I don’t need to tell you Mother Earth is indicating to take better care of her or that the the gap between super rich and majority is widening by the day. Im sure you know that war and aggression is still raging in many parts of the globe or at this moment just short of a billion people live in starvation. Im guessing you’ve heard by now, scientists and thought leaders warning us to make big drastic change less we face a point of no return whilst our lawmakers trudge us to a red line in the dirt with no meaningful progress.
But what if WE THE PEOPLE could affect this change for ourselves? What if we could finally find unity in our diversity and organise to create new systems, representing something that is truly for the all?
A podcast embodying mycelium, threading together wisdom, movements, practices, technology and ideas, old and new, to help in weaving an emergent world centring Earth and Humanity.

Ep3 - The Free Palestine Movement and Why the End of Settler-Colonial Oppression is the Only Way to Peace w/ Subhi Awad
On the third episode of Mycelial, we speak with Subhi Awad who is a Palestinian refugee, human rights activist and head organiser at Northern Rivers Friends of Palestine.
In this episode we speak about the tragedy that is the acute ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and International Law and why it must be protected at all costs. We also debunk some propaganda myths of the Settler-colonial project: Zionism and unpack nuances surrounding armed resistance throughout space and time.
Subhi says ‘'The root cause of violence is settler-colonial supremacy and oppression. Once we give all people equal human rights, we will have peace’'.
We also talk about the Free Palestine movement which is the largest sustained global protest movement that the world has ever seen, our power in western privilege to affect change for the whole world and the new initiative by Northern Rivers Friends of Palestine called 'We Vote for Palestine' that informs Australian voters where their local, state and federal MPs stand on matters around Palestine, putting the power back in the hands of the Australian people to either reward or punish those in government depending on their stance. Also, helping to get MPs into power that would affect Palestine through the sanctioning of Israeli state and more.

This podcast is broadcast from the First Nation ancestral sacred lands of Bundjalung in so called Australia. I would like to pay my respects to the Elders, past, present and emerging, and any indigenous Elders listening in. I’d also like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded in this country. Always was, always will be aboriginal land.
