Immigrant Stories: How did you come to US?

Celebrating the Immigrant in all of US--even you, yes you

Defining Muslim Feminist Politics through Indigenous Solidarity Activism

typeless:

“It was later, when I (who did not grow up in the West) began to read up on Canadian settler-colonial history and contemporary routinized exercise of colonial violence against Indigenous people, that I began to understand how this labeling 
of Muslim bodies as terrorists was the legacy of a white supremacist settler-colonial governmentality that continues to label Indigenous peoples of the land as terrorists, and then targets them for disappearance and death. 
As I reflected on this, my politics became guided by this question: How could I live on this land that did not ethically belong to me, and talk about violence directed at my body, and at my people, without situating that violence and my work for social justice within the history of a nation-state literally founded on the dead bodies and erased nations of Indigenous peoples?”
OMA AWESOME
