Weekly Roundup - 06/03/24

This week: We are publishing June Jordan’s 1993 tribute to Audre Lorde, reflecting on their joint struggle in the ’60s student protests, with an introduction by Alexis Pauline Gumbs.

Four years on from the police killing of George Floyd—and the beginning of the Minneapolis uprising—we are sharing two pieces from the archive: a dispatch by managing editor Nathan Goldman and culture editor Claire Schwartz from the first week of protest in the Twin Cities, and Hannah Black’s essay on the history and potential of Black–Palestinian solidarity.

Before you go: For an upcoming article, we’re gathering stories from people who have left their jobs or memberships at Jewish organizations—schools, synagogues, arts organizations, etc.—over political differences since October 7th.
