Mental health is a political issue, but we often discuss it as a personal one. How is the current mental health crisis connected to capitalism, racism, and other social issues? In a different world, how might we transform the ways that we think about mental health, diagnosis, and treatment? This session will situate mental health as an urgent political concern that demands deeper understanding from the left.

Even as Israel extends its genocidal war, the struggle for Palestinian liberation continues with legendary sumud, resilience, and resistance. Their fight is all of our fight. To dismantle Israel’s regime of apartheid and settler colonialism, to defeat Trumpism and the rising wave of fascism worldwide will require uniting our many struggles in broad-tent alliances along the lines of the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions.

This workshop will offer an intergenerational conversation and reflection on international solidarity.
