Barghouti is a cofounder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement - an international call to boycott companies with a stake in Israeli war and occupation until Palestinian demands for decolonization and return are met. In striking parallel to the dynamics of occupation and resource control enacted by the Israeli state against Palestinians, here in "North America"/Turtle Island indigenous peoples are waging an ongoing fight against environmental destruction and land dispossession. SUPER is honored to host the following panelists who will converse with Omar on themes of settler colonialism, war, land theft, racism, incarceration, border imperialism, indigenous resistance, cross-movement international solidarity, and visions for transcendent liberation.
