Were you to boil down into one or two or three words the essence of Gaza and Ukraine - what comes up for you? For me right now the words are "dis-connection" and "billionaire control". What might the antidotes to these two words be? "relationship" and "building citizen power" - come right now to me. We have been controlled by a narrative that breaks apart relationships. Apartheid is a structure that is a metaphor for broken and/or denied relationship. The" immigrant" separates me from him/her. As are the other labels today.

Another phrase that comes to mind for me, Selina, is ‘colonial mindset’ to sum up the situation.
