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.

Trekking for Gaza and Donkeysaddle Projects

Donkeysaddle Projects founder Jen Marlowe is currently on her annual trek to raise money for Donkeysaddle Projects and the Grassroots Community Network. She intends to hike 600 miles: 400 of these will be on the Continental Divide Trail in Montana, and then 200 more on the Appalachian Trail in Maine.

This trek is an opportunity to raise funds for desperately needed stipends for our storytelling partners from Gaza and other areas of crisis.

This year, you can also join Jen on a mini-trek in your own neighborhood!

Visit the Raisely site to learn about the storytelling partners whose stipends you are supporting, make a contribution, and sign up for your own mini-trek.
