SUMMARY:June's Freedom Film: Storytelling for collective liberation
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of increased attacks on Palestinians\, the interconnected struggles of those fighting against settler-colonialism have never been clearer. Donkeysaddle Projects’ Vignette Collective strives to connect the decolonial struggles of Black\, Palestinian\, Chicanx\, and Turtle Island’s Indigenous communities. Through poetry\, personal essays\, and performance\, we look at the impacts of settler-colonization and celebrate the resilience of those who have been in struggle. And we want to share it with you.  \nThat’s why we’re inviting you to join us on June 30th at 8pm ET for our virtual fundraiser featuring the work-in-progress from the Vignettes Collective. Get a sneak peek of our creative\, collaborative process with our collective of artists\, activists\, and organizers\, while raising funds to support Palestinians in urgent need in Gaza. We hope to see you there!
