Danielle Holland and Puja Datta are bringing the fire this week on STPT, reminding us that people power is our only leverage. Now is the collective moment where we must organize and collaborate to resist capitalist exploitation, fight against corporate gaslighting, and center our actions upon international solidarity.
Then, author, organizer and campaigner, Harsha Walia (she/her) joins the show. Harsha Walia is the award-winning author of Undoing Border Imperialism (2013). Trained in the law, she is a community organizer and campaigner in migrant justice, anti-capitalist, feminist, and anti-imperialist movements, including No One Is Illegal and Women's Memorial March Committee. Her newest book, Border & Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, a and the Rise of Racist Nationalism, is an urgent, global account of the migration crisis and the function of borders across political, social, cultural, and economic systems.
Walia and hosts dive into a conversation guided by her research and work in Border & Rule. From capitalist globalization and green colonialism to mass global dispossession generated by climate change, they travel through the logics and politics of borders that displace, immobilize, expel, exploit and criminalize people. Harsha exposes global state violence and apartheid, and calls for the creation of a world that is in right relations.
This week, get your bags of flour ready. Here, no one is illegal. No one is exploitable. No one is expendable. We are all in, all together.
