Organizing to a Living Utopia Training

⁠Leah Instagram

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.

Danny Park is an organizer, author, and founding worker member of Skid Row Coffee, a social enterprise pop-up coffeehouse and third space. Danny is featured in the documentary Liquor Store Dreams, a film by friend of the show So Yun Um. He is rooted in his community through organizations such as Korean Resource Center and Creating Justice LA.

I am so moved by Danny's work, presence, and perspective on all things. He is the embodiment of community, humanity, and service.

As fellow diasporic Koreans, it felt significant and potent that we spoke during 추석 - Chuseok - the Korean mid-autumn harvest festival. May our conversation be seeds of abundance, compassion, and liberation for all.
