“Pinkwashing Exposed” Film Screening

  • Lavender Library 1414 21st Street Sacramento, CA, 95811 United States (map)

Join the Lavender Library for the second in our series of events highlighting the ways pinkwashing is being weaponized in the genocide of the people of Palestine.

Film synopsis: "In 2012, activists in the Pacific Northwestern region of the US responded to an Israeli Consulate-funded pinkwashing tour featuring Israeli gay and lesbian activists that was coming to the region. Local queer Palestine solidarity activists exposed the 'Rainbow Generations' tour as pro-Israel propaganda and got some of the events, including the tour’s centerpiece event hosted by the City of Seattle’s LGBT Commission, cancelled. A significant backlash ensued involving the Seattle City Council and Seattle’s leading LGBT and HIV organizations. Through the inspiring story of these activists’ victory, 'Pinkwashing Exposed' explores how pinkwashing works and what local activists are doing to fight back."

The screening will begin at 4:15 pm, and discussion will follow from 5:15 - 6 pm.

Masks are required, and community agreements will be set to ensure the conversation is civil and generative. Please RSVP HERE.
