Thank you for tuning in during this NO THANKS colonizers show. We hope this show will inspire you to rethink occupation and colonization.

As bombs drop on Gaza, our hearts go out to Palestine. Tonight we kick things off with sound from a recent community forum that highlights the deep connections between the Asian Pacific Islander and Palestinian struggles and stories. We bring you a few great segments from an event hosted by Buena Vista United Methodist Church in Alameda.
Next, we bring you Marie Choi’s interview with Maia Ramnath, author of Decolonizing Anarchism, An Anti-Authoritariam History of India’s Liberation Struggle.
Finally, DJ Lapu Lapu talks with the “Father of Filipino independent film,” Kidlat Tahimik.
