As NDP members prepare to vote for the party's next leader, join us for a debate on Palestine with the 2026 NDP leadership contestants.

For the past two years, the Palestine movement has worked to hold Canada’s political establishment to account. As the NDP increasingly carries advocacy work into Parliament, this debate will bring forward the key priorities of pro-Palestine voices — centering the conversation on Palestine and putting prospective party leaders on the record.

CJPME President Yara Shoufani will moderate the debate. Participants include:
Tanille Johnston
Avi Lewis
Heather McPherson
Tony McQuail

The questions have been crafted by CJPME and allied collaborators. The topics will include, but are not limited to: International Law & Accountability;  Anti-Racism & Anti-Hate Legislation; Trade & Diplomacy.

The event is free, but donations are much appreciated. You can also become a monthly donor to CJPME here:
