The history of settler colonialism is deeply entangled with the roots of fascism. In both the US and Israel, this connection is rooted in the shared ideologies of racial supremacy, the violent dispossession of Indigenous peoples, and the insatiable desire for land and expansion. This teach-in focuses on getting to the roots of fascism through the context of the Palestinian liberation movement. We will explore the history of settler colonialism and the roots of fascism in the US and Palestine. We ask ourselves: how can we resist on stolen land?
This panel discussion will be hybrid, with in-person participants asked to test ahead of time and wear masks. Please register for the event location and remote link.
This workshop, with author Omar Zahzah and VT community organizer Mica, will introduce the growing problem of Big Tech’s entanglement with fascist/authoritarian governments, particularly in the U.S. and Israel. We will start with a broad overview of the current events and consequences of this collusion, especially as it relates to the surveillance and persecution of activists working for Palestinian liberation. What are the ultimate goals of these techno-fascist players? What tools do they use to spy on and censor us? How does AI fit into this picture? And what precautions can we take to protect ourselves and our communities as we take action both online and in the streets?
Is fear of antisemitism just a right-wing ploy to cover up Israeli apartheid & genocide? Join Jewish Voice for Peace of VT/NH and Southern Vermont for Palestine to learn about how Zionism co-opted the idea of antisemitism, and how that co-optation also distracts us from a very real antisemitism that movements for liberation need to understand and take seriously. Learn concrete strategies for including real antisemitism in our analyses, opening wider space for Jews in the movement without ceding an inch to Zionism.
This event will be hybrid, with in-person participants asked to test ahead of time and wear masks. Please register to receive the exact location in downtown Brattleboro.
