If you agree that indigenous communities can and should speak for themselves, here’s a concrete way you can help.
I am in Panama now (March 2026) and will be participating in a workshop on audio post-production for documentaries.
How does that relate to you?
This workshop will be given by Ulu Films, an indigenous film collective. It has worked with Health In Harmony, an amazing anti-colonial organisation I was a part of until recently (this is how I learned about them for the first time). You can see one of their collaborative initiatives below.
The cost of this workshop is $40, which is what I will cover myself. The good news is that the funds collected will be used to visit indigenous communities in Panama and provide them with the same training.
As someone who has studied Film Studies (it is my second major, in addition to Political Science), produces amateurish videos, and works with audio, I understand how good sound design is a big part of any audiovisual project.
That’s why I would be delighted to see these workshops go to as many communities in Panama as possible.
And that’s why financially contributing to this initiative is a concrete way to amplify indigenous voices.
Therefore, I invite you to make a transfer (please leave Ulu as a reference) directly to my bank by March 22, 2026, so I can add it to my own contribution and pass it to Ulu’s team.

Needless to say, I will report back on how much we are able to collect together and how the workshops went ✊🏽
Thank you in advance for contributing or spreading the word – it all matters!

- There Are Those Who Celebrate Women’s Day and Cheer for the Bombing of Schools
Using the “liberation of women” is not new when it comes to justifying the unjustifiable. Notice how it is used again in Iran, including by those who are known to intentionally harm women and children. - MY Country Stands with Fascist Regimes. What about Yours?
Let’s normalise talking about the secondary rage and grief you might be feeling seeing your government appease, bow down to, and support fascist regimes - From Iran to Palestine: Beware Those Who Say They Liberate Children by Bombing Schools
Israel has been murdering children in Palestine and Lebanon for decades. Now, it has chosen to murder children – under the guise of regime change – in Iran. - From Cuba to Palestine: Beware Those Who Seek to See Hospitals Run Out of Fuel
What we’re seeing in Cuba is an intensification of imperial violence by those who have been unleashing it on Palestine, too. The parallels here are many, including how the mentality of a coloniser cannot be more on display here. - Have You Witnessed Democratic Mechanisms Being Eroded on Live TV? Here’s An Example
If you couldn’t believe what you were seeing during Pam Bondi’s, the U.S. Attorney General’s testimony in a House Judicial Committee hearing on the Epstein files, here’s how to make sense of it. It’s also why it is terrifying. - From Palestine to The Epstein Files: Will You Demand Justice or Embrace Collective Amnesia?
It is not only the violence by the ones in power that the Epstein files resemble Israel’s destruction of Gaza – it’s about the (potential) collective amnesia, too. - How Fascist Regimes See Growing up, Standing up for People, and Writing Poems as Threats
Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli forces two years ago today – and that is one of the threads of history that I talk about in my essay-like video. It’s about fascism, its victims, the heaviness of witnessing these horrors, and how we can move forward. - On U.S. State Violence: A Continuation, Not a Rupture
The recent murder of Alex Pretti by ICE agents is one painfully clear indication – or, rather, a reminder – that in the U.S, the violence abroad has come back as fascism at home. - After Having Enabled It for Decades, The EU Is Appalled by U.S. Imperialism — Only When It Threatens Its Shores
After having enabled U.S. and Israeli military aggression around the world, notice the EU appeal to international law when the territorial integrity of Denmark is threatened by the U.S.
