FEATURED PROJECTS
Host a Screening of Severed
Severed tells the story of Mohamad Saleh, an 18-year-old from Gaza who has lived through five major assaults on the Gaza Strip. In those attacks, he lost his home, family members, his best friends, and, at the age of 12, his leg. Now living in exile in Egypt, Mohamad struggles to piece together the shattered fragments of his life. Through his eyes, the pain and trauma endured by thousands in Gaza are laid bare, alongside their remarkable strength, resilience, and determination to live.
If you are interested in hosting a screening for your community—whether at your home, a venue, or virtually—we’ll provide you with a Screening Guide which includes tips for planning and promoting your screening, plus discussion prompts and resources to help you connect attendees with disability justice organizing.
Abolitionist Futures Reading Circles
Our Abolitionist Futures Reading Circles are a place to come together and read texts across genres to help us imagine the future we want to live in, and define what is required from us to get there.
June’s read for the Abolitionist Futures Reading Circles is Love After the End: An Anthology of Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer Speculative Fiction, edited by Joshua Whitehead. Our global virtual discussion about this book will be Sunday, June 28th at 1pm EST.
We currently have reading circles set up in Mexico City; Ramallah; Washington, DC; Baltimore; Seattle; San Diego; and Northwest Arkansas. If you don’t see your city on the list but would like to have a local space, you can be the point person in your own city!
Sign up to join a circle (or start one locally) at tinyurl.com/abolitionistfuture.
