Since October 7, the movement for Palestinian liberation in North America has demonstrated unprecedented levels of mass mobilization, resulting in a seismic shift in public opinion in favor of Palestine and exposing the false promises of democracy of the US political system. This session seeks to illustrate the crisis facing the U.S. political class and the two-party system, while also shedding light on the opportunities available to us to continue building grassroots popular consciousness and political power that can incrementally disrupt Zionist hegemony within mainstream politics. Panelists will explore the different possible outcomes of the 2024 Presidential election and the consequences it will hold for Palestine and the Palestinian movement in North America and methods by which we can get ready and organized to sustain our movement however the elections may unfold.
