A couple of events to be aware of from Harold Shuster and Independent Jewish Voices:

This weeks All Out for Palestine rally will be on Saturday March 30th at 12:00 at City Hall.

Then on Saturday April 6th, Canadian Palestine Association of Manitoba is hosting a Justice 4 Palestine fund raising buzzer at the Ukrainian Labour Temple. Everyone is invited to join them on the 6th of April at the Ukrainian Labor Temple for a Bazzar-like fundraiser Iftar where local Winnipeg restaurants will be selling food/accessories etc and will be showcasing Palestinian songs and poetry. Tickets are $15.00 and can be purchased at: www.eventbrite.ca/e/justice-4-palestine-tickets-870071847317.  **MAKE SURE TO HAVE CASH**

And on Sunday April 7th, the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada is bringing Mike Fegelman, Executive Director of Honest Reporting Canada, to speak at a fund raiser at the Herzliya Synagogue. A Change.org petition has been started directed at the sponsors of the event, please go here to register your opposition to Mike and his “reporting” - https://www.change.org/p/oppose-honest-reporting-canada?utm_content=cl_sharecopy_37934786_en-CA%3A6&recruiter=1067183720&recruited_by_id=3be349e0-7221-11ea-a546-61f45224f5e9&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=signature_receipt&share_bandit_exp=initial-37934786-en-CA

We will be meeting in the Fleet Brock Park, the north west corner of Brock Street and Fleet, on Sunday April 7th, at 6:00 P.M. We are fully aware of the optics of holding a demonstration outside a synagogue but they have chosen the location and the synagogue has allowed their space to be used for a very political event, and we are not going to let that stop us. We will be contacting the synagogue to let them know of our intentions and how in no way is this demonstration targeting the synagogue or its congregants. 

Not surprisingly this has been brought to the attention of the Winnipeg Police Liaison Team. I have spoken with the PLT, and they have assured us they will not interfere with our right to demonstrate as long as we remain civil and stay in the park, which we fully intend to do.

Thanks as always for your support!

Harold
