And I'm going to Welcome everybody. My name is Mada Kishwani and I am with A-Rach, the Arab Resource and

Organizing Center.

On behalf of A-R-R-The Red Nation and Center for Political Education, I'd like to welcome you all

to another edition of our Friday Night Forum.

Friday Night Forums, it's a collaboration

between A-R-C-P-E and the Red Nation.

It's a series of conversations on critical topics

that offer us lessons for international solidarity.

Understanding that the COVID pandemic is global and so our response to it must also be global.

By providing anti-imperialist perspectives from around the world, we are hoping to offer our left

movements here in the United States ways to be in joint struggles with those facing

the brunt of US Empire,

with an eye towards anti-colonial and anti-racist struggles

right here on Turtle Island.

Be sure to join us next week,

as we'll be discussing Palestine

and the blockade on Gaza

with Usamata Nus, Nura Erakat, and Zadatas.

Today we'll be live streaming our webinar on the Facebook pages of all the partner organizations.

So for those who were not able to register,

please encourage folks to check out the live streams

for A-R-C-P and the Red Nation.
