This episode is dedicated to the Free Palestine movement. This Summer we’ve seen an increase in awareness of how the right wing settler colonialists Israeli government continue to rule by genocide and apartheid.

In this episode Rabya interviews Rida, who has long been a supporter of the movement and of BDS - Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions. She retells her awakening moment, and we contextualise the conversation against the backdrop of continuing to decolonise and fight oppressive systems.  We hope you feel embolden to add your voice to this much needed movement and find the information useful in your ongoing education.

Here are the links we spoke about:
