to mass execute more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. As the occupation wages a brutal campaign of mass imprisonment, torture, and murder, and repression intensifies here in the imperial core, centering the prisoners’ struggle is more urgent than ever. 🗓 Thursday, April 16, 3pm EST/12 pm PST 📍Register here: bit.ly/4sWzRDw

For Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, the People’s Center for Palestine is proud to host a critical webinar on the conditions of prisoners and how to get involved in the Freedom for Palestinian Political Prisoners international campaign. On March 30, 2026, the Knesset passed a law mandating the death penalty for Palestinians in military courts – making execution the default sentence in certain cases, with hanging to be carried out within 90 days. At the same time, conditions inside prisons continue to deteriorate. Today, over 9,400 Palestinian prisoners are held in Zionist jails, many without charge under administrative detention. We will be joined by Khaled Mahajneh, one of the first journalists to enter the infamous Sde Teiman detention camp. At a time when prisoners are facing a genocide behind bars and under the threat of execution, we must take action. 🗓 Sunday, April 12 4pm EST/1pm PST 📍Register here: bit.ly/prisonersapril17

🚨 🚨 CALL-OUT: LET’S PHONE ZAP OUR MPs!!!! Feb 12th 2 - 5pm, lets make some calls together! 🚨 🚨 Canadian-made explosives and aircraft parts are flowing to Israel through a U.S. loophole, fuelling the ongoing genocide in Gaza. • 150+ shipments of Québec-made explosives to U.S. plants making 2,000-lb bombs for Israel. • Dozens of direct shipments of Canadian jet parts to the Israeli Air Force. The government's "pause" on permits did nothing to stop this. Only Bill C-233, the No More Loopholes Act, can close this loophole. The vote is at the end of February - we just have a few weeks to force MPs to choose. JOIN OUR PHONE ZAP: Flood your MP's office with calls. Demand they vote YES on C-233 and support a full arms embargo on Israel. Join us on Feb 12th (Thursday) from 2 pm - 5 pm at Cafe Le Philanthrope at UQAM 🚨 🚨 APPEL À L'ACTION : APPELONS NOS DÉPUTÉS !!!! Le 12 février, de 14 h à 17 h, passons quelques coups de fil ensemble ! 🚨 🚨 Des explosifs et des pièces d'avion fabriqués au Canada sont acheminés vers Israël grâce à une faille dans la législation américaine, alimentant ainsi le génocide en cours à Gaza. • Plus de 150 cargaisons d'explosifs fabriqués au Québec ont été expédiées vers des usines américaines qui fabriquent des bombes de 2 000 livres pour Israël. • Des dizaines de cargaisons directes de pièces d'avion canadiennes ont été expédiées à l'armée de l'air israélienne. La « pause » imposée par le gouvernement sur les permis n'a rien fait pour mettre fin à cette situation. Seul le projet de loi C-233, la loi « No More Loopholes Act », peut combler cette faille. Le vote aura lieu à la fin du mois de février. Il ne nous reste que quelques semaines pour forcer les députés à se prononcer. JOIGNEZ-VOUS À NOTRE CAMPAGNE TÉLÉPHONIQUE : Inondez le bureau de votre député d'appels téléphoniques. Exigez qu'il vote OUI au projet de loi C-233 et qu'il appuie un embargo total sur les armes à destination d'Israël. Joignez-vous à nous le jeudi 12 février, de 14 h à 17 h, au Café Le Philanthrope de l'UQAM. https://www.instagram.com/p/DUW9tCAkYc0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

🚨 MONTRÉAL EMERGENCY PROTEST - CARNEY IS IN TOWN🚨 Crime Minister Carney is coming to Montreal while Canada continues to funnel weapons into a genocide through a loophole that sends Canadian-made parts to Israel via the U.S. This is complicity. Across Montreal, over twenty elected officials were voted in on an arms embargo platform. The message is clear. Now Ottawa has a choice: close the loophole, or keep its hands dirty. MPs must back the No More Loopholes Act, and stop arming war crimes. NOT IN OUR CITY. ARMS EMBARGO NOW. 🗓️ TODAY Nov 14 at 1 pm 📍900 Rene-Levesque Blvd W, Montreal, QC, H3B 4A5 Be there, make it impossible for them to pretend they don’t hear us.
