Join Out-FM Tuesday, Dec., 5th at 9pm for a special fundraising show on which we’ll be raising money for WBAI which is a part of the non-commercial social justice Pacifica Radio Network.

We'll be playing excerpts from two premiums we hope you’ll donate to get.  It will be a hard choice as they are both stellar.

Israel/Palestine and the Queer International (Fund Drive Special)

Tuesday 10/10/17 at 9pm:

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) is a strategy of the international movement to free Palestine to non-violently pressure Israel to obey international law, by stopping the occupation of Palestine and honor their international obligations. BDS has been pilloried by establishment politicians who have gone so far as to attempt to criminalize the movement, and Governor Cuomo signed an executive order to put groups honoring the boycott on a black list. In the process the movement has captured headlines and it has made the BDS movement much more well known.

Tonight's Out-FM discusses BDS and how the international LGBTQ has been a significant part of promoting it, and in the process has expanded political organizing space for progressive Israeli and Palestinian LGBTQI activists. We'll hear excerpts from a recent panel called, "Free(Speech)Palestine: Writers Talk about BDS (Boycott,Divestment & Sanctions) and Beyond" and a live interview with prominent writer, academic, and BDS activist Sarah Schulman.

We will be offering both the book (pledge of $75) and DVD, along with a Graphic Zine called "The Power of Our Voices" Graphic art about the call for the Cultural Boycott of Israel. Artwork by Ethan Heitner ($30 for DVD and zine) in two different affordable premium packages. You can help support WBAI and this show by calling: 516.620.3602

Or pledge on line for Sarah Schulman's book "Israel/Palestine and the Queer International" and/or the DVD of Free(Speech)Palestine: Writers Talk about BDS (Boycott,Divestment & Sanctions) and Beyond (and also get the Zine.)
