More than 100 days into President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, we speak with the renowned abolitionist, author and activist Angela Davis, who discusses Gaza, Trump and more.
Davis, who spoke at a Jewish Voice for Peace conference in Baltimore on Thursday, says, “We find ourselves in a very difficult moment, a moment of grief, a moment of witnessing the apartheid and the genocide unfolding in a way that we had never imagined before. But at the same time, we recognize that Palestine has never given up. Palestine will never give up.”
She also addresses the need for resistance against the Trump administration. “Those of us who are standing for justice and for freedom … it’s essential to recognize that we are actually in the majority, that we are on the right side of history, that we should follow the example of the Palestinian people and not give up, not succumb to the assumption that this person was elected, and therefore he and his people get to dictate the direction of history,” says Davis.
