Palestine Forever to Host Fundraising Event in NYC December 10

Palestine Forever and DJs Against Apartheid are teaming up to host a fundraising event, ‘Thawra ’, at Nowadays in New York on December 10th.

Palestine Forever is a New York-based grassroots initiative launched by a group of resident artists from The Lot Radio to organise cultural resistance and fundraising for Palestinian liberation. Operating at the intersection of local nightlife, art, and activism, the collective mobilises underground music networks to raise funds for families in Gaza, build mutual aid channels, and hold cultural institutions accountable for sanitising or normalising the ongoing genocide of Palestinians by the state of Israel.

The event aims to mobilise local venues, networks, and dance floors into a sustained cultural front for Palestinian liberation, stripping away performative solidarity to demand concrete accountability from New York City’s nightlife ecosystem.

The night will feature performances from regional and international artists, including Mexican-Palestinian music producer, DJ and radio host Lorisms, Palestinian-Armenian DJ/producer Nanoos, Palestinian-American producer Omar b2b Egyptian-American DJ Myyuh, alongside Negrolith, Relaxer, and Archangel.

Beyond the decks, the night connects dance music to broader abolitionist and anti-imperialist struggles, featuring tabling and teach-ins from Fund the Inside, Demilitarise Brooklyn Navy Yard, No Music for Genocide, and BK Jail Support. Sondos Al-Saqqa, a poet from one of the partner families, will also contribute a video statement sharing her work directly from Gaza.

The event is open to the public, with donations going towards supporting families in Palestine.
