We do not take any government or corporate funding, so we can remain unwavering in our commitment to bring you fearless trustworthy reporting on the issues that matter most. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

1,000+ Black Artists & Scholars Declare Solidarity with Palestinians

HeadlineAug 19, 2015

More than 1,000 black activists, artists, scholars and students have signed on to a statement supporting “the liberation of Palestine’s land and people.” Signatories include scholars Angela Davis and Cornel West, jailed journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, hip-hop artist Talib Kweli and Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors. The statement endorses the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions movement against Israel. It specifically highlights private prison giant G4S as a target for the movement, because the company detains for profit Palestinians in Israel as well as people of color in the United States.
