One of the tactics we've seen governments use to suppress speech throughout this series is revoking

non-profit status or otherwise making it difficult for organizers to get funding to stay afloat. That happens in

other ways too. I wanted to talk to Seline Seman this week about exactly this

problem.

Saline runs a project called Slow Factory.

They do educational initiatives on social media

and via online learning platforms and events connecting the dots for people on art, science, history, and colonization.

Their content is really interesting.

Selene's a designer, so it's always very beautiful to look at,

and they do a really great job of making really complicated issues accessible.

Over the past few months, Slow Factory has been outspoken in calling for a ceasefire in Gaza,

and as a result, has lost all of its funding in a matter of just a few months.

We're going to hear from Seline on that

and why it's more important than ever

for the climate movement to be a justice movement.

That conversation is coming up after this quick break.

You're listening to Drilled and I'm Amyeline Samhahan. I'm one of the co-founder of Slow Factory and Slow Factory is a

non-for-profit for now working at the intersection of climate justice and human rights, particularly we've

been studying for the past decade, looking at the impact of climate on human health and also the impact on climate on

geopolitics and human rights in general.

And so I've started working on Slo Factory in 2008 just as a research trying to connect the

dots between a lot of things that were impacting my lived experience but also we're part of my area of work and area of expertise.
