Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“Solidarity Has To Have Teeth”: Palestine, Abolition, and Building Struggle Across Borders — with Noura & F12
Q: What is protective presence, and how does it function in practice?
Protective presence is described as a buffer that helps reduce violence and create space for local communities to organize, while acknowledging its limits and the broader context of ongoing violence and state repression.
“Solidarity Has To Have Teeth”: Palestine, Abolition, and Building Struggle Across Borders — with Noura & F12
Q: What does it mean to travel as a decolonial organizer, and how can that inform work here on Turtle Island?
Travel is framed as nurturing broader understanding of land struggles, decolonization, and mutual aid, with emphasis on connecting Palestine's struggle to local Indigenous histories, and building educational and organizational programs that do not replicate imperial power structures.
“Solidarity Has To Have Teeth”: Palestine, Abolition, and Building Struggle Across Borders — with Noura & F12
Q: What traps do activists face when traveling for solidarity work, and how can they avoid them?
The conversation warns against white saviorism and urges humility, decolonial self-critique, and building movements that center local communities and mutual aid while preserving the integrity and safety of those communities.
“Solidarity Has To Have Teeth”: Palestine, Abolition, and Building Struggle Across Borders — with Noura & F12
Q: How did you first get involved with the Palestinian liberation movement, and how has that shaped your broader organizing?
Both guests describe early exposure through personal experiences with incarceration and community organizing, linking it to a deepened commitment to protective presence in Palestine and to cross-border solidarity that centers care, healing, and collective action rather than romanticized activism.
Learning Economics As Anarchist W/ Brooke From Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness
Q: How do heterodox economics and participatory models fit into your activism?
She emphasizes that these models offer tangible ways to organize and govern resources collectively, and sees them as essential tools for moving toward more democratic and sustainable economic systems, even within existing political structures.
