If there’s hope for real change in Palestine with the next U.S. administration, we’re going to need an honest conversation about the nature of Zionism.

Will you help us match it?
Today, the fight for justice is being fought in the United States, in Palestine and in countless places around the world. As you know, the corporate media’s attention span is short – when they notice at all.

We cover Palestinians’ stories of occupation, resistance and hope – stories that show us all how the world’s struggles interconnect. Today, we’re asking for your help in continuing this essential work.
