Lee and Shane Lukas about co-founding NOLA Freedom Forum and the Palestinian Youth Movement in New Orleans to educate people on the interconnectedness of liberation struggles and to create a space for queer Palestinians, his views on how to create a more inclusive and just world that recognizes the significance of Palestinian storytelling, and how writing plays an important role in his own life practice.
