Solidarity in times of genocide - lessons from Palestine


 

As great acts of solidarity - and simply being human - are being forcefully stopped and peaceful activists are being detained, we are launching our third "𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲" episode of the People vs Inequality Podcast.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐰𝐚𝐫, 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧?

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 1,5 (𝐨𝐫 77) 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐞?

No easy questions, but we are exploring them in this episode with three amazing women and invite you to join!

Rana Al Qawasmi is a Palestinian nutritionist and public health specialist, Lyla Adwan-Kamara is a Palestinian-Irish disability rights activist and leader, and Michaela Rafferty is an Irish youth worker and activist with a longstanding solidarity bond with Palestine.

The three of them will reflect on their experiences with solidarity both within Palestine and internationally, and what we can all do to strengthen our solidarity practice.

From local to international realities, from finding a moral compass to addressing fear, and from small scale action to systems change – this is an opportunity to learn and reflect in the face of massive injustice and bravery.

So grab a coffee or tea and listen in on the conversation!

Food justice: A quick recap, update and call to action

Image
As we are about to take a care break, we share some updates, reflections and a call for support. And invite you to stay tuned for more People vs Inequality & food justice! These were only some of the headlines in the news as we kicked off our food justice series earlier this year. The food price and hunger crisis is real. So are the inequality and climate crisis that are so closely linked.  The good news is this is increasingly recognized - at least in some circles. A recent report by the High Level Panel on Food and Nutrition Security found that it "is essential to understand that inequalities in FSN and its #foodsystems drivers are underpinned by deeper systemic drivers" and that these need to be addressed. "Systemic drivers frequently act to widen pre-existing inequalities as the most vulnerable are least able to cope or adapt." says lead author B. Shankar.  The bad news is we still see a lot of business as usual in spaces of power. The UN Food Systems Summ...

Episode 5: Climate justice NOW - what's next for the movements?

Image
  It is time to wrap up our climate justice series, but not before we hear from another two amazing women who have a long history of climate activism - from the inside and the outside. In this last episode we look back on what we have heard and look forward on what's next for the movements. We ask where are we at with climate justice and what action is most needed today to turn the tide. Get ready to be challenged by these two powerhouses: Tasneem Essop is the director of CAN International , one of the biggest global climate networks with over 1500 organizations. She started out as an anti-apartheid activist and served as Provincial Minister in South Africa. She was the head of climate policy and strategy at WWF and served as Head of Delegation at the Paris climate negotiations. She is the Founding Director of the Energy Democracy Initiative in South Africa and a Commissioner in the National Planning Committee. Above all, she is a sharp analyst that spoke of the link bet...

Season two: How can we get urgent climate action that is also just?

Image
Yes! We are excited to kick off the second series of the People vs Inequality Podcast . This time we focus on climate justice. As the climate crisis is accelerating and inequalities are on the rise we ask: how can we get urgent climate action that is also just? As always, we hear from inspiring changemakers about their work and stories. We dive into the different approaches they take, the choices they make and the obstacles they face. But also their hopes and dreams in making real change happen. We explore lessons and strategic questions for how to turn the tide. Should we be taking to the streets or lobby the halls of power? And how to come together across movements to make sure all voices are heard? From communities in Kenya facing hunger and drought to Indigenous women seeing their forests cut down. From UK oil workers losing their jobs to young people across the globe worrying about their futures. Climate change is affecting everybody, but not in the same way. Those that have contr...
