263, Hannah Mermelstein on standing in solidarity with Palestine in Philadelphia and beyond

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from Philadelphia based community organizer, zine maker and international solidarity activist Hannah Mermelstein. Over the past year and a half Hannah has been deeply involved in mobilizing for Palestine at a community based level in Philadelphia around the project Families for Ceasefire Philly. In past years Hannah has played a meaningful role in stitching together Palestine solidarity initiatives around the world, including through participating in human rights delegations in Occupied Palestine around projects like Librarians for Palestine. Learn more about Hannah's work here: www.hannahmermelstein.com The accompanying image is from a zine that Hannah worked on that highlights the collection of Palestinian books from homes seized by the Israeli state in 1948, the zine is called "Overdue Books: Returning Palestine’s “Abandoned Property” of 1948." Read the excellent zine here: librarianswithpalestine.org/wp-content/…AP-zine.pdf This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University.
