Ep 63: Power-With With Gaza at Your Child's School with Nora Lester Murad

“I think we're all called to something really difficult right now. And I do believe that we can all heed that call and step up to the challenge, but we have not done so yet.” - Nora Lester Murad

 
 

Episode Summary:

Today’s episode invites you to take direct action and practice power-with at our children’s schools through a campaign called Drop the ADL from Schools.

Full episode transcript here.

 

Episode Outline

  • What Nora would like us to know about Jewish and Palestinian solidarity.

  • Why do we divest from the ADL?

  • What’s the Drop the ADL from Schools campaign?

  • Why parents, students, and educators are the most powerful change agents in this campaign?

  • A moment of compassion: It’s hard to be conscious while surviving and trying to go against the status quo. Yet, changing our minds and practices when we are aware is a part of our advocacy. 

  • Honoring our rage and fear before putting them into direct action.

  • Strategic ways parents can engage teachers and principals in this campaign and advocate for critical consciousness for all students. 

  • When fear arises, ask “am I unsafe or uncomfortable?”
