FEATURED PROJECTS

Introducing the Grassroots Community Network

The program formerly known as the Palestine Grassroots Distribution Project is now the Grassroots Community Network (GCN). At DSP, we are committed to never engaging in “hit and run storytelling.” When we partner with people impacted by state violence to amplify their stories, we remain committed to them and their families—providing ongoing stipends to our storytelling partners and continuing to work with them and share their stories throughout the years.

Many of our storytelling partners are based in Gaza. But we also have partnered with people in Darfur, as well as multiple places throughout the US. With our wide community of storytelling partners in mind, we have decided to change the name to reflect the work. The Grassroots Community Network is an accurate representation of the rich community of storytelling partners we work with throughout the world.

Visit our GCN page to learn more about our storytelling partners. You can also make a contribution to support this work. Thank you for your partnership!

Abolitionist Futures Reading Circles

Do you want to imagine beyond defeatism in 2026? Join our global Abolitionist Futures Reading Circles!

This is 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. There are local circles, with monthly virtual transnational gatherings.

We currently have reading circles set up in Mexico City, Mexico; Ramallah, Palestine; Washington, DC; Baltimore, Maryland; Seattle, Washington; and Fayettville, Arkansas. If you don’t see your city on the list but know this is something you’d love to be a part of, you can be the point person in your own city!
