Rejecting complicity in the face of genocide (feat. Yipeng Ge)

Today, I am so honoured to have the primary care physician Yipeng Ge back on the show.

Yipeng has previously been on the ground providing aid in Gaza amid the genocide. He’s travelled with the activists who tried to march to Gaza to break Israel’s deadly siege, and he spent time on board a previous, recent freedom flotilla that tried to do the same, carrying medical supplies, prosthetics for children, medication and other essential humanitarian aid.

But on top of his relentless, fearless advocacy to try to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Canada’s complicity, he’s also worked on and studied the structural and colonial determinants of health here at home. 

Given we just marked the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we’re going to talk about that too.
