    This week on Talk World Radio, we’re talking about a successful lawsuit and impactful campus activism against genocide. Daniela Colombi is with Students for Justice in Palestine, an organization at the University of Maryland that views itself as part of the international movement for a free Palestine, working for collective liberation, justice, and equality. Daniela was delegated by the board to work on outreach and to testify on behalf of the organization in court. On August 6, civil rights groups Palestine Legal and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced a historic $100,000 settlement agreement for their clients, University of Maryland Students for Justice in Palestine (UMD SJP), paid by the University of Maryland.

    The Wind Cries Freedom: An Oral History of the Next American Revolution, by Michael Albert

    THE WIND CRIES FREEDOM

    The Wind Cries Freedom, the new book from Z co-founder Michael Albert, is a sweeping oral history of a future American revolution.

    Through thirty interconnected chapters, it draws out the strategies, failures, turning points, and hard-won wisdom of a movement that called itself the Revolutionary Participatory Society. These are not the polished memoirs of politicians: they are the unfiltered accounts of people who organized in neighborhoods, hospitals, universities, stadiums, courthouses, and places of worship, and kept a shared vision alive through cynicism and exhaustion.

    The result is speculative political fiction that reads like history: messy, human, and quietly hopeful in the way that only real experience and long thought can produce.

    Get your copy and peruse more features on the book’s website below.

    “Read it, argue with it, but don’t look away. The future it recalls is one we must still fight to deserve.”

    Yanis Varoufakis

    “The most unusual and intriguing combination of prophecy, manifesto, and movement building manual that I have ever encountered.”

    Bill Fletcher Junior

    “This work fills a huge gap in our social movement literature.”

    Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.

    It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.

    More than 100,000 people read Z every month, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. It takes fewer than 1 in 100 of them to fund all of it: 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone, and build what comes next.
