support shado
We’ve launched a t-shirt campaign to support our work at shado.
Through buying a t-shirt, you are directly supporting shado’s radical storytelling, including:
Our mentorship programme for first-time writers
Commissioning of writers and creatives working at the frontline of social justice movements around the world
The ability for shado to amplify and support direct actions and work being done by organising groups on the ground
Importantly, your contribution will allow us to keep all of our content free: buying a t-shirt is therefore a move of solidarity which also makes you a key part of the overall radical media ecosystem. With countless independent platforms forced to close down or move their work behind a paywall in order to exist, this t-shirt is not only a chance to wear your values but also to enable us to stay independent, radical and free of charge.
Two designs featuring artwork by Fernanda Peralta and Sabrina Gevaerd. All t-shirts are available in short and long sleeved versions. Grab yours now!

![Important piece by the good folks at @makanrights on why, to be anti-colonial activists, we must think of disability justice as a key component of our struggle for Palestinian freedom.
They write: “Now, we are *not* all Palestinians! As @mohammedelkurd writes, despite the solidarity and the chants of “In our thousands in our millions, we are Palestinians”, there is a huge chasm in the experience and level of sacrifice between us and Palestinians on the ground. But while it is important for us to understand the differences in our experiences and material conditions, we can find certain points of resonance, and one of these is in the ubiquity of disability.
We all need healthcare, so many of us know, although of course to a varying degree, how it feels to be dehumanised and have our autonomy taken from us in this way through our experiences with our healthcare system. When we can draw the connection between Palestine and disability in this way, this can give us an avenue for thinking about our own liberation and about solidarity with Palestine.”
