Black Feminists Are Standing Up For Palestinians — No Matter The Cost
Brea Baker is a writer and organizer. In this op-ed, she shares her perspective on the history and current movement of Black feminist support for Palestine.
Poet Aja Monet, singers Kehlani and Amerie, and activist Tamika Mallory are just some of the prominent Black women who have lent their talent and platforms to mourning the more than 8,000 Palestinian people who’ve been killed in the last few weeks and who are calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent more death in Gaza, and in Israel. My timeline, too, has been filled with the impassioned support for the #freePalestine movement from Black women of all walks of life: world travelers, teachers, community organizers, writers, and artists.
