Rafiki: The Solidarity Across Borders

Rafiki, a passionate activist, is a member of the All African People's Revolutionary Party, the African Parties for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau in Cape Verde, and the Coordinating Committee of the Black Alliance for Peace. Advocating against U.S. militarism, Zionism, and its impact on Palestine, he was present during the Land Day protest located in DC on March 30, 2024.

In his fight against colonialism and imperialism, he correlates the intersectionality of what is faced by Palestinians and Africans. Rafiki said: "The struggle of the Palestinians and the struggle of the Africans is one. They're fighting the same settler-colonial imperialist enterprise that African people are engaged in a fight with."

For Rafiki, more than a need, it's essential to be unified in fights against the same opponents. He said:  "The only way to defeat them is to come together and unite and work in coordination".

Rafiki testified of how Palestinian and African youth, in their activism, refreshed his way of advocating for his causes: "I began to work with them and they have given me so much energy and so much life and to see them come together, to see them organize like they've been doing, to see them gain an understanding and knowledge over just a short period of time, to me, has been amazing."

Rafiki emphasizes that the best way of action is collective actions, especially to help marginalized communities. Solidarity knows no border for him, with the power of collaboration and his way of confronting systematic injustices, Rafiki is a monumental activist who gives hope for a future equitable justice world.

“We're all union people, only we don't seem to remember it. This land is one big union, and us children were taught very early that united we stand and divided we fall, and that's just what we girls are demanding—the right to be united.” ― Theresa Serber Malkiel, November 1909 from ‘ Diary of a Shirtwaist Striker’.

In over a hundred years of International Women’s Day celebrations, no country has achieved gender equality. And we should all be pissed about it.

"A Generational Fight"

Abortion rights have been a century long fight. With several people of power constantly trying to ban a part of women's healthcare, many women have felt angered, powerless- but ready to fight back.

On Land Day, thousands descend upon Belfast to demand an end to occupation and an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the West Bank. Under chants of “what do we do when Lebanon / Syria / Yemen / Iraq / Palestine is under attack? Stand up fight back”, speakers spoke of the need to humanise Palestinians: not to see them as invincible heroes, but people like you and me who are grieving and feeling pain.
