"We have seen how mainstream media is used by the settler states to justify, perpetuate, then make invisible ~yet again~ a genocide in Palestine without consequence. We have seen how the truth is suppressed and how journalists are slaughtered by the dozens. Even they realize that the truth is our greatest weapon. Our power lies in our words. That is why this day is so important- The National Day of Mourning embodies an Indigenous counter narrative that dissolves settler lies. Today, with tongues like sharpened iron we will cut open colonialism and expose its rotten core." -- Demetrius Johnson, Dine', The Red Nation.
The speech is written by the members of The Red Nation and read by Demetrius Johnson. Watch on TikTok, Instagram, and Youtube!
