<div>We are proud to have profoundly influenced the brand new documentary <a href="https://www.opb.org/article/2026/02/18/mulugeta-seraw-documentary-oregon-experience/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Remember Mulugeta Confronting Hate In Oregon</a> that aired February 18, 2026 from Oregon Public Broadcasting. Our book is a primary document that continues to uplift and educate, even as its creators and those we interviewed are not associated with major organizations and continue to labor in independent creative media and other areas.

</div>
<div>The tour funds came up short but we struggled through! We are recouping from the shortfall, paying for the website to keep the podcast alive, ordering more shirts, which are in demand and supporting artists as groceries triple, and our time is more in demand than ever as mobilizers, organizers, and activists during this era of upheaval. Times are tough these days, if you are not in a place to donate, please share widely, listen to the podcast, and tell your friends and family! Unite to fight! Thank you!
