Shakaboona is joined by Nora of La La Lil Jidar and the Philly Palestine Coalition for a conversation situating the ongoing genocide in Palestine historically, in the context of movements for justice across the globe. Nora and Shakaboona relate the theft of land and destruction of culture in Palestine to racist and settler-colonialist violence in Philadelphia and beyond. They emphasize the importance of solidarity and the power of narratives in shaping our collective future.
