Media Against Apartheid & Displacement (MAAD) was originally established as the Movement Media Alliance’s first editorial project. Its initial iteration took shape as a curated website that gathered and presented news and analysis on the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Israeli apartheid and the occupation of Palestine, U.S. complicity, and resistance movements fighting for Palestinian liberation from a growing collective of media organizations and platforms.

MAAD evolved into a newsletter for our subscribers and a weekly reading list published on Instagram.

MAAD is a direct response to a vital need: we provided a home for journalism that centers on the people most impacted by settler colonialism, imperialism, apartheid, genocide, state-sanctioned violence, surveillance, and displacement. Drawing from a range of movement journalism sources, we point readers toward reporting and analysis that is accurate, rigorous, insightful, and principled. Our aim is not only to elevate journalistic work that exposes injustice, but also to uplift coverage of the powerful movements that are resisting Zionism and other colonial violence—and creating transformative visions for liberatory futures.
