Our Advisory Board member @agentlazero.bsky.social reminds CBC NB that anti-colonial politics isn't just about reorganizing the deck chairs on the Titanic: it's the whole, continuing structure that has to be changed.

A poster featuring a photo of Mostafa Henaway, and the following info for the event where he is the featured speaker "The Emergence and Legacy of Palestine Solidarity: Revisiting Quebec's Histories of Anti-Imperialist Struggle in the Face of Ongoing Genocide" Tuesday, March 10, 5-7PM Tilley 102 9 Macaulay Lane This talk examines the trajectories of Palestine solidarity in Quebec and Canada within a broader international context. It traces key moments in the development of solidarity politics—from labour and left support for Palestine in Quebec during the 1970s, including the framing of Palestine within a wider anti-imperialist tradition, to the emergence of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and the consolidation of an anti-apartheid analytical framework in 2004. It will examine how solidarity with Palestine has functioned—and must continue to function—as a central terrain for articulating a wider anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-colonial politics. Mostafa Henaway is an organizer and writer, and active in Palestine Solidarity and anti-war movements since 2000. He is the author of Essential Work, Disposable Workers: Migration, Capitalism and Class (2023) and a PhD Candidate at Concordia University.
Mark your calendars: scholar and Palestine solidarity organizer @mhenaway.bsky.social will soon be coming to speak at UNB:
"The Emergence and Legacy of Palestine Solidarity: Revisiting Quebec’s Histories of Anti-Imperialist Struggle in the Face of Ongoing Genocide."
