Dima Khalidi on Democracy Now! with NYU law student Ryna Workman
/Palestine Legal director Dima Khalidi joined Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! for a live interview this morning alongside our brilliant client, NYU law student Ryna Workman.
Ryna was removed as president of the school’s Student Bar Association and lost a job offer from corporate law firm Winston & Strawn after they wrote a newsletter expressing solidarity with Palestinians.
This has not stopped Ryna from speaking out, and using their platform to call for a ceasefire and an immediate end to Israel’s genocidal bombardment of Palestinians in Gaza.
Dima notes, “Ryna is not alone - people are seeing more and more clearly what is happening here. This is about 75+ years of a settler colonial state that has dispossessed an entire people of their land, dignity, and humanity. We have to speak up, we have to protect people who are under attack - that is our responsibility.”
