Join us for a night of poetry, burlesque, and community to raise funds for Mohammed & his family in Gaza. Read description for more!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 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.

What to expect:
We will have four poets who will share their pieces with us in hopes to take us on a journey of grief, joy, and more. We'll have a musical duo CHERA CHERA performing some songs for us, and closing the night we'll have a special burlesque performance by Hibiscus Lust.
Prior to the show we will have two local vendors selling art + food, and a cute raffle to maximize fundraising potential. The event will likely come to a close around 8:30pm. There will be food vendors that you may purchase food from. We will have water available for free.
Note: Please reach out to the organizer if you have any accessibility needs for the event! We will do our absolute best to accommodate you, and if we are unable to accommodate you may request a refund.
Grab your friends and family, and head over to Curious Comedy Theater for an evening filled with art, community, and a chance to support families in Gaza.
With Love,
Free Palestine!
