Join us for an evening of Palestinian food, music and dance in solidarity with Omar, for status, justice and dignity.
In June 2017, Omar, a stateless Palestinian refugee living and working in Canada for almost a decade, launched a public campaign, appealing directly to Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau demanding that he be granted permanent residency on humanitarian and compassionate grounds and that he be allowed to reunite with his wife and seven children, from whom he has been separated for the past ten years.
