Robert Reed: Waste Zero With Recology
Sunday, April 12 – 12:30 to 2 pm, TSK Room (in-person only)
Lunch – Conversation
​​
Mya Shone has been involved for more than four decades in the Palestinian struggle for self-determination. In 1982, as Israel laid waste to Beirut and the Palestinian camps throughout Lebanon, Mya and her late husband Ralph Schoenman crafted a national media campaign for the Committee in Defense of the Lebanese and Palestinian Peoples. Their work included firsthand documentation of the massacre in Sabra and Shatila and an exposé of the plight of Palestinian prisoners. They provided testimony at tribunals,
produced a report for the United Nations, a slideshow, The War in Lebanon: An Inside View, the now classic book The Hidden History of Zionism, and numerous articles and radio broadcasts. In 1988, as the first Intifada unfolded, Mya and Ralph organized the Palestine Campaign to End All Aid to Apartheid Israel for a democratic, secular Palestine, concepts considered radical at the time but now seem obvious to all who hold true to democratic principles.

California has the 4th largest economy in the world, so why do we lead the nation with the highest rates of poverty? With a $4 trillion economy, we could be guaranteed an affordable cost of living for everyone, overnight. But the politicians in power work for the billionaires, not us. It’s time for working people to be in charge of state politics. The Vote Socialist 2026 candidates are working people who understand what it means to survive in California. The Peace and Freedom Party and Vote Socialist 2026 slate stand for putting people first: where housing is a human right, healthcare is put before profit, and everyone has quality education regardless of their zip code. These candidates are also the only to offer a climate justice plan at scale. Join us to hear directly from 3 Vote Socialist campaign candidates.
