Guest speaker Tommy sits with Isaac (his partner) and discuss their experience in tenant organizing, and then Isaac shares a story of a young American woman named Rachel Corrie, who became a martyr for Palestine through her activism. They read together her writings, and letters describing the effects of Israeli occupation on Rafah. In 2003 she described the situation in Palestine as a "genocide" and she was not wrong.

Here is where you can read the letters:
