I'm Beatrice Adler Bolton, and today I'm here with my guests who are three of the folks involved with a project called workshops for

Gaza. First, we have B. B, welcome to the deaf panel. Hello. And next is Rosa. Rosa, welcome to the

death panel. Hi. Thank you for having us. And then we have Elle. Welcome to the death panel, Elle.

Hi. Thanks for having us. Thank you all so much for joining me today. I'm a big fan of this project. But before we start talking about it, I just want to foreground that this conversation is taking place days before the two-year anniversary of Operation Al-AXA Flood and the most recent escalation of genocide in Gaza, which followed. This marks two years of ongoing escalated bombardment, blockade,

starvation, and forced displacement, which have devastated every aspect of life for Palestinians in Gaza

from the destruction of homes, hospitals, and schools, to the systematic murder of entire

families and neighborhoods. Yet it's important always to note that this violence cannot be seen as a

kind of aberration or a sudden eruption. It is the continuation of decades of settler colonialism,

siege, and systemic deprivation imposed on Gaza by the Zionist entities settler colonial regime.

Now, the ongoing eliminatory devastation is made possible not only by the Zionist

settler state, but also by the steady pipeline of weapons, funding, and political cover that's

provided by the United States and other imperial powers. The genocide is sustained by these global

circuits of money, arms, and legitimacy, And that means that those of us in the Imperial

Corps are not mere bystanders, but active participants with an urgent responsibility to act.

Now, in moments like these, people often ask, you know, what can they do? How can they possibly

make any kind of difference from thousands of miles away with very little power.

And too often, I think the answers collapse into either kind of pure symbolism or a kind of helpless despair.
