Manage episode 380912354 series 3457232
In this special LIVE recorded episode of Islam & Earth, three guests: Nazish Qureshi (Muslim Climate Watch); Kadjahtou Balde (Faithfully Sustainable); and Tasnim Mellouli (Climate Justice Activist) join for a very critical conversation on climate justice and Palestinian justice issues.
These three guests provide deep insights on how the Palestinian genocide is deeply entrenched in a colonial occupation and how this has impacted Palestinian lands for decades. They provide practical tips for how climate activists can educate themselves, how to take meaningful action and also how we, who are watching the atrocities of this genocide take place, can stay grounded and find ease through such difficult times.
Finally, as they share many different tips on how to engage and stand up against this genocide, they remind us of the importance of prayers at this time.
