Folks I’m here to remind you that we are DESPERATELY in need of your help to get as many eyes on this project as possible. Between censorship efforts toward pro Palestinian donation efforts & our being forced to host via our own site instead of popular crowdfunding ones, we need your help.

Samidoon Spotlight & Reveal!

This is just one of many amazing entries in the Samidoon: Comics for a Free Palestine anthology! Please check out samidoonanthology.com!
A partial comic panel in a watermelon border. The image depicts a collage of Palestinian women--a little girl hugging a relative with tears in her eyes, an older woman smiling kindly, women in handcuffs with their heads down, a woman in mask and keffiyeh marching along with a Palestinian protest. The women all look similar, like they could be relatives or the same woman at different stages in her life. Adapting the poem "On This Land" by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish into comics form. Adaptation by translator/writer Anas Abdulhak and artist/letterer Alina Wahab. The collection cover depicts a Palestinian man on a boat, seemingly moving at piece despite many waves in the colors of the Palestinian flag. Art by Dania Omari, logo by Jeeda Shupassi. What is Samidoon? Arabic for steadfast, brave, surviving, persevering. Samidoon: Comics for a Free Palestine is a 64-page anthology of new short comics from a mix of Palestinian creators and their allies that speak to the Palestinian ability to remain steadfast and survive. After print and production costs, all proceeds for the life fo the book will be donated to the Palestine Red Crescent Society to help those on the ground in Gaza, the West Bank, and across Palestine. samidoonanthology.com The graphic also includes the book's logo and iconography of watermelons and olive branches.
