📆 UFP Upcoming Events 🌍
Mark your calendars for these experiences!
Dear Subscribers,
We are thrilled to share an array of upcoming events dedicated to fostering understanding and raising awareness about Palestine. These thought-provoking events provide unique opportunities for learning, engagement, and support.
As we enter this joyous season, it is important to reflect on the prevailing myth surrounding Palestine - that the conflict is solely about religion. However, it's essential to acknowledge the deep-rooted religious significance that spans thousands of years for the Abrahamic faiths: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
Make sure to mark your calendars, RSVP, and join us for these enlightening experiences that will broaden your perspective.
