Mask Up! We Need You: Palestinian Solidarity, Covid-19, and the Struggle for Liberation by Rimona Eskayo and Sheyam Ghieth is "a primer for those who consider themselves co-strugglers for Palestinian liberation, yet may not understand the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic as both a genocide in itself and a tool of genocide that perpetuates all others."  Frann Michel talks with the creators of the zine  about  the cumulative dangers and disparate impacts of the continuing pandemic, the interconnections of capitalism and disease, and their work to share information and resources.
