Please join your neighbors, friends, and partners at Novel for an evening of expression, reflection, and activism, featuring short readings by writers and community leaders, as well as a number of raffles. Our goal is simple: to raise as much money as we can to send to the people who need it most. There will be music, art, books, and donated items for raffle from your favorite Maine vendors (Paper Tiger, Bread and Friends, Waterstruck, Washington Baths, original art by James Foley and Jamie Hogan, and much more!) —all in support of humanitarian relief for Gaza. It will be a space for grief, for action, for love, and for hope. Spoken words by Lily King, Zahir Janmohamed, Karen Ortiz, Rebecca Turkewitz, Chelsea Conaboy, Onnesha Roychoudhuri, Arisa White and more! We are raising funds for lifesaving convoys bringing food, water, and medical supplies directly to families in Gaza. The situation is urgent. The need is real. If you're in a position to give, please consider donating to this grassroots effort: ?Stand with Gaza: Help Fund Lifesaving Convoys Please, please donate whatever you can. Funds go directly to The Center for Freedom and Justice, a direct action nonprofit. Please come if you can. Please give if you can. And if you can’t do either, please help us spread the word. Because silence isn’t neutrality. And small acts, when joined together, can become lifelines. We all do better when we all do better.

Avelo Airlines has accepted a $150 MILLION contract to operate deportation flights out of airports across the country, including right here in Portland, ME. This operation has aided the Trump Administration in illegally deporting people without due process and is responsible for violently separating families and communities. Learn more about the Coalition to Stop Avelo and DSA's International Committee to get involved in the campaign! In all ways possible, we MUST show up and fight back against ICE and this fascist takeover. Show up this Saturday!
