Today, we hear from a powerful group of guests, discussing the ongoing genocide that Israel is waging on Gaza, and organizing strategies in the bay area and nationally, to stop that violence. These speeches are selections from an event last week, supported by Haymarket Books and led by Critical Resistance, called Abolition and the Liberation of Palestine. It is a crucial discussion on why a Free Palestine is crucial, specifically, for abolitinionists.
