The island is not anywhere close to having recovered from the catastrophe caused by the 2017 Hurricane Maria, not to mention from the horrors and devastation of US colonization since 1898, and Spain before.
To give some background to the impacts of Hurricane Fiona, listen to the following excerpt from the Colectivo Ile statement following Fiona:
“Since Hurricane María in 2017… We have endured insults in our most vulnerable moment, discriminatory policies by FEMA at our time of greatest need, and sleazy contractors and speculators promising solutions that were never delivered. Poverty in the Island has been exacerbated while people are being displaced by gentrifiers disguised as liberals and progressives. Our own colonial government could not even acknowledge the loss of more than 3,000 lives caused by the hurricane and agencies’ inaction, nor did they lead us through any process of national grieving. Our people were left defenceless and without hope that an elected government could detain the waves of corruption that followed.”
My guest today is Maria Reinat-Pumarejo, a long-time feminist, anti-racist, anti-oppression organizer and the Founder of Colectivo Ilé, an organization committed to anti-oppression organizing in Puerto Rico. She also has been my feminist sister in the struggle against US militarism and US bases. Most impressive to me is that her work and organizing are always rooted in her love of life.

<b>Biography</b>
María Reinat-Pumarejo is an organizer and Founder of Colectivo Ilé, an organization committed to anti-oppression organizing in Puerto Rico. She co-developed and is a senior trainer of Cambio Integral's Latino Challenges Toward Racial Justice workshop, and was for almost three decades a trainer with The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond.
An anti-racist educator, organizer and a women’s advocate, María has work with women’s organizations in Puerto Rico and internationally to support and join the leadership of other women of color. For her anti-racism work and social transformation solidarity, as part of 1000 Women for Peace, she was nominated for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize, which was collectively awarded the City of Guernica 2006 Award for Peace and Reconciliation.
She has conceived and coordinated women’s initiatives such as África en mi piel, África en mi ser: si no la llevas en la piel, la llevas en el ser (Africa on my skin, Africa in my soul), an anti-racist leadership process for women in Puerto Rico, el Censo dice que somos blancos, y abuela ¿qué dice? (the Census says we are white and grandma, what does she says?); and the US campaign Don’t be eRACEd by the Census: Black, Brown or Light, Latin@s/Raza just ain’t white, dealing with the changing definition of race in the United States and the negative impact to Latinx people in the US. In 2016 she received the Martin Luther King medal from La Mesa de Diálogo Martin Luther King for her Anti-Racist work.
With a background in education, counseling and history, María is co-author of Arrancando mitos de raíz: guía para la enseñanza antirracista de la herencia africana en Puerto Rico, (Uprooting Myths: A Guide for the Anti-Racist Teaching of Puerto Rico’s African Heritage), a contributing author to several books such as Women Warriors of the Afro-Latina Diaspora, and articles addressing racism and decoloniality.

crucial question posed to the present militarized global security
system: for whom does the military provide security? She is a long-time feminist peace activist
who has analyzed the interplay between sexism and militarism from the
experiences of women in Okinawa. Her work has inspired global feminist
peace movements for structural understanding of violence against women.
Suzuyo helped create Okinawa’s first rape crisis center to provide
hotline and face-to-face counseling to victims of sexual violence, and
in 1995, Suzuyo’s activism led to a large-scale protest by people of
Okinawa against US military bases. She is a founder and co-chair of Okinawa Women Act against Military Violence.<div class="ym-grid"><div class="ym-g66 ym-gl tpw-content"><div class="ym-gbox-right">

During the show’s second half, she opens the KPFA phone lines asking for your reflections and ideas about hooks's work, legacy, and passing and about how we may transform the sadness, frustration, and rage from another year of an seemingly unabating pandemic and deepening inequalities and violence into joy, positive action, and hope for 2022.

During these days, activists round the world draw attention locally,
regionally, and globally to another pandemic, gender-based violence against
women and girls. This campaign ends Friday 10 December, International Human
Rights Day.</span><p></p>

part of the activism, on today’s show, I focus on Palestinian women political prisoners.
The fact of their existence and the violence inflicted on them is not very known,
and rarely seen, in the US and most other places. With the exception of a highly
publicized few like Ahed Tamimi and Rasmea Odeh. </span></p>

indefinitely.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Because they
are categorized as “security detainees” Palestinian people can be arrested, detained
convicted, and imprisoned on numerous allegations in military courts. With no
or inadequate legal representation and due process.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> The prisoners routinely face deplorable and inhumane
conditions, from torture and solitary confinement to lack of health care and
long-term separation from their families. In June 2021, Addameer issued a
report concerning the <a href="https://www.addameer.org/media/4429" target="_blank">violent military raids </a>into prisoners’ cells within prisons.

there is very little news and notice of this aspect of life of the Palestinian
people outside the country. Even less is known and understood about women
prisoners. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Goal of this
two-part series is to reveal the multiple layers of incarceration
itself, the experiences of women prisoners, and the harmful impacts on them, their
families, and wider Palestinian society. We will also discuss the various creative
ways their families and Palestinian people cope and resist.</span></p>

As a member of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_Front_for_the_Liberation_of_Palestine" title="Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine"><span style="color: blue;">Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine</span></a><sup> </sup>she was elected to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Legislative_Council" title="Palestinian Legislative Council"><span style="color: blue;">Palestinian
Legislative Council</span></a> in January
2006 and has continued to serve as an
elected representative ever since. She is also the Palestinian representative
on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Europe" title="Council of Europe"><span style="color: blue;">Council of Europe</span></a>
and currently head of the Prisoners Committee of the PLC. She played a major role in Palestine's

arrested multiple times by the Israeli authorities. Several of these arrests
resulted in administrative detention without any charges being brought. She has
also been charged with "incitement and involvement in terror" by an
Israeli military court. The incitement charge refers to public statements she
made in 2012 in which she criticized the Israeli occupation. The court sentenced her to 15 months in
prison, of which she served 6, before being released after an international
campaign on her behalf. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>

since 2019, she was sentenced by an Israeli military court to two years in
prison after a plea bargain, in which she declared herself guilty of membership
in an organization, the PFLP, which Israel regards as a terrorist group.<sup> </sup>She has gone on record to state that
her plea bargaining is due to the excruciatingly protracted nature of legal
proceedings, lack of faith in Israel's military courts, and the threat, unless
she admits guilt, of serving a 7 year sentence. She was released in September, 2021, but was refused permission to be with her gravely ill daughter and view her body after her death, despite her impending release.<br /></span>

promised last week, in today’s show my guests will discuss US feminists’ role specifically
in Afghanistan and more generally in US foreign policy, which has wreaked havoc
everywhere and materially benefited elites in the US and worldwide. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is lot of coverage now about
Afghanistan, Afghan women, "feminists" supporting invasion, etc., but very little about the role of US-based feminists in opposing US
foreign policy regarding Afghanistan and more generally. I also want to point
out how the crisis in Haiti, another country where US policies over the decades
have resulted in horrific conditions there, has dropped off the news. Not
surprising.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">My guests join me today to engage the following
questions and more: What are/should be US feminists' and women's movements'
roles and responsibilities in dealing with the current humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan
and in addressing US foreign policy more generally? What must we understand
about US foreign policy to be able to be in ethical and meaningful solidarities
with feminists around the world? Our conversation will be both historical and
aspirational.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">

</p><p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">On February
1, the Myanmar military attempted to carry out a coup against the country’s
civilian government. Since then, until now, massive numbers of people, from
across the country and from various ethnicities and classes, have been
protesting, striking, and using <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>other
forms of civil disobedience to resist this attempt. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The Myanmar
Army, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>known as Tatmadaw, has deployed
brutal force to suppress dissent, killing <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/10/myanmar-un-envoy-urges-no-fly-zone-as-army-crackdown-intensifies" target="_blank">over 600 people</a>, at least 46 of them children. In the face
of this violence,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>strong solidarity is emerging between the
various ethnic groups, who have been victimised by the Myanmar military for
decades and make up almost a third of the people in Myanmar, and the Bamar
majority. This solidarity is very significant in a country that still suffers
from the divide and conquer strategy used by the British who colonized Myanmar
in 1824 and imposed ethnic categories and hierarchies. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">One of the distinct features of the growing
democracy movement is the visibility of youth leaders, many of them women. </span>
