As genocide in Gaza is unfolding, I invite you to listen to those who have dedicated their lives to anti-oppression work.
Today, that is a conversation with Dr. Cornel West.
He was just on The Red Nation Podcast – a podcast I highly recommend – talking to Nick Estes and his co-host about so much:
Palestine, the brutal destruction of Gaza, resistance and its different forms, indigenous movements and rights to land, the empire, and the need for us to engage in that struggle that is about our collective liberation.
It might be just the conversation you need to hear.
And it is definitely the community you want to be in.
I hope you watch or listen to this conversation today and share it generously.
This week is also Global Strike Week for Palestine, so watching this video could be your or someone else’s action for Palestine of the day.
Stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️
