*AT 12PM ET / 7PM Palestine*
In April 2024, the Institute for the Understanding of Anti-Palestinian Racism (IUAPR) published the results of a national survey that explored the impact of anti-Palestinian racism on both Palestinians and their allies in their daily life. The results revealed key insights into how racism and discrimination against Palestinians have harmful effects on Palestinians and non-Palestinian allies advocating for Palestinian rights in the United States.
Anti-Palestinian racism affects both non-Palestinians and Palestinians. In this webinar, speakers will highlight the manifestations and subtleties of anti-Palestinian racism, key findings from their study, as well as health-related impact of anti-Palestinian racism. The webinar will include a Q&A segment.
