On Labor Day weekend 2025, 4,600 people converged in Detroit for the second Peoples Conference for Palestine. Over three very full days, the multi-dimensional meaning and mandate of the banner, Gaza is the Compass, was explored by activists, scholars, artists, labor organizers and elected leaders from across North America and Palestine.
