Meaning and History of Zionism with fosse chang

fosse chang is a member of and grassroots organizer with the Tzedek Collective, an anti-Zionist Jewish contingent working to further Palestinian liberation and collective liberation on the stolen land of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples (so called "Victoria, BC"). As a queer, trans, Asian Jewish settler on these lands, fosse stands at the intersection of many marginalized identities that inform their approach to liberation movements. fosse is interested in wrestling with how Jewish texts call on them to act in solidarity with marginalized peoples, from Turtle Island to Palestine. Boston, Lyndon and fosse discuss the history of Christian Zionism and its implications today. They also talk about Zionism as a political movement, and local efforts around anti-Zionist education and action. Finally, they talk about the complex web of allyship, and what to do when someone feels afraid to speak up or act. 

What is Let's Talk Faith and Justice?

Let's Talk Faith and Justice is a podcast hosted by Boston Laferté, a current JD/JID and MDiv student, and Lyndon Sayers, co-pastor of Lutheran Church of the Cross in Victoria and a spiritual care provider with UVic Multifaith.

The podcast explores topics of faith through the lens of justice, and topics of justice through the lens of faith. Both the hosts and guests bring their own unique life experiences and faith journeys to explore how the sometimes-conflicting worlds of faith and justice can intersect in deep and life-giving ways.

It is with deep respect and gratitude that Let's Talk Faith and Justice is recorded and produced on unceded lək̓ʷəŋən territories that include Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations.
