69. A Vigil for Gaza

In this episode, we speak with three women, all from the Bay Area, and all who will participate in the upcoming Vigil for Gaza, which will take place in Balmy Alley on Nov. 2nd, during Dia de los Muertos in San Francisco’s Mission District.

In the first segment of this episode, we speak with Lucia Ippolito, who put out an open call to the community to build altares for victims of Gaza. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Yenia Jimenez, a mother, poet, community advocate, and author, who will be building an altar in Balmy Alley, alongside her son, who is half Latino, and Half Palestinian. And our final guest for this episode will be Seham Steyteyieh, aka Susu, a 20 year old full time student at USF and a community organizer who helped coordinate a student walkout on Oct. 25.
