March 13-27 marks Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) 2023, a period of global mobilization to raise awareness about Israeli apartheid and build support for the Palestinian struggle to end Israel’s brutal system of apartheid, settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansing. The International Affairs Working Group of CT DSA invites you to a series of events to learn more about Palestine and how you can get involved in the global solidarity movement:
Tuesday March 21 @ 4pm, “The Time that Remains” movie screening & discussion at Southern Connecticut State University.
“The Time That Remains” is a film about the Israeli occupation of Palestine from 1948 to present. We will have a post-film discussion with speakers from the anti-Zionist Jewish congregation Mending Minyan; the International Affairs Working Group of CT DSA; and the student organization Yalies for Palestine.
The screening will take place on the SCSU campus. RSVP here for the room number and directions to find the building:

Wednesday March 22 @ 5 pm, “Boycott” movie screening & discussion at the New Haven Public Library.
Join us for a screening of “Boycott”, a film about the impact of state legislation designed to penalize individuals and companies that engage in BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanction), a set of non-violent tactics to put pressure on the Israeli occupation modeled after the international movement against the South African apartheid. We will have a post-film discussion on the broader implications of these laws for legal repression of social movements. Some states have already used the anti-BDS laws as templates for laws to restrict advocacy for issues, including divestment from fossil fuels, abortion, and gender affirming care.
The screening will take place in the Main branch of the New Haven Public Library, 133 Elm Street.

Sunday March 25 @ 6.30 pm, Palestine Solidarity Potluck
Join us for a social potluck bringing together organizers and community members who stand in solidarity with Palestine! This will be a chance to meet each other, break fast together for those observing Ramadan, chat in an informal space, and build relationships that strengthen our movement. Please bring food or a beverage to share, if you are able.
The potluck will take place at Black and Brown Power Center, 928 Chapel St, New Haven.
