About the event: Medo Halimy, a 19 year-old Gazan, is one of the countless martyrs whose names and lives we must continue to remember and honor. He was killed in an airstrike by the settler colonial entity while sitting on the beach enjoying the sunset. Medo had a large following on social media where he would share about his everyday tent life in Gaza. As an act of resistance, he would plant something everyday of the genocide and update followers on his gardening efforts every day.
They say that we die twice: the first time is when we take our last breath, the second is the last time someone says our name. Pronouncing Medo as Meadow allows us to think of him every time we see a meadow and keep him with us. We invite you to join us in spreading seeds of liberation to create Meadows everywhere.
Planting seeds of liberation on campus is not only a way to commemorate Medo collectively, it is a way to cultivate and spread our liberation rooted in resistance. We have been collecting seeds for us to plant and have invited two speakers, artist Omar Al Sayed and psychotherapist Mustafa Jayyousi, to join us. Join us in honoring Medo and the countless other martyrs of Palestine and Lebanon.
