On this special segment of the UK Desk, Host Jack Clarke has a compelling conversation with Lizzie Greenwood, a young activist on the front lines of a hunger strike protesting the UK government’s support for Israel amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Lizzie shares her motivations, the emotional and physical toll of her protest, and her message to young people about the power of direct action in the fight for justice. We also explore the urgent need for global solidarity, the challenges activists face when confronting political institutions, and how acts of resistance can amplify the voices of the oppressed.
