Yaffa As is a trans Palestinian author, culture worker, organizer, and artist. Their work lives at the intersection of disability, immigration, queerness, transness, Palestine, and Muslimness.
Their focus on direct action and community care is incredibly inspiring, and over the past year alone, they have helped redistribute over $500,000 to queer and trans communities impacted by genocide.
They have written several books, host the BCSD podcast, and always remind us to imagine and build the utopia we all deserve.
Our conversation is an infusion of hope, which feels aligned with - and necessary for - the current moment. Enjoy Part 1.
PS Yaffa is offering an 8-week session called Organizing to a Living Utopia, built around their book Letters From a Living Utopia...details here!
