About This Event

In moments of collective mobilisation and protest, communities often carry complex emotions — grief, hope, anger, solidarity, fatigue.

Café Palestine: Community Debrief & Gathering is a space to pause, reflect, and process together.

Following recent protests and community action, this evening gathering will provide:

  • A safe space to debrief and reflect
  • Community dialogue grounded in care and justice
  • Practical discussion on navigating what comes next
  • Connection with leaders, advocates, and community members

This is not a protest.
This is a community care space.

Together, we will explore:

  • How do we hold justice and compassion together?
  • How do we sustain advocacy without burning out?
  • What does community care look like after mobilisation?
  • What is our collective responsibility moving forward?
