This week, Canadian viewers have a unique opportunity to hear one of TRNN’s correspondents reflect on her work in the Middle East.

Tarachanksy will be speaking in Toronto at 7pm on Thursday October 13th at Beit Zatoun, 612 Markham St. Her talk will focus on her ongoing coverage of the region for The Real News Network and will touch upon Israel’s J14 movement – its origin, its implications for Palestinians and its evolution in the context of the Arab Spring.

We are pleased to say that we have a matching grant of five thousand dollars in support of Lia’s work. We would like to able to send her back to the region to continue her work. Every dollar that you contribute in support of Lia’s work will trigger a second dollar in a matching grant. We hope that we can raise enough money to fund Lia’s work for the next several months.  Click here to donate and select Middle East as the area you’d most like your contribution to support.
