Podcasts about alaa

This week, I'm speaking with the brilliant Ibtisam Azem—novelist, journalist, and storyteller—about her powerful and thought-provoking book, The Book of Disappearance.Set across 1948 Palestine, in Jaffa and also Tel Aviv, this novel asks a haunting question: what if all the Palestinians suddenly disappeared? Through the intertwining narratives of Alaa, a young Palestinian man who vanishes without a trace, and Ariel, an Israeli, liberal Zionist journalist who finds Alaa's diaries, the novel explores themes of memory, identity, and erasure. It is both a deeply personal story and a profound political meditation on history, belonging, and loss.In this conversation, we delve into the layers of metaphor and meaning in The Book of Disappearance, the historical and political realities that shape the narrative, and the ongoing situation in Palestine. We also reflect on storytelling as resistance, the role of literature in preserving memory, and the weight of silence in both personal and collective histories.This is a powerful and necessary discussion, and I hope it sparks reflection and conversation for you as well.--I hope you loved listening to this episode and found things that will stay with you. I'd love to hear from you, so please do reach out on social media and don't forget to like, subscribe and leave a review as it can really help. If you're feeling extra generous, please consider buying me a "coffee" so I can keep putting great conversations like this out into the world:https://ko-fi.com/readwithsamiaSupport the show

We've done quite a bit of content over the last few years about ideas to use the space we have in out banks. I think it's a fascinating discussion because the ideas are wide ranging and have a HUGE amount of opportunity. I met Alaa and got to know Maptician's work and I like the way he approaches this topic...managing leases. I thought it spoke to bankers and the way he frames the discussion around flex time/hybrid/wfh is interesting.

In this episode, we will learn from Dr. Erica Herrera, OTD, OTR/L, CHT & Dr. Alaa Abou-Arab, OTD, OTR/L. Co-Authors of Occupational Identity. Dr. Erica Herrera is an occupational therapist who specializes in hand therapy as a certified hand therapist. She completed her undergraduate work at California State Polytechnic University of Pomona in the field of Biological Sciences. She further went on to pursue her master's degree from Loma Linda University and her occupational therapy doctorate at Rocky Mountain University of Health Promotions. Coming from humble beginnings, she has always had a passion for serving humanity through community service ventures, statewide as well as missionary work abroad. Places she has been honored to serve included an orphanage in Haiti to make adaptive equipment and upper extremity orthotics for children as well as an orphanage in Morocco, to work with the Arab and Italian therapists on proper positioning of children with arthrogryposis, to name a couple. When not abroad, she loves to devise her own volunteer projects for the community such as Turkey trotting to raise money for families during the pandemic as well as gathering donations for Christmas gifts for women and children victimized by domestic violence and substance abuse issues. Being a part of her church family has always been a priority, along with the strong foundation her faith provides. Continuously trying to lead by example, Dr. Herrera believes in a healthy lifestyle that includes active participation in nutrition, mental wellness, and physical health. With her eagerness to learn about and experience new cultures, languages, music, foods, and sports activities, Dr. Herrera can truly say that every day is an exciting gift from God. Through the skills learned as an occupational therapist, Dr. Herrera believes that we are more than a body of parts; but are uniquely and wonderfully made, to share our gifts, talents, and skills with our fellow man. Dr. Alaa Abou-Arab is co-founder of kNOwBiaS, a long-time activist rooted in anti-war, anti-oppression, and anti-racism. He was born and raised in a small town in Ohio by my immigrant Lebanese parents. He received his occupational therapy training in Philadelphia, PA, and later obtained his Occupational Therapy Doctorate from Temple University. He received a Teaching in Higher Education Certificate and his research involved exploring racial bias in the field of occupational therapy. His personal and professional experiences have given him a unique and genuine expertise in the intersections of race, health, culture, and justice. Partnering with Alaa could mean that you are better able to address racism, bias, and oppression in your institution, and facilitate powerful discussions that truly embrace justice for all and can ultimately change and save lives.Contact & ResourcesAlaa - IG: @alaa.abouarab, linked in, website: knowbias.net. email: alaa@knowbias.net.Erica - johnsoerica@gmail.com, facebook: Erica V.

Timing is everything, it is said, and so it was either ironic or fateful that Maptician, developed as a hoteling platform to help law firms and businesses manage office space, launched in 2019, just before the pandemic and period in which offices once bustling with people turned into downtown ghost towns.  But the company quickly adapted, says its CEO Alaa Pasha, expanding its platform to help law firms manage the new normal of hybrid offices and return to work, and it has continued to evolve to become an all-in-one platform for managing in-office needs and helping firms better plan and use their office space. Pasha, who is our guest on this episode, says that, in his view, the company's real focus is not space, but people, and helping law firms and businesses understand how to optimize their spaces for the people who work in them today, and how to plan their spaces for the years ahead.  Side note: The recording of this conversation came about somewhat serendipitously, when host Bob Ambrogi was scheduled to meet with Pasha for a briefing during the Legalweek conference in January. When Ambrogi showed up at Maptician's booth, the company's publicist offered to record the conversation, and this is the result. Thanks to Maptician for allowing us to share it through this podcast.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

In particular, today's episode offers us even more insight into how the resolution came about, the steps taken by those who opposed it to shut it down, and why ALAA members felt it was so vital to pass the resolution.    Guests: Sophia Gurulé, Staff Attorney and ALAA Member, Bronx Defenders Pooja Patel, Staff Attorney and ALAA Member, CAMBA legal services    Resources: ALAA 2325 Resolution Calling for a Ceasefire in Gaza, an End to the Israeli Occupation of Palestine, and Support for Workers' Political Speech https://www.alaa.org/media-releases/resolution-calling-for-a-ceasefire-in-gaza-an-end-to-the-israeli-occupation-of-palestine-and-support-for-workers-political-speech Bronx Defenders Union Statement https://drive.google.com/file/d/15Hzyy_ufSJ9h8GjiYdg4eRKdGIUyikRE/view A Statement by Jewish Members of the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys-UAW Local 2325 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MJDXr9nANDCtcV76fxYNwNsxNbru3MYu5hLkCC3KrLY/edit New York Legal Aid Society Response https://legalaidnyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Statement-on-Resolution-from-ALAA-UAW-Local-2325.pdf Bronx Defenders Response https://www.bronxdefenders.org/the-bronx-defenders-response-to-its-unions-october-20-statement/ News Coverage of the Resolution https://theintercept.com/2023/11/17/public-defender-gaza-legal-aid-bronx-defenders/ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/association-legal-aid-attorneys-public-defenders-palestinian-israel-resolution_n_655d2541e4b0c91d8278efcd https://freespeechproject.georgetown.edu/tracker-entries/legal-aid-lawyers-approve-pro-palestinian-resolution-after-federal-judge-dissolves-state-court-order-preventing-vote/ https://nypost.com/2023/12/19/metro/legal-aid-union-approves-pro-hamas-antisemitic-resolution-calling-for-boycott-of-apartheid-jewish-state-critics-say/ https://www.nysun.com/article/congress-to-probe-legal-union-over-anti-israel-resolution-opposed-by-nearly-a-third-of-its-members https://nypost.com/2023/11/16/metro/legal-aid-society-denounces-unions-antisemitic-resolution/ https://inthesetimes.com/article/palestine-resolution-unions-court-blocked https://www.thefp.com/p/alaa-legal-aid-attorneys-antisemitism-congress https://edworkforce.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=410256  https://www.nyclu.org/en/press-releases/congressional-subpoena-over-pro-palestinian-speech-violates-free-speech-alleges  ALAA 2325 History of Anti War Votes and Comments https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/1999/03/26/history-of-the-association-of-legal-aid-attorneys-uaw-local-2325/ https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/2003/04/14/alaa-antiwar-vote/ https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/2009-09-15-urgent-appeal-to-alaa-members-defend-free-speech-at-legal-aid/ https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/2014/07/29/2014-07-29-updated-signers-173-of-mass-free-speech-grievance/ https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/2023/12/19/adopted-resolution-calling-for-a-ceasefire-in-gaza-an-end-to-the-israeli-occupation-of-palestine-and-support-for-workers-political-speech-association-of-legal-aid-attorneys-united-auto-w/ https://labornotes.org/blogs/2021/08/bottom-labor-solidarity-palestine-growing https://laborforpalestine.net/2022/07/26/press-release-uaw-2325-association-of-legal-aid-attorneys-votes-to-divest-from-israel-bonds/ https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vQzS8V0UkBAdiBRbaSasIvKuu45SjEuQKwXMxdMO92DZBn7QNhF2nWbKZI6ALAYoZfFkqpckIt1QMdW/pub https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/10/26/sf-public-defender-staff-in-solidarity-with-palestine/ https://therealnews.com/ny-court-blocks-union-from-voting-on-gaza-ceasefire-palestine-resolution-uaw-legal-aid https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/11/26/digest-of-select-statements-and-positions-on-matters-of-public-concern-by-the-association-of-legal-aid-attorneys-uaw-2325/ https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/12/06/uaw-labor-for-palestine-rank-and-file-welcomes-our-leaderships-pro-ceasefire-announcement-demands-that-the-international-uaw-endorse-palestinian-trade-union-call-for-boycott-divestment-and/ https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/12/15/statement-against-genocide-alameda-county-public-defenders-chapter-ifpte-local-21/ https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/12/20/even-in-the-face-of-management-interference-and-an-illegal-restraining-order-alaa-uaw-2325-membership-has-overwhelmingly-passed-apro-ceasefire-anti-occupation-resolution-uaw-2325-labor-for-palestin/ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/public-defender-union-cease-fire-resolution_n_65832a11e4b03e698a11c6d7   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN  

Today, Hunter is joined by Michael Letwin, former President of ALAA 2325 and longtime Public Defender at the New York Legal Aid Society. Today's episode is part one of the two-part coverage of the ALAA 2325 Ceasefire in Gaza resolution. To understand the resolution fully requires us to fully understand the patterns, practices, and history of ALAA 2325 when it comes to speaking about international events. With this context in mind, hopefully those asking why ALAA 2325 would choose to issue a ceasefire resolution can understand how that is directly in line with their organizational ethics. Finally, Hunter makes his pitch for why Public Defender organizations should be speaking out about international affairs.     Guests: Michael Letwin, Former President ALAA 2325 and long time Public Defender   Resources: ALAA 2325 Resolution Calling for a Ceasefire in Gaza, an End to the Israeli Occupation of Palestine, and Support for Workers' Political Speech https://www.alaa.org/media-releases/resolution-calling-for-a-ceasefire-in-gaza-an-end-to-the-israeli-occupation-of-palestine-and-support-for-workers-political-speech Bronx Defenders Union Statement https://drive.google.com/file/d/15Hzyy_ufSJ9h8GjiYdg4eRKdGIUyikRE/view A Statement by Jewish Members of the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys-UAW Local 2325 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MJDXr9nANDCtcV76fxYNwNsxNbru3MYu5hLkCC3KrLY/edit New York Legal Aid Society Response https://legalaidnyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Statement-on-Resolution-from-ALAA-UAW-Local-2325.pdf Bronx Defenders Response https://www.bronxdefenders.org/the-bronx-defenders-response-to-its-unions-october-20-statement/ News Coverage of the Resolution https://theintercept.com/2023/11/17/public-defender-gaza-legal-aid-bronx-defenders/ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/association-legal-aid-attorneys-public-defenders-palestinian-israel-resolution_n_655d2541e4b0c91d8278efcd https://freespeechproject.georgetown.edu/tracker-entries/legal-aid-lawyers-approve-pro-palestinian-resolution-after-federal-judge-dissolves-state-court-order-preventing-vote/ https://nypost.com/2023/12/19/metro/legal-aid-union-approves-pro-hamas-antisemitic-resolution-calling-for-boycott-of-apartheid-jewish-state-critics-say/ https://www.nysun.com/article/congress-to-probe-legal-union-over-anti-israel-resolution-opposed-by-nearly-a-third-of-its-members https://nypost.com/2023/11/16/metro/legal-aid-society-denounces-unions-antisemitic-resolution/ https://inthesetimes.com/article/palestine-resolution-unions-court-blocked https://www.thefp.com/p/alaa-legal-aid-attorneys-antisemitism-congress https://edworkforce.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=410256  https://www.nyclu.org/en/press-releases/congressional-subpoena-over-pro-palestinian-speech-violates-free-speech-alleges  ALAA 2325 History of Anti War Votes and Comments https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/1999/03/26/history-of-the-association-of-legal-aid-attorneys-uaw-local-2325/ https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/2003/04/14/alaa-antiwar-vote/ https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/2009-09-15-urgent-appeal-to-alaa-members-defend-free-speech-at-legal-aid/ https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/2014/07/29/2014-07-29-updated-signers-173-of-mass-free-speech-grievance/ https://alaa2325.wordpress.com/2023/12/19/adopted-resolution-calling-for-a-ceasefire-in-gaza-an-end-to-the-israeli-occupation-of-palestine-and-support-for-workers-political-speech-association-of-legal-aid-attorneys-united-auto-w/ https://labornotes.org/blogs/2021/08/bottom-labor-solidarity-palestine-growing https://laborforpalestine.net/2022/07/26/press-release-uaw-2325-association-of-legal-aid-attorneys-votes-to-divest-from-israel-bonds/ https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vQzS8V0UkBAdiBRbaSasIvKuu45SjEuQKwXMxdMO92DZBn7QNhF2nWbKZI6ALAYoZfFkqpckIt1QMdW/pub https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/10/26/sf-public-defender-staff-in-solidarity-with-palestine/ https://therealnews.com/ny-court-blocks-union-from-voting-on-gaza-ceasefire-palestine-resolution-uaw-legal-aid https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/11/26/digest-of-select-statements-and-positions-on-matters-of-public-concern-by-the-association-of-legal-aid-attorneys-uaw-2325/ https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/12/06/uaw-labor-for-palestine-rank-and-file-welcomes-our-leaderships-pro-ceasefire-announcement-demands-that-the-international-uaw-endorse-palestinian-trade-union-call-for-boycott-divestment-and/ https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/12/15/statement-against-genocide-alameda-county-public-defenders-chapter-ifpte-local-21/ https://laborforpalestine.net/2023/12/20/even-in-the-face-of-management-interference-and-an-illegal-restraining-order-alaa-uaw-2325-membership-has-overwhelmingly-passed-apro-ceasefire-anti-occupation-resolution-uaw-2325-labor-for-palestin/ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/public-defender-union-cease-fire-resolution_n_65832a11e4b03e698a11c6d7   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN  

Au Proche-Orient, depuis le 7 octobre, les voix qui prônent la coexistence entre Israéliens et Palestiniens sont de plus en plus rares. Mais une association caritative fait office d'exception. « Road to Recovery » – la route de la guérison en français – regroupe des Israéliens qui se portent volontaires pour conduire des Palestiniens de Cisjordanie qui ont besoin de se faire soigner vers les hôpitaux. Après cinq mois d'une guerre meurtrière, le programme continue d'exister, avec toutes ses difficultés. De notre correspondante à Jérusalem,Il est à peine 4 heures du matin et déjà, il y a de l'animation dans la maison familiale des Hawareeen, dans la ville de Ram, en Cisjordanie occupée.Des sacs posés près de la porte, le thé servi, la chaise roulante pliée… C'est celle d'Amine, 6 ans, qui connait ce rituel par cœur ; un long périple jusqu'à l'hôpital de Tel Aviv où il restera un mois – avec son père – pour des séances de physiothérapie.  « Avant la guerre, on partait moins tôt quand on allait à l'hôpital, ce n'était pas comme ça… C'était un peu plus simple », raconte le petit Amine.Ce jeune garçon palestinien a un permis spécial pour se rendre en Israël et espérer retrouver, un jour, l'usage de ses deux jambes. Si son traitement est payé par l'Autorité palestinienne, le trajet ne l'est pas. Un coût exorbitant en taxi pour de nombreuses familles et un casse-tête, explique Alaa, son père, car les Palestiniens ne peuvent pas conduire de l'autre côté du mur de séparation.« Quand nous avons rendez-vous à 8 heures, on part à 4 heures, car on ne sait jamais ce qui va se passer au checkpoint. Mais depuis qu'on a entendu parler de l'association Road to Recovery, au moins, on sait que de l'autre côté, il y a un volontaire qui nous attend. »Un acte de co-résistanceCe volontaire qui les emmène jusqu'à l'hôpital, ce jour, c'est Itzik Even Tzur, un retraité israélien. À la base, c'était pour rencontrer des Palestiniens, échanger et pratiquer son arabe, qu'il a rejoint l'association il y a cinq ans. Mais depuis bientôt cinq mois, dit-il, c'est presque un acte de co-résistance.« De plus en plus de gens perdent l'espoir d'une paix. Mais nous devons aller au-delà de ce sentiment de désespoir. Car faire quelque chose, même à notre petit niveau, peut-être que c'est comme ça qu'on va aider. »Mais l'organisation Road to Recovery a été gravement affectée : les financements sont devenus extrêmement difficiles à trouver et la plupart des volontaires habitaient dans les kibboutz autour de Gaza. Quatre bénévoles ont été tués le 7 octobre, deux sont encore retenus en otage par le Hamas.Des trajets qui n'ont jamais cessé malgré l'attaque du Hamas « J'ai toujours été très fière de ce que je faisais », assure Yael Noy, 54 ans, directrice de l'organisation. « Maintenant, je suis toujours fière, mais je deviens bien plus prudente quand je parle de mon travail, parce que je ne veux blesser personne. Et la situation est tellement fragile, tellement sensible, que la plupart des Israéliens ne peuvent pas l'entendre en ce moment. »Elle le précise, les trajets vers l'hôpital n'ont jamais cessé. Dès le 8 octobre, des volontaires israéliens reprenaient la route des checkpoints. « Et la chose la plus incroyable, c'est que nous avons depuis 35 nouveaux volontaires qui nous ont rejoints après le 7 octobre. Ils nous ont dit : "Nous avons entendu parler de vous, nous voulons vous aider." Et ils ont commencé à conduire tous ces Palestiniens et ils le font très fréquemment. »Yael et tout son groupe de bénévoles espèrent une chose : pouvoir un jour reprendre les trajets entre Israël et Gaza et revoir les familles de Gazaouis qu'ils avaient l'habitude d'aider.

With each passing day, more Israeli bombs are falling on Gaza, more bodies are being blown apart and buried under the rubble, over a million Palestinians have been displaced from their homes. Over the past month and a half, the world has borne witness to a genocidal military campaign to clear out Gaza once and for all, and every day, every hour, it feels like the chance to stop one of humanity's most inhumane crimes is slipping through our fingers, and the powers that be have shown no interest whatsoever in listening to the thundering calls for a ceasefire coming from governments and mass demonstrations around the world, particularly the Biden administration in the US, the increasingly fascistic Netanyahu government in Israel, and the arms manufacturers and war profiteers who are raking in billions from manufacturing mass death. This is prompting people of conscience around the world, including unions and worker-led groups, to speak out and take action to try to stop the slaughter. One of those unions is the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys – UAW Local 2325 (ALAA), whose members include legal aid workers at over 25 organizations, including the Bronx Defenders, Brooklyn Defender Services, Neighborhood Defender Service, and the Legal Aid Society of New York City. Last week, ALAA members were preparing to hold a vote on whether or not to approve the union publicly issuing a "Resolution Calling for a Ceasefire in Gaza, an End to the Israeli Occupation of Palestine, and Support for Workers' Political Speech." In the lead-up to the vote, union members at different legal aid offices reported strong opposition from management. “These statements call for the elimination of the state of Israel and the annihilation of the Jewish people,” Twyla Carter, Chief Executive Officer of the Legal Aid Society, reportedly told staff, expressing concern that certain donors would pull funding from the Legal Aid Society if the union passed the resolution. Then, on Thursday, Nov 16, as Akela Lacy reports at The Intercept, "attorneys at the Legal Aid Society of Nassau County sued in New York State Supreme Court to stop the vote, saying it posed an ethical dilemma for attorneys that would make it “impossible for them to properly do their job as Public Defenders.” Those four attorneys were ALAA bargaining unit members. "On Friday," Lacy continues, "the court granted a temporary restraining order enjoining the vote. Voting had gotten underway at 9 a.m. and only 15 minutes were left on the clock when the injunction was issued. The tally never got underway." In this urgent mini-cast, we speak about this unprecedented attack on union democracy and workers' free speech rights with three ALAA members: Allie Goodman, an attorney in the Family Defense Practice at Bronx Defenders; Michael Letwin, a former public defender at Legal Aid in Brooklyn for 37 years who also served as president of ALAA – UAW Local 2325 for 13 years; and Dany Greene, who has worked as a public defender for six years, four of which were spent at Bronx Defenders, where they helped found and organize the BXD Union, and who now works at an appellate office focusing on criminal appeals.

Join us as we discuss:  - The Cairo Experience everyone is bound to have  - 1st World Problems vs 3rd World Problems - The Civilized vs Uncivilized Refugees - Freedom of expression, auto-censorship and comedy “for everybody”  خلال جولته العالمية لعرضه الجديد "مش أبيض"، زارنا الكوميدي المقدسي علاء أبو دياب ل#سردة مميزة! من كتابة كوميديا مألوفة لكل عربي (حرفيًا في أي مكان على الكوكب)، أو محاولة فهم الرغبة في استخدام اللهجة المصرية مع المصريين، إلى إعادة النظر العشوائية في جائحة كورونا، ينضم إلينا علاء أبو دياب في أحاديث شفافة ومضحكة. في هذه الحلقة، نناقش:  -جمال لا لا لاند لبنان الغريب  -التصنيف العظيم: المتحضرون مقابل غير المتحضرين   -حرية التعبير والرقابة الذاتية وكوميديا "للجميع" Sarde (noun), [Sa-r-de]: A colloquial term used in the Middle East to describe the act of letting go & kicking off a stream of consciousness and a rambling narrative.
