This conversation about the violence of settler colonialism in Palestine & the possibilities of Indigenous solidarity globally must anchored in the material reality of Indigenous sovereignty here. We pay our respects to the First Nations of all the lands from which we will learn, listen & engage, acknowledging their Elders, warriors and knowledge-keepers, past and present. Their sovereignty over these lands has never been ceded.
