Bearing Witness: Stories from the Palestinian Olive Harvest

Join Marin DSA to hear directly from Bay Area activists who recently traveled to the village of Burin in the West Bank to support Palestinian farmers with the 2025 olive harvest. The evening will consist of:

  • Food provided by a Palestinian chef

  • Screening a short documentary "Burin Under Fire"

  • Presentations

  • Mingling + Q&A

This will be a powerful opportunity to learn about the struggle of the community in the face of military rule and see how a Palestinian agricultural collective is working to care for their land and livelihood.

The Burin Land and Farming Cooperative is committed to developing agroecology as a means of actualizing food sovereignty, environmental justice, and mutual aid in the face of both Israeli military occupation and the privatization of communal resources.

Other relevant topics that we'll be touching on include:

  • Palestinian Food Sovereignty Work

  • Settler Violence & State Oppression

  • On the ground co-resistance work

  • Solidarity work abroad

Please consider adding a donation which will go to support folks in dire need in Gaza as well as Palestinian farmers: Burin Needs a Tractor!
