Alnoor Ladha: Oppression, Interconnection, Healing
Recorded in Summer 2020 for A New and Ancient Story Podcast (E48) from Charles Eisenstein
“The very practice of living the post-capitalist values is itself an act, but that requires being a good student of your culture, and spending some time educating yourself - ourselves - on what’s happening in the world as an ongoing practice.”
– Alnoor Ladha
