Activist Interviews

In early 2026, I started a long-term project of interviewing activists I either knew about or knew, with a view to chronicling their achievements and struggles. I was originally interested in interviewing the Princeton-area activists I knew, particularly the ones associated with Princeton’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment of April-May 2024, and those connected with Resistencia en Acción, the Princeton-Trenton based migrant defense group. But it quickly became pointless to restrict attention there, and I haven’t tried. Forthcoming interviewees include Sireen Sawalha, Sadaf Jaffer, Aditi Rao, Ana Paola Pazmiño, various participants in Princeton’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment, and many more.

The interviews are slow work, and I have very limited time and resources to work on them, so I can’t promise delivery on any particular schedule. I usually post them on the Policy of Truth blog, pin them there for a month or so, and then archive them here. All links open in a new window.
