[18/09/25 IG Repost]
This is an appreciation post to all of the worker-run collectives, co-ops, and small businesses which have helped PAA in our journey until today. With your help–your solidarity rates and sometimes even generous donations–we have managed to raise THOUSANDS for Palestinian organisations and families in this last year. So here is to you all, and here is to some more print runs soon!!!
First, shoutouts to @carryonscreening who really came through with some shirts this last month (slides 1-3). That baker’s dozen helped us raise around £700 in a SINGLE NIGHT for our last campaign highlight recipient at @decolonisefest . The Tees looked cool as F and we can’t wait to print the next round to keep supporting the Bi-Weekly Campaign Highlight Series.
Slide 4 is a bonus T-shirt, printed by the inimitable @knotwork_crusher_crust in Detroit, raising almost $1,000 for @gazasoupkitchen with just that one run of shirts. You guys are legendary. And slide 5 is a new T-shirt we are hoping to print soon… Just as a promo tease!!
MOVING ON…shouts out to @delfuegoscreenprinting in Chicago, US & @domakesayink in Birmingham UK for the AMAZING patches which are our bread and butter (slides 6-8, shout out to @total_liberationlondon and @piehouse.coop!). These simple patches are how we are able to raise the majority of the money we do. Of course, we could never have done that without the original designs by Ethan Heitner of @cartoonistsforpalestine and our old friend Hannah Allen.
NEXT: shouts out to @calvertscoop for working with us on a MASSIVE print run of zines a few months back that have helped us consistently send aid to Palestine AND spread critical political education (see slides 9-10, with prints alongside our UNDER THE BLADE OF A ZIONIST NIGHTMARE cassette raising money for @gazasunbirds). We always get GREAT feedback on the quality and we recommend other DIY groups check out this worker-run collective in London!
We never dreamed we would be here a year ago. And we are about to launch a BIG new GLOBAL initiative for mutual aid fundraising, for which badass merch will DEFINITELY play a part. So get excited, and GET ORGANISED!
FREE PALESTINE!!
