Transnational Great Return March - San Diego Action

International call to action in support of The Great Return March! We are calling our community and allies to take action and launch demonstrations in support of the Great Return March on April 14th, just as the righteous resisters in Gaza have declared. The time has come for our youth wherever they may be to raise their voices in support of the rightful struggle of our people in Gaza, and for our youth in diaspora to proclaim we will never surrender the right of return. Now more than ever when we seem the most divided, we must come together in collectively asserting our right to return and our dream of the total liberation of our people and homeland. There will be no solution without the total end of the Zionist colonization of Palestine--return is our right, and demand: we will return! Palestine will be free! We will meet at 12 pm on Saturday, April 14th in front of the Balboa Park Fountain. Please share this event widely.

San​ ​Diego​ ​County is​ ​a​ ​multi-national​, multicultural region​ with​ ​ vibrant immigrant​ ​and​ ​refugee​ ​communities.​ With the erosion of public trust in government and increasingly uncivil public discourse, we call on local​ ​lawmakers​ ​to stand up for all San Diegans and to ensure​ ​the region's newcomer,​ ​immigrant, and​ ​Muslim​ ​families​ are safe, valued and included members of our shared community. So that every San​ ​Diegan may feel safe, valued and included,​ our​ ​ region​ ​must​ ​address​ ​the​ key sustainability​ ​issues​ ​of​ ​access​ ​to​ ​ housing,​ ​transparent​ ​democracy,​ and​ ​constitutional​ ​rights​ to privacy​ and​ free​ practice​ ​of​ religion. On December 10th, as we observe International Human Rights Day of Action, we will gather as a chorus of voices standing up against hateful rhetoric and discriminatory legislation. We call on our public elected representatives—and on each other—to take responsible action to welcome and protect the rights of our newcomer and immigrant families.

Art Therapy

It's easy for children to express their feelings by drawing a picture as opposed to answering questions directly. Children may be reluctant or even hostile about discussing certain topics. Creating artwork is a safe venue that allows kids to tackle tough issues in a creative way. Talking to the children about their drawings or paintings and helping them interpret the art can provide adults with the opening they need to get at the heart of the problems affecting our children and help the children release their negative emotions.

Positive Parenting in The Muslim Home

Parenting is all too often filled with sleepless nights, tears, and anxiety followed by endless doubts: “Did I do my best?” “What could I have done differently?” “Am I responsible?” Positive Discipline, a philosophy conceptualized by Dr. Jane Nelsen, provides a powerful model for channeling parenting struggles into proven methods that yield results. Noha Alshugairi and Munira Lekovic Ezzeldine will share timeless principles on how to: ●Approach parenting in Islam as a process of love and guidance ●Apply Positive Discipline tools to nurture Islamic values in matters of faith, relationships, and everyday life ●Empower children to be responsible, capable and proactive individuals ●Address sensitive issues constructively, including sex, drugs, bullying, and youth radicalization ●Resolve conflicts by focusing on solutions rather than punishments
