Palestinian Solidarity Encampments

KPFA - Hard Knock Radio

“Today on Hard Knock Radio, Davey D brings together a diverse group of students and activists from across the country to discuss the Palestinian Solidarity Encampments. The participants delved into the recent nationwide protests supporting Palestine, highlighting the intense police reactions and the inaccurate media portrayals of the protesters. They also shared their personal experiences with police brutality, the noticeable absence of police during student protests, and the ongoing campaigns for divestment from companies complicit in the Israeli occupation. The conversation concluded with an exploration of the potential role of faith-based institutions, the possibility of creating a third political option, and the importance of self-care for those committed to the long-term struggle for justice.”

Guests included Pastor Cue from UCLA, Melina Abdullah from CSLA, Aboud Ashhab and Gabriela Venegas-Ramirez from Brown University, and Carmen Llanes Pulido, a community organizer from Austin, Texas. They offered insights into the evolving nature of these protests and the challenges they face.
