The Solidarity Index
From Palestine and Sudan to Duwamish and Lenape lands – we are a mass movement of people interconnected not only in our struggle against injustice, but in celebration of our collective power to demand and create change.
Join host Zahyr Lauren – aka The Artist L. Haz – in conversation with movement leaders and trailblazing artists who use their cultural power to confront erasure and censorship with creativity and connection.
Produced by and centering the voices of women, queer, trans, and gender-expansive artists, The Solidarity Index is guided by the truth that no one of us can be free until everybody is free.
