Recently, when talking about our site and its growth, Phil Weiss mentioned the South African slogan, “Nothing about us without us is for us.” He was referencing the addition of Palestinian staffers Mariam Barghouti and Faris Giacaman to the growing Mondoweiss Palestine team.
With our expanding team in Palestine, we can truly fulfill Mondoweiss’s mission of providing news and analysis regarding the struggle for Palestinian human rights that centers the Palestinian narrative to global audiences.
We have until July 9th to raise $125,000. Do you believe in our mission? Donate today and double your impact! A $50 contribution will instantly become $100, thanks to our campaign match.
The impact of this expansion is obvious. Our reporting is more relevant, timely, and unique than ever before. The growth of our Palestine newsroom has been received with excitement by readers, advocacy organizations, and activists alike. With staff across Palestine and the U.S. we have one of the most robust teams dedicated to covering Palestine, U.S. foreign policy, and the movement for Palestinian freedom.
Most importantly, our reporters, and the stories they are sharing, are getting the platforms they deserve among English-speaking audiences. The most recent example is Mariam’s appearance on Democracy Now! last Friday, providing details of the escalating violence Israeli settlers are unleashing against Palestinian towns in the West Bank.
We need millions more people exposed to Mondoweiss’s work to spark mass mobilization for a free Palestine.
Every dollar counts. If you donate today your contribution will be doubled!
Mondoweiss’s staff is our greatest asset. We pride ourselves on providing fair compensation to our correspondents who take incredible risks to give you the understanding you need to advocate for change. That means our staff expenses are high, 70% of our budget, or nearly $700,000 a year.
We can only produce eye-opening reporting thanks to the support of people like you. We count on those who value our work to invest in its sustainability. There is no other way to produce completely independent journalism!
Today we have a golden opportunity to advance justice and accountability through reliable news coverage, building on what we have achieved already, exposing millions to our work. Donate now, and be proud of the role you play in fighting disinformation and promoting justice in Palestine.
I’m excited about the future we are building together. Please do what you can today to show our staff that you value the sacrifices they make to bring you the stories you rely on.
