Rising For Our Motherlands is a podcast series about our love for our homelands, our people,

and each other. Our pilot season draws connections from Palestine to the so-called Philippines, and illuminates our interconnected struggles in our homelands and as people in diaspora.
 
In this series we will dig deep into our roots as artists and organizers, building political resistance to oppression, granddaughters of survivors, daughters of diaspora and dreamers committed to freedom for our peoples, and the land. Each episode will explore a theme from how we got inspired to take action in our communities, to the histories of anti-colonial struggle in our motherland -- from the islands known as the Philippines to Palestine. We will talk about strategies for community care and the demands to return to our motherlands, share stories from our families, memories, lessons from our lineages, and get real about what’s happening overseas and in the diaspora right now.

Rising For Our Motherlands weaves together music, poetry, memories and stories with artists, community organizers and leaders, educators, land stewards, mothers, comrades and kasamas... people who rise for our motherlands every day in small ways, through embodiment, imagination, practice, and direct action.
