SUMMARY:5 Broken Cameras: Film Screening & Conversation with Iyad Burnat
DESCRIPTION:Advocates 4 Justice invites you to join us for a screening of the Academy Award-nominated documentary 5 Broken Cameras and a conversation with Palestinian human rights activist Iyad Burnat. \nFilmed in the West Bank village of Bil’in\, 5 Broken Cameras tells the story of a community confronting the loss of its land through nonviolent protest. Told through the lens of a Palestinian family\, the film documents years of demonstrations\, military raids\, arrests\, and the daily realities of life under occupation. The result is an intimate and powerful record of both hardship and perseverance. \nFollowing the film\, attendees will hear directly from Iyad Burnat\, a co-founder and leader of the Bil’in Committee Against the Wall. Burnat’s work and the story of his family helped bring international attention to Bil’in’s grassroots movement and its commitment to nonviolent resistance. \nAt Advocates 4 Justice\, we believe education is the first step toward meaningful action. By creating opportunities to hear directly from those living through injustice\, we hope to encourage deeper understanding\, informed discussion\, and greater engagement on issues affecting Palestinians and other communities facing discrimination and inequality around the world. \nWe hope you will join us for this opportunity to learn\, reflect\, and participate in an important conversation. \nDate: Tuesday\, June 16\, 2026\nDoors Open: 5:45 PM\nFilm Screening: 6:00 PM\nDiscussion with Iyad Burnat: Immediately Following the Film\nLocation: Lake Street Church of Evanston\, 1450 Chicago Avenue\, Evanston\, IL 60201 \nThis is an i-person event only. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:The Occupation of the American Mind
DESCRIPTION:Advocates 4 Justice is hosting a virtual screening and discussion on January 13 at 6pm\, and everyone’s invited!\n\nWe’ll be watching The Occupation of the American Mind\, a documentary that explores how public narratives are shaped; about Israel and Palestine\, about conflict\, about power\, and how these narratives influence what Americans come to see as normal\, acceptable\, or inevitable.\n\nThe documentary opens a door to a broader conversation about our own society. How the stories we are told affect the way marginalized communities are viewed and treated here in the United States\, including immigrants\, people of color\, and other groups who often experience unequal treatment or diminished protections.\n\nThis is not about blame or ideology. It’s about awareness. It’s about understanding how narratives shape policy\, how policy shapes lives\, and why informed\, thoughtful civic participation matters.\n\nWe’ll talk about how this connects to human rights\, racial justice\, immigrant justice\, and ultimately to the kind of leadership we choose and the kind of political system we build through our votes.\n\nJoin this free virtual screening and discussion. It’s open to anyone who wants to learn\, reflect\, and engage respectfully. You may also get a chance to hear from some of our new generation of candidates.\nPre-registration is required.
