Help Plant Roots of Resilience in Palestine. In Palestine, land is livelihood, legacy, and identity. Today, families face immense barriers to farming their land, threatening not just food security but generational survival.  I interviewed Arsalan Iftikhar on ep 142 and he is a senior advisor for the Penny Appeal USA campaign to establish 10 fully fenced, irrigated Freedom Farms in the West Bank, planting 2,500 olive trees and short-term crops to restore dignity, income, and long-term sustainability for Palestinian families.

Steal This Story, Please! is a new award-winning documentary that follows the life and work of independent journalist Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! It traces more than three decades of her reporting from war zones, protest movements, and political flashpoints around the world. The film shows how Goodman built one of the most influential independent news platforms in the U.S., amplifying voices often excluded from mainstream media while confronting government pressure, corporate media consolidation, and attacks on press freedom. The film shows why independent journalism is both essential and increasingly urgent to the health of a functioning democracy. Watch the trailer.

Cara Laban shares how coming out as queer while living abroad helped her find community and belonging across cultures.  She gives tips for LGBTQIA+ travelers and then opens up about her journey toward anti-Zionism, navigating male-dominated digital nomad spaces, attending feminist protests, and encountering police violence. She tells stories from Italy, the Dominican Republic, the Galapagos Islands, Carnival in Rio and seeing pink dolphins in the Amazon. Finally, she shares lessons from Jewish history about our collective responsibility to confront the rise of fascism in the U.S. and beyond. Listen on your favorite platform.
