FEATURED PROJECTS
Host a Screening of Severed
Severed tells the story of Mohamad Saleh, an 18-year-old from Gaza who has lived through five major assaults on the Gaza Strip. In those attacks, he lost his home, family members, his best friends, and, at the age of 12, his leg. Now living in exile in Egypt, Mohamad struggles to piece together the shattered fragments of his life. Through his eyes, the pain and trauma endured by thousands in Gaza are laid bare, alongside their remarkable strength, resilience, and determination to live.
If you are interested in hosting a screening for your community—whether at your home, a venue, or virtually—we’ll provide you with a Screening Guide which includes tips for planning and promoting your screening, plus discussion prompts and resources to help you connect attendees with disability justice organizing.
Help DSP win $1,000!
This week, Donkeysaddle Projects has a chance to win $1,000 via our fiscal sponsor’s annual Spring Match campaign! Fractured Atlas is giving $1k to 20 different projects. Every donation that you make between Monday, May 4th and Friday, May 8th gives us one extra chance to receive the $1,000. A donation of any amount improves our odds – each donation is like buying another raffle ticket for Donkeysaddle, giving us a better chance of being one of the 20 projects that win!
In these difficult times, Donkeysaddle Projects’ work is more important than ever. Here is some recent feedback from our community members that we were so grateful to receive:
“[This event] has given me hope and inspiration. Art is power and existence is resistance!”
- Student participant in our March Yo Te Esperaba workshop at Fresno State
“This was incredible, nourished parts of me I didn’t even know I needed.”
- Participant in Seattle’s Abolition Learning Circle
“I don’t have words. [This event] allowed me to learn and integrate and have a new wave of innovation in solidarity.”
- Audience member at Severed screening
Receiving this $1k would help us continue to further our impact and reach more people with art/storytelling and political education, and connect them to organizing and advocacy efforts. Thanks so much for making a donation to help us get there!
