Uhlanganyele kanjani nesishoshovu sokulwa nempi futhi World BEYOND War (WBW)?
Angizange ngizibandakanye ngokuqinile nobushoshovu bokulwa nempi kuze kube muva nje ngasekupheleni kuka-2020. Yilapho-ke lapho ngafinyelela khona Awukho Umkhankaso Wezisekelo ukuzibandakanya ekumelaneni nezisekelo zamasosha angaphandle zase-US. Ngixhumene noMongameli weBhodi le-WBW uLeah Bolger ongixhumanise ne- Ukudidiyelwa Kwesisekelo Sezilwandle Phesheya Nokuhlanganiswa Kwokuvalwa (OBRACC), i-WBW eyilungu layo.
Ngiyanqikaza ukuzibiza ngesishoshovu esilwa nempi ngoba umnikelo wami ubulokhu ucwaninga kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo lwami ezisekelweni zamasosha lungithathe emhlabeni wonke (cishe) futhi lwangixhumanisa nabathile abazibophezele kakhulu ekulweni nempi, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, kanye nabahleli bezempi emhlabeni jikelele. Ngibheke phambili ekuzibandakanyeni ngokwengeziwe emhlabathini nabanye babo lapha eNew York.
Yiziphi izinhlobo zezenzo zokuzithandela ozisiza ngazo?
Ngaphandle kocwaningo lwami ngezisekelo zamasosha ze-OBRACC engibe nenhlanhla yokuthola uxhaso lwezezimali lwe-WBW, ngiyingxenye yethimba lemicimbi yamavolontiya lapha. Asigcini nje ngokuthumela imicimbi exhaswe yi-WBW, kodwa futhi sisebenza ukwenza lokhu kube yi-a ihabhu emaphakathi yemicimbi ukufaka isandla enhlanganweni enkulu elwa nempi emhlabeni jikelele.
Iyiphi incomo yakho ephezulu kumuntu ofuna ukuhileleka ne-WBW?
Ungalokothi uzigxile futhi wazi indawo yakho. Ungagxili nje kuphela kulokho ongakuletha kumbutho omkhulu wokulwa nempi emhlabeni wonke kepha futhi nalokho ongakuletha emphakathini wangakini. Uma uvela eGlobal North, umhlophe, futhi unesizinda esikhethekile, zihlole njalo futhi ubhekane nesimo sakho. Hlala ulalele kepha ungesabi ukukhuluma ngokumelene nabacindezeli kanye nabasizi bempi.
Zazi izithameli zakho. Musa ukuchitha isikhathi sakho uzama ukuguqula abantu asebevele bezibophezele ekuzuzeni empini nasekucindezelweni. I-WBW yikhaya elihle lalokhu. Gxila kokusekugcineni nabantu obadingayo ukuze ufike lapho. Imvamisa kungcono ukuthi ube nethemba kunokuba ube nethemba ekuhleleni ukulwa nempi nobushoshovu. Gcina umsebenzi wakho nokuhlaziya kugxile ezimeni ezibonakalayo zosuku futhi ungalahlekelwa amandla okuba noshintsho olukhulu nolwezinguquko.
Yini ekugcina uphefumulelwe ukusekela ushintsho?
Ukufunda mayelana nokufunda kwabantu ababethwala futhi bephikisana phambi kwami. Ukuzigcina engqondweni kunikeza idrayivu engapheli yokukhuthaza, ukumelana, nokulwa.
Ungakhohlwa ngeziboshwa zepolitiki. Ngokuqondile maqondana nobushoshovu bokulwa nempi e-US, lokhu kufake abantu abanjengoJudith Alice Clark noKathy Boudin, kanye noDavid Gilbert okumanje uvalelwe odilikajele ngecala lakhe lokulwa impi. Ngokubanzi kakhulu lokhu kungabandakanya abantu abanjengoMumia Abu-Jamal obehlale enganakwa izifo zakhe ezisongela impilo ngesikhathi evalelwe yedwa ejele lokufa. Asikhululekile baze bakhululeke.
Ubhubhane lwe-coronavirus likuthinte kanjani amandla akho ku-activism?
Ukuqapha nokuphepha kanye nokwesaba iCovid 19 kungenze ngangabaza kakhulu ukuya emicimbini yabantu. Selokhu kwaqala ubhadane, angizange ngihambele noma yimiphi imibuthano yabantu noma imibhikisho. Ngenkathi ngifunda e-UK, benginethemba lokuzibandakanya kakhulu phansi, kepha ubhadane lukuphazamise kakhulu lokhu.
Kodwa-ke, kunezikhala ezibonakalayo laphaya zomzabalazo wokulwa nempi. I-WBW inikeza lokhu. Ezinye izinhlangano eziningi zinikeza nalokhu futhi. Iya kuma-webinars, amaqembu okufunda, nemicimbi eku-inthanethi. Usengakwazi ukwakha izikhala zokulwa nempi ezinamandla futhi eziqhubekayo online. Kepha ungakhohlwa ukuthi kukhona umhlaba ngaphandle kwalokhu futhi akusona isiphetho konke.
