How do you respond to someone who refers to the U.S. and Israel’s continued military rule in Gaza a “peace plan”? What can you say to someone who describes the continued starvation, bombing, and shooting of Palestinians a “ceasefire”? Join us for a practical salon/workshop featuring language experts and Palestinian human rights advocates as they share their tips for recognizing and reframing misleading headlines, correcting faulty narratives, highlighting bigoted stereotypes, introducing suppressed truths, and overcoming apathy. You’ll gain tools to have meaningful conversations in which you listen compassionately, think critically, and speak truthfully – for maximum impact.
