From Turtle Island to Palestine w/ Ramzy Baroud and Janene Yazzie

On this episode of CounterPunch Radio, we are excited to present a panel discussion featuring Ramzy Baroud and Janene Yazzie, which took place last July at Socialism 2025 in Chicago. Ramzy and Janene discuss the connections between Indigenous struggles worldwide and how the fight for a free Palestine is a fight for justice on all Native lands. The panel was sponsored by Haymarket Books, Pilsen Community Books and CounterPunch.

Ramzy Baroud is a frequent contributor to CounterPunch, author and Editor of The Palestine Chronicle. He is the author of six books. His forthcoming book, ‘Before the Flood,’ will be published by Seven Stories Press. His other books include ‘Our Vision for Liberation’, ‘My Father was a Freedom Fighter’ and ‘The Last Earth’. Baroud is a Non-resident Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Islam and Global Affairs (CIGA).

Janene Yazzie is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation. She has over 12 years of experience as a community organizer and human rights advocate deeply rooted in local community issues. Beginning from her community Tsé si’ áni, in Diné Bikéyah, she has worked on the intersections of climate change, water security, food security, energy development, and nation building with indigenous communities and indigenous-led organizations in the US, Canada and Latin America.
