Shownotes

Hi y’all! πŸ‘‹πŸ½ As the U.S. and Israel unleash their vengeance in the Middle East, I wanted to return to our 1st ever podcast episode from 2023. In my conversation with communications expert and organizer, Nadia Rahman, we discuss the interconnected issues in Israel and Palestine, colonial history in the region, and our role in the U.S. Watch today's Intro.

Before we jump into the podcast, I want to acknowledge the emotions and grief surrounding the region. At the roots of change agency, we lead with heart and empathy in a path towards liberation for all including anyone who is oppressed in this world. I understand one podcast cannot fully express the deep, painful history in the region, the anti-semitism that has surged since Trump’s election, and the Islamaphobia that has only become more visible again.

Browse our archives for Part 2 where we finish our conversation about what this means for the 2024 election. Our predictions were pretty darn accurate!

In the Episode

  1. Colonial history in the Middle East & ties to Turtle Island
  2. Nadia's lived experience of visiting Israel and Gaza in 2022
  3. What has shifted for her as an organizer in this moment
  4. How people in the U.S. can take action
  5. What October 7 means for the 2024 election
