In Memory of Alice Nashashibi

Our dear friend and supporter Alice Nashashibi recently passed away. We are so sad for the loss of Alice, an activist and a wonderful person who wanted to affect positive change in the world. She was an inspiring woman and leader and we will never forget her contributions to telling the stories of the voiceless. Alice will remain forever in our hearts, and we are so grateful that we could be a part of her amazing life.

 

Please see the clip below with Alice telling more about her commitment to independent media and her 80th Birthday:
