Rising for Our Motherlands | From the Sea | EP 7
Today, on Nakba Day, we’re honored to share a very special interview with you.<br /><br />Nakba Day commemorates the mass displacement of Palestinians that began on May 15, 1948. “Nakba,” the Arabic word for “catastrophe,” refers to the forced expulsion of more than 750,000 Palestinians and the destruction and depopulation of over 500 Palestinian villages, towns, and cities by Zionist militias and, later, the Israeli army.<br /><br />In this episode, Maisa co-hosts with We Rise apprentice Hannah in an interview with Saif Abu Keshek a member of the steering committee for the Global Sumud Flotilla. This interview was recorded at the International People's Tribunal on Palestine in Barcelona, where <a href="https://internationalsolidarity.org/international-peoples-tribunal-on-palestine-to-convene-in-barcelona-charging-genocide-and-ecocide/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the People's Tribunal charged the settler colonial state of Israel of genocide and ecocide in November 2025</a>. Together, we discuss how people's tribunals can serve as both a tool and strategy in the Palestine Liberation movement.<br /><br />We also speak about the central role of Palestinian political prisoners in the struggle for liberation. Political prisoners are not only symbols of resistance — they are our compass, grounding the movement in steadfastness, sacrifice, and collective responsibility.<br /><br />Earlier this year, on April 30, Saif — a Spanish national of Palestinian origin — and Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila were abducted while sailing alongside dozens of activists as part of the latest humanitarian mission organized by the Global Sumud Flotilla. Saif and Thiago were imprisoned in Israel for 10 days under brutal conditions, where they endured torture and took part in a hunger strike.<br /><br />The Global Sumud Flotilla continues to sale to break the siege on Gaza.<a href="https://globalsumudflotilla.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><br /><a href="https://globalsumudflotilla.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GlobalSumudFlotilla.org</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/globalsumudflotilla/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@GlobalSumudFlotilla</a><br /><br />We Rise will be releasing exclusive interviews with the People's Tribunal organizers and people who shared live testimony in Barcelona, stay tuned in to We Rise Production for episode release. <br /><a href="https://internationalsolidarity.org/tribunal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">InternationalSolidarity.org/tribunal</a><b></b><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/internationalpeoplesfront/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>@</b>InternationalPeoplesFront</a><br /><br />This episode features music by DAM, Abu Arab, Ahmad Kaabour and sounds from the the International People's Tribunal on Palestine in Barcelona.<br />

Rising for Our Motherlands | Even In Our Dreams, Part 1 | EP 6
In this episode, we dive into a powerful conversation about what it means to live in diaspora. As people whose homelands are shaped by ongoing struggle and displacement, we reflect on how living away from our ancestral lands informs our identities, relationships, and sense of belonging.<br /><br />Lubna & Tina illuminate our histories of migration and displacement from Falasteen & the islands known as The Philippines. They share how these legacies of displacement continue to shape their communities in the diaspora today.<br /><br />Lubna Morrar is poet, hairstylist and makeup artist. She is a Palestinian community organizer and activist from the Bay Area.<br /><br />Tina Shuaf-Bahar is a Filipino community organizing, singer and culture worker who has long been involved in migrant rights organizing, connecting struggles in her homeland to those faced by workers in the Bay Area.<br /><br />Together we explore how re-membering our languages, food and cultural practices are antidotes to resist pressures like assimilation and generational separation from our lands. We also reflect on how embodying dignity becomes a powerful act of resistance and resilience.<br /><br />Special thanks to Kendall of We Rise and KPFA for hosting us as we recorded our conversation<br /><br />Music from El Fanoun, Mass Bass, Ruby Ibarra, Ana Tijoux featuring Shadia Mansour & Nitty Scott<br />

Rising for Our Motherlands | Walking with Sumud: An Oakland Palestine Mural Tour | EP 5
In this episode of <i>Rising For Our Motherlands</i>, we take listeners on a guided tour of two of Oakland’s most powerful and politically significant murals: the Oakland to Palestine Solidarity Mural (completed in 2014) and the SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation Mural at Uptown Body and Fender (completed in 2024).<br /><br /><b>Oakland to Palestine Solidarity Mural</b><br />In the first part of the episode, we walk listeners through the Oakland to Palestine Solidarity Mural, a monumental public artwork that centers the image of the tree as a global symbol of life, resilience, and resistance.<br />Spanning 157 feet wide and 22 feet tall, the mural is composed of nine individual panels, each painted by a different artist or collective. Through distinct interpretations of the tree motif, the mural draws connections between shared histories of colonization, environmental exploitation, the internal exile of Indigenous peoples, and ongoing struggles for justice.<br />Together, these panels form a stunning public tribute to the human spirit and its unassailable right to thrive in the face of political oppression and injustice—wherever it occurs in the world.<br /><br /><b>SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation Mural</b><br />Later in the episode, we are joined by Yasmeen, a Bay Area community member involved in the SUMUD mural project, and Al Juthoor, a local Bay Area Dabke group. Yasmeen shares insights into the production process, artistic vision, and political motivations behind the mural.<br />The SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation Mural is a collaborative project between artists and activists in the U.S. and Palestine. It explores and confronts the deep interconnections between systems of incarceration, colonization, and repression in both places, while affirming the vitality of the Palestinian Liberation Movement. The mural serves both as a memorial to this historical moment and as a living expression of collective struggle—locally and globally.<br /><br />In both the U.S. and Palestine, art is often a political act. This mural stands as a testament to the imagination, brilliance, and creativity of resistance, even under conditions of imprisonment and occupation. As Zionist forces enact ongoing death and destruction in Gaza and Palestine, creating this mural together as a community affirms a shared commitment to resistance, solidarity, and liberation.<br /><br />Sumud is an Arabic word meaning <i>the steadfast will to survive, endure, and remain connected to the land.</i><br /><br />Featured music & audio clips in this episode: Mohammed Assaf, voices of Emory Douglas, Keven Cooper and Um Eyad, various national & international news segments, and chants from students, local Bay Area activists, and organizers.<br /><i></i><br /><i>Graphic includes a portrait of Um Eyad by Art Forces lead artist Susan Greene, in collaboration with Peps 357 (Spoon) and Asha Sudra (Kufiyeh). </i> Podcast art created by nicole gervacio<i>.</i><br /><i></i><br /><i>Learn more: </i><br />Oakland to Palestine Mural: <a href="https://artforces.org/projects/murals/usa/oakland-palestine-solidarity-mural/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://artforces.org/projects/murals/usa/oakland-palestine-solidarity-mural/</a><br />Sumud Mural: <a href="https://www.sumudmuraloakland.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SumudMuralOakland.org</a>
