Learn how to support initiatives fighting for the liberation of the land and people in both regions.

This workshop will be led by Hope Ghazala, a licensed social worker, organizer, and facilitator with over 8 years of experience in popular and political education across social justice movements. Hope organizes with Staten Island 4 Palestine and the Diaspora Pa’lante Collective, a mass organization of Boricuas and allies across the diaspora and the archipelago fighting for Borikén independence. Hope is also a trainer at PeoplesHub, an online social justice movement school, where Hope focuses on popular and political education on topics including disability justice and Palestinian liberation.
