Mizna

As we look back at 2024, our 25th Anniversary year, we want to thank you for your generosity during this catastrophic moment. Over the year, we spent a lot of time questioning the relevance of our work as we continue to witness genocide and ethnic cleansing. 

Through our self-reflection, we knew the answer was to continue our work: For Mizna, that meant continuing to publish, screen, promote, and preserve Arab & SWANA voices. We also provided space for our communities to gather in collective grief, rage, and solidarity, spreading the message of resistance in the face of humanitarian crises taking place in Gaza, Khartoum, Artsakh, and too many other places. To learn more about all we accomplished this year, visit the "2024 at Mizna" tab above.

These days, we work from the edge of our seats, also unsure as to what follows in this ominous political climate, when even before the new administration takes office, there has already been a fascist bill passed in the US House, which, if it becomes law, will make it illegal to advocate for Palestinian liberation. So we continue in these dark and precarious times that threaten Arab and SWANA– centered communities and organizations. 

We are incredibly grateful to you if you recently gave during our Give to the Max campaign to fund the Gaza Folio publication focusing on writers now in Gaza. 

If everyone receiving this letter gave just $25 by December 31, we would close our 2024 budget gap of $6000. We welcome any size gift you make.
