Rest is Resistance
This Sunday 6, July: Join us for a fundraising event for our founder Anas Mushtaha
Sunday July 6- 6pm Uk Timezone
One Humanity Collective is our new sister site where we will be hosting many upcoming events. Join us this Sunday, 6, July for an online fundraising event for our founder Anas Mushtaha. While Anas supports 1000’s of families with Sun of Freedom, we have to continue to support him so he can keep helping his community in Gaza. Anas has his own personal campaign he uses for his family, and never uses funds from Sun of Freedom. He is officially out of funds and 100% of the proceeds from this Sunday will go to his campaign.
Sunday July 6- 6pm TICKETS
Rest is Resistance
The event will be hosted by one of our co-founders Angie Walker, and will geared towards activists who are feeling burnout, or struggling to keep going. After almost 2 years of advocating for Palestine we have to remember to give ourselves breaks to breathe so we can keep going. If we don’t make sure to nurture ourselves as we do this work we run the risk of completely burning out and not being able to function. This is detrimental to the movement.
Rest is Resistance first created by Tricia Hersey; author of' ‘Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto’. Rest is Resistance means that prioritizing rest, particularly in a society that demands constant productivity, is a form of pushing back against oppressive systems.
This event is a space for us to come together, support each other and give ourselves room to breathe so we can continue to show up for our friends.

‘Life of Anas’- Mini Documentary
As part of the event we will be premiering a short documentary of Anas’s life. We will share the story of Anas, his family, his career as a wheelchair basketball player, and surviving a genocide as someone suffering with an untreated disability. This is a film you don’t want to miss, showcasing beautiful cinematography by Gazan filmmaker and journalist Hamed Sbeata.
Book of Poetry- By Anas
Our team has been collecting Anas’s words over this last plus year, and we have created a digital book showcasing his heartbreaking, beautiful words with imagery. You can choose to attend the event with the event ticket, plus the book. Or if you can’t make the event you can also choose to purchase the book on its own. 100% of proceeds go to Anas.
