This project supports Mada al-Carmel, a Palestinian research center based in Haifa, working to protect and advance Palestinian scholarship in the face of increasing censorship, academic suppression, and political repression. Rush in your donations before December 31 to take advantage of the tax credit! Your donation will fund critical research, empower emerging scholars, and preserve Palestinian voices in academia as we directly engage with 500+ academics and activists across Palestine.
Across Palestine and globally, Palestinian researchers are under attack. From growing censorship and the persecution of professors like Dr. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, to funding restrictions and academic blacklisting, critical research into Israeli settler-colonialism and Palestinian life is being silenced. Palestinian students are facing increasing surveillance and pressure to self-censor, especially since the war on Gaza began. At stake is academic freedom -and identity- all across Palestine
Your gift will directly support: Workshops and mentorship programs for over 500 Palestinian students and academics Action-oriented research through Mada's core programs (Policy, Gender, Israeli Studies, and PhD Program) The archiving and translation of Mada's 25-year legacy of Palestinian scholarship Resistance to censorship through continued publication of decolonial, justice-driven research Every contribution helps safeguard Palestinian academic voices and ensures that knowledge thrives
By supporting Mada al-Carmel, you help build a resilient, independent academic infrastructure that can carry forward Palestinian stories, analysis, and intellectual leadership for generations to come. This is not just about defending knowledge - it's about defending dignity, justice, and the right of a people to narrate their own history.
