As we write this email, South Africa is presenting its case for genocide committed by Israel. The significance of South Africa being the state who invoked the genocide convention is worth noting. The people of South Africa know all too well what the horrors of apartheid and genocide look like in real life. By filing their case against Israel in the International Court of Justice, they have connected the African struggle for liberation to the Palestinian struggle in the most tangible way possible. This is how we win.

This week we will be joined by Alexis Judeh, a Palestinian and Mexican organizer who graduated from DePaul with a degree in Political Science. She has been organizing around Palestine and adjacent liberation movements for the past 8 years and will discuss with us the importance of connecting movement struggles for liberation. In 2014, the struggle for liberation for the Black community in the United States and Palestinians under attack from Israel found such connection. Today, that solidarity remains strong and has been a critical part of the recent movement to end the genocide in Gaza.
