25 years ago today, Balbir Singh Sodhi was murdered in the first act of post-9/11 hate. That crisis was met with collective action by AMEMSA communities, a model of care that we honor in "An Imprint Left in the Dust," the third volume of our political hope zine series: tinyurl.com/politicalhope3

Proud to play a small part in releasing a Zine on the urgency of political hope. What gives you hope? A selection of artists and creators offer us some hope to grasp onto as we continue to collectively lift ourselves up.

Our next "Power Shift" episode explores a fundamental tension between resource holders' technical approach to humanitarian response and local organizations' close-range exposure to the politics of crises. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts. www.thenewhumanitarian.org/podcasts/202...

On our new podcast #powershift, Michael Köhler admits that “in the parts of the humanitarian sector that I know, so far there has not been a discussion about power.” Until now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Power Shift | Do we want to relinquish power, or not?

A question this political moment calls us to answer is how we are going to share and distribute power. We explore this in "Power Shift" from @newhumanitarian.bsky.social + @cftchange.bsky.social. The 2nd episode is here! (And where you get your podcasts.) www.thenewhumanitarian.org/podcasts/202...
