Dear reader,
This year, we took a big plunge and expanded the Mondoweiss staff because we believe the current moment demands more critical coverage of the Palestinian struggle for freedom. We now have four dedicated staff reporting from Palestine. We’re publishing more original news stories, more videos, more podcasts, and more voices ignored by mainstream media. The honest truth is, we need more readers to pitch in with a donation. We have an ambitious goal to raise $70,000 in the next two weeks. Please donate today.
