Thursday Breakfast

Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Anti-Zionist Jewish author and transgender educator Nevo Zisin spoke with us about organising amongst members of the Jewish community in so-called Australia in solidarity with Palestine against Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. Groups including Loud Jew Collective, Jews Against Fascism, Jews Against the Occupation and Tzedek Collective as well as Jewish comrades in Mparntwe/Alice Springs have been engaged in solidarity actions across the country putting their bodies on the line to demand an end to colonial violence against Palestinians and to fight alongside them for liberation. Listeners, whether Jewish or not, are invited to join Jews Against Fascism and Loud Jew Collective at a gathering tonight at Parliament Gardens from 6PM calling again for an end to the genocide of Palestinians and an immediate ceasefire.// Mohamed Semra, Founder & CEO of Endeavour Youth Australia (EYA), talks about the current crisis in Sudan where over 5 million people have been displaced, and the diaspora impacts in his communities. Mohamed has campaigned and advocated on issues such as climate change, racial equality and the importance of having decision makers that represent and reflect the people that they are serving. A former local council candidate, Mohamed was able to bring many community concerns to the surface of the political debate. He is also the Vice-chair at Melbourne Sudanese Youth. Mohamed was a state finalist for the 2023 Young Australian of the Year and received Liberty Victoria's Young Voltaire Human Rights Award for his advocacy for young people and vulnerable communities.// Emma Bacon, founder and executive director of Sweltering Cities, joined us to discuss the campaign to win heatwave safe homes for renters in Australia and to tell us about tonight's panel discussion about heat stress in rental homes, which Priya will be speaking on. Sweltering Cities is a grassroots campaigning organisation working with communities in some of Australia's hottest suburbs to fight for more liveable, equitable and sustainable cities. Find out more about tonight's panel event, which will be held at Trades Hall from 6-7:30PM, here.// Dr Sue Wareham, President of the Medical Association for the Prevention of War, speaks with us about the health and medical system impacts of the occupation, genocide, and ethnic cleansing of occupied Gaza. MAPW is a professional not-for-profit organisation that works to promote peace and disarmament, aiming to reduce the physical and psychological impact, as well as environmental effects of occupation and war throughout the world.// Songs//Ramadan - R3D (Prod.
