Community Care and Palestine Solidarity Work with Littrell

 Littrell is a singer/songwriter – is a recording artist, scholar – writing a dissertation with social movement leaders about bridging the tension between self-sacrifice and well-being in movement work, a parent – seeking to balance the holding on and releasing necessary for the nurturance of a strong-willed adolescent, and, really, just a person on a beautiful, messy, risky journey seeking to experience and contribute to healing, love and liberation.

On this episode we talk about:

• What is happening in Gaza today
• Palestinian resistance to military occupation and a blockade in Gaza
• What is needed to care for Palestinians in this moment (Call for a Ceasefire)
• How to reduce harm in this moment
• How to take action
• What community care looks like right now
• Littrell's research on self sacrifice and well being in movement building
• How we care for ourselves so we can hold up the line of those in front of us closer to the front
