Throughout his presentation, Kristian referenced a few of his recent articles:
How Palestine advocates can support Black struggle (June 19, 2020)
Solidarity means insisting on Palestinian right of return (May 14, 2020)
Ex-Mossad agents harass US students, BDS activists (March 9, 2019)
At the beginning of his presentation, Kristian mentioned the action of reparations, the redistribution of wealth, land, and power to peoples oppressed by colonialism (notably Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), noting that the root of the word “reparation” is “repair” as in working to repair pain and damage. At the conclusion of his time with us this morning, Kristian invited us to commit to making a reparation by donating to the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network
