Mutual Aid in Lebanon Today w/ Serge and Abir (E177)

For episode 177, Leila is joined by Serge from Buzuruna Juzuruna, an agro-ecological farm and heirloom seed producer in the Bekka Valley working on food autonomy, and Abir from Hostel Beirut, a worker owned cooperative in the heart of the Lebanese capital committed to social and economic justice for all. We talk about the current situation in Lebanon following the Israeli invasion, the mutual aid initiatives both guests are involved in during the current crisis, and what international solidarity looks like in their context.Support: You can support my work with⁠⁠⁠ ⁠a one-off or monthly donation⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Ko-fiMasterclass on Modern Lebanon:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Registration is now open⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: Subscribe to⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Hauntologies⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media: I’m on⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mastodon⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact: To collaborate, reach out on ⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fire These TimesSocial Media: TFTT is on⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcription: You can help⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Antidote Zine⁠⁠⁠⁠ transcribe TFTT episodes⁠⁠⁠ here⁠⁠⁠Website: All episodes are archived ⁠⁠⁠on the website⁠⁠⁠From The PeripheryTFTT is a proud member of ⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Media Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, which you can support⁠⁠⁠ on Patreon⁠⁠⁠ and follow on⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠.Check out other project wherever you get your podcasts:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Politically Depressed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Syria: The Inconvenient Revolution⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Podcast⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠The Mutual Aid Podcast⁠⁠Episode links: Hostel Beirut Solidarity CallLebanon Solidarity Collective/Buzuruna Juzuruna fundraiser (in French)People to People Initiative The Peoples WantMutual Aid Lebanon (From the Periphery)For more:Follow Leila on Twitter and Mastodon and Bluesky Check out Leila’s blog  Credits:Host: Leila Al-Shami | Guests: Abir & Serge | Music: ⁠⁠⁠Rap and Revenge⁠⁠⁠ | TFTT theme design: ⁠⁠⁠Wenyi Geng⁠⁠⁠ | FTP theme design: ⁠Hisham Rifai⁠ | Sound editor: Ayman Makarem| Team profile pics: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Molly Crabapple⁠⁠⁠⁠ | Episode design: Elia Ayoub | Producers: Leila Al-Shami & Aydın Yıldız
