A Call for Liberation
On April 26, 2016, over 500 young American Jews risked arrest in five cities during Passover to declare "Dayenu! - Enough!" against American Jewish support for the occupation. This historic event is captured in the IfNotNow Liberation Seder documentary, which you can watch here.
Bringing Family to the Movement
The documentary opens with a personal reflection, where an individual lights candles to symbolically include their family in California, both in spirit and politics, as they participate in the Liberation Seder. This act underscores the importance of carrying forward our ancestors' dignity in the fight for collective liberation.
Challenging the Occupation
The film highlights the urgent need to confront the moral crisis of occupation. It calls on Jewish leaders to acknowledge this crisis and join the fight for freedom and dignity for all, emphasizing that Jewish liberation cannot happen without Palestinian liberation.
Facing Resistance
The documentary also addresses internal challenges, such as smear campaigns and censorship against those who speak out. It depicts the resilience of activists who refuse to be silenced and continue to demand justice.
A Generation's Promise
The message is clear: this generation is committed to transforming the community's support for the occupation into a movement for universal freedom and dignity. The film ends with a powerful call to action: IfNotNow, when?
