On January 15, 2024, forty days after Palestinian poet, editor, and education Refaat Alareer was killed under Israeli bombardment, Publishers for Palestine are calling for a Global Day of Action, followed by a week of events, in which we read his poetry in public and refuse business as usual, demanding an end to the genocide and the occupation. Alareer’s poem “If I must Die” has been translated into dozens of languages and read around the world to commemorate his life and memory, and as an act of outrage and resistance against the attempt to extinguish Palestinian life. His poetry and love for language implore us to continue the fight for a free Palestine.

The Feminist Media Studio is located on the unceded lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation. We seek to stand in solidarity with Indigenous demands for land restitution and reparations.


  
Our work—committed to intersectional and anti-colonial feminist praxis—actively engages and names the predicament of doing feminism on stolen land. We acknowledge that territorial acknowledgement is insufficient to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities.
Our anti-colonial and decolonial efforts articulated in our Lab Values center resisting extraction in all its facets, de-centering feminist canons, valuing methodologies that oppose white supremacy, and building good relations with human and more-than-humans.
