Today we join Palestinians around the world in honoring Shireen Abu Akleh, who was assassinated three years ago by israeli occupation forces in Jenin while wearing her PRESS vest. In her own words, “I chose journalism to be close to the people.” Close to the people she was, and remains.

On Nakba Day in 2022 just days after her martyrdom we honored her memory as we took to the streets for Palestine. Three years later, at least 213 journalists like Shireen have been martyred amidst the ongoing genocide in Gaza. They were more than just reporters — they were Palestinians who embraced the role of defending the truth and fighting for a free Palestine. They spoke with courage, and embodied the spirit of resistance with their immortal voice.

As we continue to take to the streets for Gaza, Jenin, and Palestine, we honor all our martyrs, who guide us forward on the path of liberation and return within our lifetime.

Join us Thursday for Nakba 77. 4 PM. Cadman Plaza, Brooklyn Bridge.
