Tadamon! is organizing a grassroots fundraising effort to coincide with Sunday’s Montreal demonstration in solidarity with Lebanon and Palestine. Tadamon! members will be collecting funds for the Sanayeh Relief Center during the march. Sanayeh Relief Centre is an initiative of Samidoun, a Beirut-based, grassroots coalition born out of the July 2006 attack on Lebanon.

The Sanayeh Relief Center is composed of groups who were on the ground on the first day of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon. They are coordinating among humanitarian aid and the displacement centers in Beirut, providing essential information, and organizing political action against the complicity of the “international community”.
At the upcoming Montreal demonstration in solidarity with Lebanon and Palestine, representatives of Tadamon! will be collecting funds for the Sanayeh Relief Center in well-marked red boxes. 100% of funds collected will go to the Sanayeh
Relief Center, which uses donations for its work with the displaced people of Lebanon.
Under the continuing Israeli assault on Lebanon, Tadamon! Montreal is continuing to develop and maintain connections with grassroots, independent relief & political initiatives directly rooted in Lebanon’s affected communities.
My heart goes out to all Lebanese families, women, children and men!
