FSJP Erikson hosts Hope and Solidarity with Dr. Eman Abdelhadi and Dr. David Stovall

“Hope is a discipline.” - Mariame Kaba
On January 20, 2025 - the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Holiday - Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine (FSJP) Erikson invited two amazing Chicago organizers and scholars to discuss their experiences resisting genocide and imagining better futures. That day also happened to be the day the 47th president of the U.S. was inaugurated, coasting into office on a tide of malevolence, awash in the detritus of ineptitude and fecklessness.
We hosted this gathering on that day in the spirit of hopeful resistance, knowing that our solidarity does not begin or end with any government or administration, but rather with our connections and commitments to each other. I hope you find the conversation as inspiring as I did.
Thanks again to Eman and David for their generous and inspiring offerings! Link to YouTube video below:
