Matching March: Double Your Donations!
As attacks on Palestinian life continue and Indigenous sovereignty struggles persist, we need stories that connect our movements — not isolate them. Our film brings together Palestinian and Indigenous voices to illuminate shared resistance to colonial violence, and the power of solidarity across lands and generations.
For a limited time, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact in bringing this urgent story to life!
Give today and help us unlock the full match so these stories can reach the audiences who need them most.
Huge thank you to our matching donors: Love Intersections, Cool.World, Seize the Means Video Co-Op, and Courage Consulting.
