Upcoming events.
Women Only Dabke Group
We believe that in order to totally dismantle the patriarchy and misogyny, we must create a strong, empowered, and confident community of women. In order to be able to protect one another, we must know one another.
Our goal is to cultivate a culture that allows women to freely connect with their roots without the judgement or discomfort from Cis-gender men
We also intend on applying abolitionist values, creating a structure to navigate conflict, holding folks accountable within the space, creating an environment that prioritizes love & care, as well as having internal workshop/teach ins throughout these sessions.

Student Organizing 101
Al Sumoud Center is collaborating with Student Government at the University of Michigan Dearborn to provide one on one session and a public workshop o help students make sense of the political landscape on campus and get their footing as activists.
There is so much injustice that needs to be addressed, and you can start right here on campus. We know what that struggle is like and want to be in solidarity with what you want to build. As a student organizer, you stand in a strong legacy of student activism going back generations.

Healing and Tatreez
Come if you have been feeling unwell and come if you have been feeling well to support those that aren't. Our goal at forthebinat is to challenge the western way of believing that everyone should only care for themselves. We believe that in order for us to defeat our oppressors we must care for our community!
Join us Saturday Aug 14 for a healing session where we can process together the events that had occurred this week and fight stronger together in the next. We will also be teaching tatreez which is a beautiful Palestinian practice that can be a source of ease outside this space. You must rsvp here to receive location!
Supplies for tatreez will be available.
