In celebration of Indigenous People's Day, and while Gaza is under attack and Palestinian resistance groups are fighting for their freedom and dignity, Mizna will be sharing art and ways to donate in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle against settler colonialism.

While Eid is usually a time to celebrate, this year is hardly celebratory as the genocide in Gaza enters its 7th month. We continue to demand a permanent ceasefire and reaffirm our solidarity with Palestine. There is no better way to celebrate than with peace and liberation.
