show moreWelcome to Part 1 of 2 of this live recording from our Crosspollination community block party series. This event took place on June 8th, 2024. This episode features our opening prayer* with Dr. Uzo Nwankpa, & the beginning of our speakers panel, featuring the brilliant hearts & minds of:
Sarah O'Neal, Oakland-based poet & organizer
Lubna Morrar, Palestinian Feminist Collective
Ant Lorenzo, Liyang Network
Mansi, ASATA (Alliance of South Asians Taking Action)
Jesse Strauss, IJAN (International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network)
Mira Stern, JVP Bay Area & Educator
*for the opening prayer, we invite you to gather a sprig of rosemary if you're able. if not & you have access to another plant or special object, we encourage you to get it so you can follow Uzo's guidance as you listen
What we get into throughout these two episodes:
How do we take care of us? What practices sustain us in these challenging times?What wisdoms are we drawing from to strengthen each other & our movements? How are we engaging in a diversity of tactics? For many of us, as we show up for each other here in Huchiun, we are also caring for our communities in our motherlands. We know all land is connected, all waters are connected. Like seeds, we know the power of diaspora, the potency of biodiversity to nourish & create liberatory ecosystems, never forgetting where we come from. From Huchiun to Palestine, from the Philippines to Mexico, we honor our interconnectedness across borders.
Gratitude to We Rise Advisor, teaching artist & theater worker Tierra Allen for MCing this event.
