You’re invited to this exciting panel presentation with:

**Moderated by Rachel Ida Buff, Jewish Voice for Peace-Milwaukee

Come join the discussion about the right of return, build connections between Badil and US advocacy groups/communities, and connect issues of Palestinian right of return to other Indigenous, racial justice, and refugee struggles in our communities.

Here are some questions the panelists will consider:
• While the US limits refugees from several Muslim-majority
countries, where do Palestinian refugees stand in the world?
• How is their struggle connected to the immediate issues
facing various immigrant and refugee populations, and how is
it different?
• How can we support practical visions to realize the right of
return for Palestinian refugees in the context of the struggle
for human rights for all?
