About this Event
Join the PYM at St. Paul and St. Andrew United Methodist Church for special performance by the NYC Palestinian Youth Choir, a PYM project that brings together youth from the diaspora to revive and preserve Palestinian culture, history, and the spirit of resistance through music. Made up of 25 vocalists and 11 band members, the choir will be singing an exclusive and carefully curated setlist of music from the prisoner's movement that will honor dignity, testimonies, and steadfastness of our people.
April 17th will mark the 52nd annual Palestinian Prisoners' Day, a national day of solidarity dedicated to Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, a call for their freedom and rights, and a reminder that our prisoners remain central to achieving collective liberation. The Palestinian prisoners' struggle has been the soul and anchor of the Palestinian movement, spanning decades of European, U.S., and Israeli occupation of our land.
Today, over 9,300 Palestinians are currently imprisoned in Israel’s dungeons, where they’re being starved, tortured, and deprived of basic needs. As Israel advances legislation that would permit the mass execution of Palestinian prisoners and adopts policies designed to degrade these already horrific conditions, we must act now to heed the prisoners’ calls. It is our collective responsibility to carry the Palestinian Prisoners struggle for dignity, expose the Israeli occupation’s brutality against prisoners and demand that every guilty and complicit actor be held responsible, until every Palestinian prisoner is free.
Doors open at 6:30PM and the performance will begin promptly at 7PM. Runtime 90 minutes.
All proceeds from the evening will go towards the Palestinian Youth Movement which recently launched the international campaign, .
