“What we’re witnessing in #Baltimore is called in Arabic “intifada.” A mass popular uprising: throwing stones, resistance against an occupying force, people collectively saying we’re fed up and putting their lives on the line because they know their lives and the lives of their loved ones are at stake
Literally intifada means a shaking off. Shaking off all the collected trauma, collected through our ancestors to this moment. Shaking off grief and rage. Shaking off the boot of the oppressor on our backs.
Intifada Hata Al Nasr, intifada until victory, because we have a duty to win
What we’re a part of is a global uprising. The struggle for black liberation is a struggle for the liberation of all people in the world. The Palestinian intifada, anti-imperial struggles worldwide, depend on the liberation of Black folks in this country….”
