ArabAmCC – Yemeni Lives at the Intersection of War & Discrimination
February 21, 2019
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Yemen's vibrant and diverse society has been decimated by this long ongoing war. UNICEF's recent report indicates that half the population of Yemen (15.6 million people) are living in a state of emergency. Yet, the Yemeni people rise and resist in Yemen and abroad, standing up to injustice and working together to support families and heal wounds. The US-Saudi alliance has fueled, funded, and supported this war and destruction.
Join us in hearing from scholars, activists, and community members. This event is wheelchair accessible. Event is free & open to the public.
