Portland For Palestine: Comedy + Storytelling Fundraiser
About this Event
Portland For Palestine (PFP) is a fundraising series and a boycott effort. For us it is also a call to action.
We believe artists have the responsibility to curate artistic spaces that aren't merely a distraction, rather, are responsive to our local and global community in alignment with our collective liberation. We divest from the zionist networks that are prevalent in the comedy and art scene in Portland, and resist by creating our own spaces.

Who we are supporting:
All funds raised from ticket sales and raffle sales will support our dear friend Mohammed and his family. Mohammed and his siblings were all in the process of achieving higher education when the terrors of colonization and imperialism turned their world upside down. As we know, there are no universities left in Gaza. So this fundraiser will support Mohammed and his family to survive life in Gaza, rebuild and hopefully resume their education. Our people need us, and this is our small effort in showing up for them.

The Portland for Palestine Event Series is a space for community to share in joy, laughter, resistance and solidarity while raising funds for a family in Gaza. The show line up will feature spoken word, comedy, storytelling and a special musical perfomance to close the night. Music will be played throughout the event by the wonderful DJ Wildchild!
