The Genocide Gentry Project exposes the executives and board members of major weapons companies who also hold prestigious and powerful positions at museums, cultural organizations, universities & hospitals - the deeply embedded power structure undergirding institutional decisions on how to respond to the genocide in Gaza. The site is a project of the Public Accountability Initiative--also known as LittleSis (the opposite of Big Brother)--along with the Adalah Justice Project and the Action Center on Race and the Economy. Frann Michel talks with Munira Lokhandwala, Director of Technology and Training with Little Sis, about the Genocide Gentry, Little Sis, and the value of researching networks of social-political-economic power in order to strengthen campaigns and liberatory movements. LittleSis hosts a database, publishes research, and offers monthly trainings for organizers interested in building research skills.
