We’re grateful for the space to be in dialogue - and to witness important contributions.
We especially appreciated talks by Vanessa M. Leon-Sulca on colonial continuities, and Moudou Baqui on movement-building and sustainability in Detroit.
These conversations matter.

Several talks referenced historical colonial violence—but few addressed ongoing realities.
The silence around current displacement, repression, and state violence—including in Palestine—was notable.
You can’t confront historical trauma while ignoring the present.

After more than a century of colonialism, authoritarianism, and violence, trauma has fragmented our social fabric.
Healing shouldn't be a privilege —it’s a precondition for strategy, movement-building, and any sustainable path to liberation.

Authoritarian states use disinformation to create division, erode trust, and hinder intersectional solidarity. These tactics, from justifying genocide in Palestine to reshaping opinions on normalising relations with Israel and Assad, silence resistance and distort narratives.
