The Fire These Times

168/ Building Transnational Solidarity w/ Chkoun? Collective


Listen Later

For episode 168, Elia and Leila are joined by the Chkoun? Collective, a collective of people from "North Africa" resisting anti-Black racism and its intersections with migration and the fight for freedom of movement in the region. We discussed their statement "Solidarities are not a given, they need to be built" and how it relates to our experiences covering Syria, Israel-Palestine, and Lebanon.


The Fire These Times is a proud member of the From The Periphery (FTP) media collective. You can support FTP on Patreon and get exclusive episodes from all FTP podcasts, an invitation to our monthly hangout as well as our future book club, and more perks.
