In this workshop, people will learn about the Palestinian's subjugation to israeli methods of surveillance through cameras, AI technology, checkpoints and military searches, seizures and arrests as part of a larger policy of genocide and forced displacement; how that connects to our struggle here as ICE is adopting israeli techniques and technology, and why we should strengthen our solidarity with Palestinians' fight for liberation. My purpose with this is to help my community of 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants to not individualize our struggle and instead look at it from a larger perspective. Individualizing the struggle can also isolate the people being subjected to the oppression, whereas connecting it with other struggles and creating solidarity between communities strengthens us.
