## Resource

Ezra sits down with acclaimed musician/songwriter Alexi Murdoch for a wide-ranging conversation on art, activism, and what it means to speak up in a time of crisis. They discuss Alexi’s recent visit to Palestine and what he witnessed under Israeli occupation. The conversation moves between the personal and the political—exploring the tension between creative expression and direct advocacy, and the moral responsibility to break silence in the face of injustice. They also reflect on propaganda, dehumanization, and the challenge of reaching people across deeply entrenched narratives—while holding onto the belief that transformation is still possible.
