Refusing Genocide, from Palestine to Pandemic w/ Rasha Abdulhadi (DP x S24) (09/26/24) Sep 27, 2024

Show notes

Beatrice speaks with Rasha Abdulhadi about how, as we near 11 months and 100+ years of genocidal settler colonial violence in Palestine, it is vital to remain steadfast in our demands for Palestinian liberation. We discuss turning away from despair towards patience and boldness in our actions, why our demands must push for and beyond “ceasefire,” and draw connections between settler colonialism here and in Palestine; inviting us all to become more skillful in keeping each other alive. Transcript forthcoming. This episode was recorded live at the 2024 Socialism Conference in Chicago in early September. We collaborated with conference organizers to host five discussions there over labor day weekend. Recordings and transcripts of those sessions will be released over the coming weeks.

Skrmetti, a case being heard next month that could have a dramatic impact on young people’s access to medical transition.
