the release of mohammed el-kurd posted by the sheikh jarrah units official instagram account. here is a mediocre translation of the caption they posted alongside this video: “these arrests won’t intimidate us. the occupation forces released mohammed el-kurd after an interrogation that lasted hours, with flimsy excuses in an attempt to intimidate and muzzle us. this is how jerusalem welcomed back its voice [mohammed]”

Fantasia—the game of powder or “tborida” in Moroccan Arabic—stands for the breathtaking sport and equestrian art that has being practiced
 in Morocco and other Maghreb countries since the 8th Century. It is a tribal, rural and religious tradition.

In Morocco it is practiced to celebrate moussems (festival of sowing, harvesting) and to celebrate a saint. It can be performed to maintain
 the folklore or for tourism. It is an exhibition of mastery uniting the man and his horse. Riders dressed in wide trousers and djellabas immaculate, holding in their hands long guns directed towards the sky. Their horses are fitted with harnesses and colourful saddles.

The performance consists of a group of horse riders, who charge along
 a straight path at the same speed to form a line. At the end of the charge (about two hundred meters) they fire into the sky using old muskets
 or muzzle-loading rifles. The most difficult part of the performance is to synchronize the movement of the horses during their acceleration and to fire the guns simultaneously so that one single shot is heard. The horse is referred to as a fantasia horse and is of Arabian, Andalusian or Barb stock.

The term “fantasia” is of Latin origin, meaning “entertainment”, or Spanish- Italian meaning “fantasy”. In the Moroccan language, this word becomes Darija (moroccan arabic) and takes the meaning of “exposition”. This is because the tribes, according to their area, added games with the gun, acrobatics, colored outfits and beautiful parade harness.

The specific intersection of gender, class, and immigrant status needs to be addressed in the #StopAsianHate movement. It is beyond disingenuous to aggregate “anti-Asian” hate that does not account for these statues because it erases the most marginalized Asian women who are dark-skinned, impoverished, immigrants, elders, trans, and sex workers. Don’t overlook the fact that a majority of the attacks have been against Asian women.

What happened in Atlanta happens daily to Asian & migrant women who work in massage parlors (which can sometimes front as sex work). Massage therapists face a combined assault of hypersexualization, abuse, racism, and misogyny. 

Please consider boosting smaller mutual aid funds and grassroots organizations over the big #AAPI organizations. These large organizations are usually too broad and often don’t use the money as well. 

Here is an ongoing thread of anti-carceral, migrant, sex worker, reproductive justice and other Asian organizations to support instead.

Red Canary Song: grassroots collective that supports Asian & migrant sex workers, organizing transnationally

Butterfly: provides support, education and information to Asian & migrant sex workers

Swan Vancouver: supports Asian migrant women workers fleeing violence & exploitation

National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum: advocates & supports immigrant Asian women worker and reproductive rights in GA
