Recorded in the summer of 2023—before the ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza—this bonus episode captures themes that remain urgent today: internationalism, solidarity, and the power of collective struggle. You’ll hear sounds from the Unity Intifada of 2021, a historic moment of Palestinian uprising and resistance that transcended geographic and political borders, uniting Palestinians from the river to the sea and in the diaspora. Included are echoes from the 2021 Unity Intifada car caravan in Yelamu (San Francisco), featuring the voice of Lubna Morrar chanting in the streets—an early vision for what Rising For Our Motherlands would become.
This episode reminds us that the liberation of Palestine is deeply connected to other struggles for sovereignty and freedom—especially that of the Philippines. It is a call to deepen our international and joint struggle, recognizing that our futures are intertwined, and that rising for one motherland means rising for them all.
A huge thank you to Salma Taleb, Hesham Jarmakani, Francesca Juico, Chris Wanis, and Carmelo Ibanez for our beautiful theme music and to our co-conspirator & We Rise producer Cat Petru for weaving our voices and songs together.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
