Adam Vander Tuig, Amir Marshi, Peter Tanaka, Naomi Washington-Leapheart, and Jennifer Bing speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Highlander. Initially after Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began in October 2023, the broad Christian left seemed largely absent and otherwise unprepared. This panel—comprised of students, scholars, clergy, and organizers—explores why, and it discusses how Christian leftists can build more potent and manifold faith-based power as part of the larger coalition fighting for a free Palestine. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.

Dissenters members speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Dissenters. Join Dissenters to hear from young people who recently traveled to Cuba, the Philippines and Guatemala on political delegations. On this panel, they’ll share vibrant pictures of the impacts of US empire across these three distinct geographies, uplift resistance and organizing from indigenous & local communities, and ground us in the responsibilities of those of us who live within the so-called United States. A focus will be on pushing back against internalized US exceptionalism in our movements, and integrating internationalism and anti-militarism into domestic racial, economic and environmental justice work.

Jeff Schuhrke speaks with Aparna Gopalan in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Verso. A conversation about the new book Blue Collar Empire—which recounts the AFL-CIO’s global anticommunist crusade in the late 20th century, shows how it took place in partnership with the US government’s Cold War-era quest to control labor struggles abroad, and explores what this history means for the possibility of international solidarity in the US labor movement today.

Bati Bai Rajak, Farhat Jahan, and Jiya S. Pandya speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. It will be forty years since the night when a Union Carbide (now Dow Chemicals) factory leaked 27 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas into the lungs, soil, and water of Bhopal, India, killing 22,000 people and leaving 500,000 still facing the environmental, health, and economic devastation from this disaster. This panel spotlights these survivors' efforts to build and maintain community resilience for the past four decades, as state and corporate actors abdicated all responsibility, as well as the ongoing struggle to hold Dow Chemicals responsible for the clean up of Bhopal.

Noura Erakat speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. Since the early 20th century, Palestinians have leveled a racial and anti-colonial critique of Zionism. That critique crystallized vividly during the apex of Third World Revolt particularly in the UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 condemning Zionism as a form of racism and racial discrimination. While the Oslo Agreement offered Israel a lifeline to protect its Zionist settler sovereignty, the State incrementally and steadily dismantled the prospect of a Palestinian state. In 2020, several legacy human rights organizations echoed the Palestinian critique of Israel following Israel’s passage of the Nation-State Law declaring that only Jews have the right to self-determination in Palestine making clear that Israel intended to be the only sovereign between the River and the Sea. This history and analysis seemed to fall by the wayside after October 7th, which lifted Gaza outside of geographical and political context and suggested that history began in 2023. This lecture will discuss this historical development with an eye on the Palestinian intellectual and political tradition in order to offer commentary on the limits of international law in this moment.
