My story is on the front page of today's paper! This is a look into a Muslim cemetery that was threatened by the Excelsior Fire a few weeks ago, and more broadly about caretaking of religious spaces for remembering the deceased. https://t.co/UdE1S5Ns4e https://t.co/imwdSSLoJD

“I think it’s special to us. It’s a part of who you are to fight for the liberation of Palestine.” I spoke with a Jordanian protest organizer and college students about how the momentum of American campus protests affected protests for Gaza in Jordan. https://t.co/k76UHEmeSO
