On today’s Palestine Post, we’ll speak with Khury Petersen-Smith, Michael Ratner Middle East Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he researches U.S. empire, borders, and migration.
We’ll also speak with Chris Smalls, labor organizer known for his role in leading Amazon worker organization in Staten Island. He is a co-founder and the former president of the Amazon Labor Union. Chris was also a member of the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza. He is joined by Hazami Barmada, a social entrepreneur and strategy consultant for the United Nations and the founder and owner of The Barmada Group, a Washington, DC-based boutique consulting firm. Together they are calling on the US U.S. labor movement to recognize genocide in Gaza and end arms shipments.
They are promoting a national protest and day of action at the AFL-CIO in Washington DC to demand that there be a labor boycott of Israel to stop the genocide and that the AFL-CIO formally oppose the genocide and support the campaign to hold Israel accountable for the war crimes and genocide.
