*Angela Davis calls to unite anti-racist struggles for Israeli Apartheid
Week 2020*

*By Angela Davis*

With our oppressors uniting, it's increasingly clear that all our struggles
for freedom are interconnected, and that no one will be free until we are
all free.

U.S. civil rights leader Angela Davis said in a statement:

It is inspiring to see that during these dire times when fascism and
far-right political parties are ascendant in many countries, consciousness
is growing amongst many, and people and organisations are coming together
to fight against racism and all forms of discrimination. And for those
everywhere struggling against racism and for freedom, the Palestinian
people continue to serve as an inspiration because they have endured and
remained steadfast for so long, refusing to give up and accept permanent
subjugation and injustice.

In Palestine, the US, Arab countries, Latin America and Asia, the people
who are seeking to maintain systems of oppression and racial domination are
sharing ideologies, strategies and weapons. For example, police strategies
have been transnationalized, with US and Israeli police departments
exchanging tactics. And the global prison industrial complex is being
tested in its most extreme forms in Palestine.

Everywhere, activists on the ground are seeing these connections and they
are challenging them. In 2014, during the Ferguson uprising in the US, as
those protests erupted, it was Palestinian activists who were the first to
express solidarity and, as such, helped to develop a global solidarity
movement for Black Lives Matter. Palestinians in turn have taken explicit
inspiration from the US civil rights movement, and the anti-apartheid
movement in South Africa in  developing their BDS movement.

With our oppressors uniting, it is becoming increasingly clear that all our
struggles for freedom are interconnected, and that no one will be free
until we are all free.

Given these realities, the overlap this year between the global annual
Israeli Apartheid Week, and the UN=E2=80=99s annual International Day for t=
he
Elimination of Racism is fitting. It provides an opportunity for
highlighting these connections, and for progresive groups to join forces in
the struggle against racism and for freedom.

If justice is indivisible, it follows that our struggles against injustice
must be united. I wholeheartedly endorse Israeli Apartheid Week 2020 under
the theme United against Racism, and call for groups and individual
worldwide to participate.
