I always leave these sessions feeling re-energized & inspired. Yesterday's Groundswell session was on power mapping, & we were fortunate to have a special guest from the Montreal Autonomous Tenants' Union speak about a recent victory. More on their campaign here: montrealgazette.com/news/landlor...
I'm truly living my dream teaching load this semester: TA for two rad courses w/ inspiring profs (Capitalism & Its Rebels; Advocating Environmental & Climate Justice) & co-facilitating Groundswell, a 6-week grassroots campaigning course for organizers at my coaching job.

Every person or child martyred is a universe extinguished. Every martyr was someone’s entire world. The heaviness of these moments are unbearable and incomprehensible. For the genocide in Gaza to continue while the world watches, feels like the end of the world as we know it.

A year after killing his granddaughter Reem, the soul of his soul, Israel killed Khaled Nabhan this morning in a shelling attack on Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
He spent the last year caring for children and animals in Gaza, volunteering and serving wherever he was needed.
Shattered.
