  ABANDON NOBODY: Organizing in Lebanon, Mutual Aid & Survival Under Attack

  Aug 15, 20261h 46m

  In this episode of The Dugout, we speak with Lebanese anarchists about organizing and surviving through war, occupation, sectarianism, displacement, and economic crisis. We discuss what brought them to anarchism, how they understand Lebanon’s history, and why the experiences of South Lebanon and Beirut can look so different.We talk about the realities of Israel’s attacks, the conditions facing migrant and kafala workers, and the everyday needs people are confronting as communities are displaced and homes are destroyed. At the center of the conversation is a simple principle: abandon nobody.What does solidarity look like when people are already overwhelmed? How do you provide relief without becoming another NGO? And how can anarchists build relationships, share skills, and meet people’s needs without taking control away from the communities they are trying to support?Chapters00:47 intro6:35 what motivated you to get into organizing13:11 how do you get to anarchism and what does anarchism mean to you?17:08 how would you introduce Lebanon to our listeners24:33 How is south Lebanon’s history been shaped differently?33:02 how is Beirut or the north different?36:51 how has the day to day changed in recent attacks by Israel41:05 how have condition changed for Migrant or Kafala workers?43:15 what are people in Lebanon worried about right now and what are people doing to address those needs?48:38 what are some misconception you see online about Lebanon?58:28 how do you fight against disenfranchisement1:05:36 what lessons or structures from previous uprising are at play today?1:09:39 details on a Lebanese anarchist organizing project1:17:52 How are Lebanese anarchist working on relief efforts without becoming like typical NGO’s1:24:55 What are conversation of healing or justice sounding like right now?1:29:43 What solidarity efforts have you seen to be useful for your efforts1:41:23 Last thoughts---------------------------------------------Stay connected with The Dugout!

  Building A Cadre For Community Defense w/ Atlas Defense

  Aug 8, 20261h 32mS3

  What does it mean to defend your community when the state has already decided it won't? Today we sit down with Alex, Manuel, and Solaris of Atlas Defense, a Twin Cities community defense collective. We get into what community defense actually means, how they built a cadre with no hierarchy, and how Indigenous sovereignty and death work shape the way they think about safety. We also talk about how their organizing shifted once ICE occupied the Twin Cities, and what it takes to keep each other safe under repression.

  Cal & Isaac of The Minnesota 15 on ICE Watch & The Federal Indictment

  Aug 1, 202654 minS3

  Guests:Cal & Isaac, two of the Minnesota 15 defendantsIn this episode of The Dugout, we sit down with Cal and Isaac, two of the fifteen people indicted following Operation Metro Surge, the federal immigration occupation of the Twin Cities. We trace their political histories, from labor organizing and anti-cult work to anti-fascist organizing, and get a firsthand account of the ICE occupation of Minneapolis-St. Paul: the killing of Renee Goode, the general strike of January 23rd, and the federal raids that led to their arrest and indictment. We discuss the specific repression they're facing (including a pre-dawn SWAT raid): months-long surveillance, and federal charges that they argue amount to "thought crimes" and what kind of support actually matters right now.Show notes on Patreon (free): https://www.patreon.com/TheDugoutPod/posts/interview-with-165218458 ------------------------------ Calls for SupportLegal defense fundraiser is active on Chuffed, funds go toward legal costs and material support for people who have lost jobs due to the prosecution: https://chuffed.org/project/186570-minnesota-15-legal-defense-fund Minnesota 15 Defense Page: https://minnesota15.org/ Minnesota 15 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Minnesota.15 ----------------------------------Where To Learn MoreUnicorn Riot: https://unicornriot.ninja/2026/government-says-terabytes-of-signal-chats-are-central-to-the-case-against-minnesota-15/ 'Minnesota 15' Defendants Cal & Ike Speak Out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gek4xLNgi_8 -----------------------------------Episode Chapters00:00 Intro 01:12 Audio disclaimer + support links 02:31 "What was young you like?" 03:26 "What brought you to the Twin Cities?"11:41 "What has the last year been like organizing through the ICE surge?"27:07 "What have you learned about state violence and solidarity?"32:41 "Can you explain what a Starlight Tour is?"41:22 "How did you learn about the indictment?"51:43 "Where can people find reliable info and support?"53:45 Outro

Noura traces her own path from growing up in a Palestinian diaspora family to traveling to Palestine in 2003, organizing against Urban Shield, and spending decades trying to understand how militarism, surveillance, policing, and colonialism connect across borders.What does it mean to travel to Palestine without romanticizing struggle? What is “protective presence,” and what can international organizers actually offer communities living under occupation? How does the occupation control not only land and movement, but people's relationship to time, planning, and the future itself?--------------------------------------About the GuestsNoura is an Oakland-based Palestinian American organizer.
