Across Palestine, the Philippines, Sudan, Abya Yala and Turtle Island, people-led struggles against Rracial capitalist oppression assert that ecological justice cannot be separated from Indigenous and workers’ land defense, the dismantling of prisons and borders, anti-imperialist resistance, and decolonial visions of liberation. In each of these geographies, land is not only a territory but kin — and its liberation is bound to the liberation of the people who care for it. Grassroots community movements have long resisted the intertwined systems of ecological extraction and carceral control, insisting that true justice requires organizing, sovereignty, and reparations.
In this time of accelerated fascisms, mass displacement, and the naked brutality of settler colonialism(s), we invite organizers deeply rooted in diverse geographies and struggles to come together and discuss the system that we are all materially complicit in and oppressed by. Exploring histories and strategies from the so-called Global South to the heart of empire – the “belly of the beast” – we invite you to this conversation strengthening the internationalist, intergenerational fight to free the people and free the land.
This assembly unfolds in the context of Unsettled Earth, a cross-disciplinary project commissioned by Spore Initiative and curated by Joud Al Tamimi and Lama El Khatib. Rooted in collaborations with grassroots agrarian initiatives and collectives in Palestine organizing around defense of land, communal autonomy, and ecological recovery, Unsettled Earth explores practices and infrastructures that construct relations of land and life anew amid ongoing settler-colonial violence and ecological catastrophe.
