     Bettejo Passalaqua will be our guest speaker for the evening. She will speak on the subject of Palestine, followed by the Academy Award nominated film Five Broken Cameras. 

     Bettejo Passalaqua volunteers in the West Bank of Palestine with International Women's Peace Service. With IWPS since 2009, she stands with Palestinians in their non violent resistance to the Occupation, documents human rights abuses and works to raise awareness locally for Palestine. Through pictures and first hand account Bettejo will share with us the daily struggle of Palestinians, brutalized by the Occupation Forces and systematically dispossessed of their land.

1. JILL STEIN EVENT IN ST. PETERSBURG, Florida
   • Start time: 07:00pm

   • End time: 09:00pm
   • Published: Thursday, May 9th

   • Dr. Jill Stein was the Green Party's Presidential Candidate for 2012.

     While Dr. Stein has and always will be just as comfortable on the ground at the Keystone Pipeline resistance, in the streets with Occupy Wall Street and in front of Bank of America doing direct actions against home foreclosures, this event gives her an opportunity to meet people in a formal, but comfortable setting.

     Dr. Stein will speak about her recent trip to Norway to meet with Euro Greens and the Green Shadow Cabinet along with other topics and issues. Venue will be a beautiful glass enclosed pavilion overlooking Tampa Bay, The Pier, Vinoy Yacht Club, Straub Park and the sailboats of the St. Pete Marina.

     There is seating for 220 people in the gallery. Dr. Stein will take the stage at 7PM. There will be a lively Q&A session afterwards and plenty of time to meet and greet. Attendees are also given access to the museum if anyone chooses do a walk through.

     Please plan on attending & spread the word!
     This event is hosted by the St. Petersburg Green Party.
