This week, Theo explores how struggles of the unhoused are intersected with Palestinians fighting for freedom while being ethnically cleansed. He catches up with reclaimer and past guest Martha Escuerdo with @reclaiminghomes, then speaks with student organizers in protest encampments at USC, demanding divestment from Israel and acknowledging the displacement universities do locally. 


Also, a memorial for Jessica ‘Queen’ Mendez.

Theo interviews Meg Stone, author of Don't Fight Back: And 10 Other Myths About Crime, Personal Safety, and Gender-Based Violence about how the unhoused and other marginalized people are encouraged not to defend themselves, and are frequently presented as aggressors themselves. In the field, Theo shares the findings of Los Angeles's Mutual Aid Research Collective in their new report on the unhoused community's experiences with the LA fires.
