Queer Supporters of Palestine at Protest of Israeli Pinkwasher's Presentation, at Museum of Jewish Heritage
Queers For a Liberated Palestine Rally in Brooklyn 12/11/23
[Verse 1]
This year a fast of witness
I long and crave but with this
Long to know what longing's for
(I know this is a time thick with dying)
Remembering temples falling
I watched the wall ascending
(The names and places are erased, replaced)
I watched cities consume cities
(Killing history)
(And yet today my people are mourning)
With each village they're erasing
I'll witness them replacing it
With new walls in new tongues
(An endless, timeless span of tragedy)
We can't see the chance that's there
To build temples everywhere
Not in space but in time
(I know this is a time thick with dying)
[Hook]
We live like we’re always afflicted (I watched the temple fall)
But I’m not, I’m sick (I watched the temple fall)
From the blood all over our hands (The borders of my heart)
How the land soaks it in (Release and come apart)
So the desert can finally bloom with this colonial hate
No heart, no heart could really beat love for this state

"The People’s Bubbie:
An Anti-Zionist Love Story"
As “The People’s Bubbie,” 92-year-old Shatzi Weisberger became an unexpected symbol of resistance. This outspoken Jewish, lesbian, anti-Zionist, lifelong New Yorker embraced her flaws and faced her fears. With her captivating spirit, she forged powerful bonds with young queer activists to unlock a profound love that transformed her final weeks into an extraordinary journey of joy and loss.
Julia is a Brooklyn based artist, editor, and educator working at the intersection of multidisciplinary arts and social justice movement building.
Fivel is a location sound mixer and filmmaker who has lived in NYC for 17 years but still says "wooder" like a good Philadelphian.

Mary Hooks (L) and Lorraine Fontana (R) of Stop Cop City
Tortuguita Lives, the Struggle Continues
Stahimili Mapp is in conversation with two activists in the Atlanta area who will give updates on the Stop Cop City movement. Mary Hooks is a self-defined Black radical lesbian activist, longtime activist with Southerners On New Ground (SONG), the Black Lives Movement, and a spokesperson for the Stop Cop City Coalition. Lorraine Fontana is also a member of SONG and a supporter of Zami Nobla (the National Organization of Black Lesbians on Aging) and a member of the Chris Ducusin Advocacy Collective in Atlanta, who describes herself as a working-class dyke from Queens, NY. .
Both of these women describe current efforts to end the destruction of the forest outside Atlanta in order to erect a facility to train police, firefighters and other law enforcers in the arena of urban control. We will hear updates on the status of the Stop Cop City resisters brought up on conspiracy and terrorism charges, a report on the visit last month of the parents of slain Indigenous nonbinary activist Tortuguita who delivered a message to people gathered at a Stop Cop City demo, and finally the role of queer folk in this movement.
