Al-Awda Newspaper Needs Your Support!

This newspaper is the result of the work of many, and the contributions of many. It aims to provide a forum and a venue for informing the public, discussing community concerns, and organizing for justice in Palestine, within North America, and internationally. Featuring reports on activities and events of a local, national and international character, penetrating political analyses that reach to the root of the major questions of the day and unique news and interviews, Al-Awda: Voices of Resistance and Liberation newspaper is a voice of the movement.

It reaches community members, readers and supporters with important messages and information, and provides an opportunity for expression - and for mobilization. From informing readers about upcoming events, actions and demonstrations, to providing necessary political analyses of the events of the day, Al-Awda Newspaper provides a vehicle for the voices of the Palestinian and Arab community and the Palestine solidarity movement.

This newspaper, on the streets, in businesses, offices and homes, in student centers, academic buildings and coffee shops, provides the news that is excluded from the corporate media, and provides a mechanism for activists, organizers and community members to share their insight and creative works with one another.

As we organize and build, in the community and among the public at large, sustainable institutions are necessary for a vital movement that grows. This newspaper can be one such sustainable institution. In order to ensure that it remains such, however, your support is needed.

This newspaper, publishing Palestinian and solidarity voices committed to the struggle for national liberation, takes as its name the core issue and demand of the Palestinian movement - Al-Awda, the return. It is committed to a vision of justice in Palestine that embraces total liberation and full equality in a democratic Arab Palestine in all of historic Palestine and that seeks out solidarity with oppressed communities, people of color, indigenous peoples and all oppressed sectors and nations. It is committed to firm opposition to colonialism, imperialism and racism in all of its forms, including the Zionist project.

It is a voice that is needed and wanted. It opens lines of communication - for organizing, for awareness, and for discussion. If you agree that this publication is valuable, please extend your support for Al-Awda in one of the following ways:
