NYC meeting highlights Gaza trip, new book

Supporters of Palestine jammed the Solidarity Center’s meeting hall in New York City on Jan. 19 to hear human rights leader Ramsey Clark and International Action Center Co-Director Sara Flounders report on their recent trip to the embattled and blockaded city of Gaza. Their reports increased the audience’s enthusiasm and solidarity with the heroic people of Gaza and helped build support for the new book, “Gaza: Symbol of Resistance.”

Sara Flounders, Ramsey Clark, Monica Moorehead and Joyce Chediac.

Joyce Chediac, editor of the new book, also spoke at the meeting. In addition to editing the selections, Chediac wrote material to weave together the contributions from activists, most of which were first published as articles in Workers World newspaper.

Many in the audience committed to help publish the new book and develop an audience for it in the U.S. and other countries. For more information on the book, see gazaresistancebook.com.
