Whiter Shade of Refugee Edition
America’s golden doors have swung open — but only for the melanin-deficient. The Trump administration, which has largely slammed the gates shut on war-torn refugees from Afghanistan, Syria, or anywhere Trump has designated a “shithole country,” has made a heartwarming exception: white South African farmers fleeing the unspeakable hardship of… potential land redistribution.

Original play by Crystal Zevon: One Family in Gaza.
A discussion and Zoom Q&A session with the playwright will follow the performance.
This non-fiction drama is based on the friendship between Zevon and a young father in the Gaza Strip. The story is told through their correspondence since the Fall of 2023, reflecting Zevon’s efforts to help the family, intertwined with short news reports that give context to the messages. The main focus is the messages received from the young father, while telling a story that in some ways reflects universal truths about living through any war and offers insights into this particular conflict. The piece is a rare telling of a war experienced in real time, calling upon us to never forget our humanity.
The BIMA performance of One Family in Gaza is sponsored by the Kitsap Palestine Solidarity Coalition and is offered free of charge. Donations to feed families in Gaza will be accepted at the venue. Palestinian food and merchandise will be available.
See the website for more information about the play

Process the news with Indivisible co-founders Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg
Every Thursday at 3pm, we take a step back to absorb the news of the past week, draw inspiration from the work Indivisibles and allies are doing all across the country, and talk about how we fight back. The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back. The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back Click here to register

If the Trump / Musk agenda were happening in any other country no one would hesitate to call it a coup in progress. Naomi Klein has called it a “counter revolution”, though she points out that we never completed the revolution, so we find ourselves defending a future which hasn’t yet manifested itself. We must accept that saving American democracy is up to us – there’s no cavalry coming.
