An online evening of poetry, raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians.

3pm Eastern in the US / 7pm UK

Donate to get tickets to the event. (Other ways of attending the event are available, as well.)

Poets for Palestine come together to express their unwavering support and solidarity to all those affected by the tragic conflict in the region. Like so many of you we feel distraught and helpless as events continue to unfold, with thousands of Palestinian civilians, half of whom are children, now dead or in desperate need of aid following Israel's breaches of international law and the Geneva Convention.

This event will see short readings and pre-recordings from prominent international poets who have openly supported the rights of Palestinian people, and called to end Israeli occupation.

Please donate what you can (suggested donation £10, but it would be wonderful if you could donate £20, £50 or more, and we understand if your current circumstances do not permit – if you are unable to donate but would like to attend the event in solidarity, please email Patricia on press@outspokenldn.com – no proof of circumstance required.)

All proceeds will go directly to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

***NOTE: EVENT TIME / CLOCK CHANGES*** Please note that the clocks went back one hour in the UK and Europe on Sunday 29 October. The event will start at 7PM UK (GMT) on Monday 30 October — Please double-check the event time in your time zone.
