For this episode we're doing something new…
We're calling it The Surge Series: a podcast-to-podcast act of solidarity.

The definition of surge is "a sudden, powerful forward or upward movement, especially by a crowd or by a natural force such as the waves or tide." And that is what we're trying to create here, by lifting up other radical podcasts we admire – a surge of solidarity as we share communities and continue building together.

In our first Surge Series event, we have the honor of sharing a conversation between NDN Collective's President, CEO, and host of their podcast LANDBACK For The People – Nick Tilsen, and his guests Demetrius Johnson, Kiley Guy and Jennifer Marley from The Red Nation.

This episode was taped one year ago but remains more relevant than ever, as the US sponsored genocide in Gaza reaches horrific lows and we brace for open fascism from the incoming administration.

Nick, Demetrius, Kiley and Jennifer talk about how it's impossible to understand America's genocidal partnership with Israel without understanding Indigenous people and the Land Back movement here in the so-called US. They reflect on what they've learned through solidarity delegations to Indigenous lands and Palestine, Venezuela and around the world. And they explore how the power of their ancestors flows through their actions today.
