Shireen Abu Akleh

For 25 years, Shireen Abu Akleh was the “voice of Palestine,” reporting from the front lines on the reality of life under occupation – the tragedies, the mundane hardships, the rare rays of sunshine. She told the truth by sharing our stories and thus served as the megaphone for so many.

On May 11, 2022, an Israeli sniper silenced Shireen. But the lesson Israel refuses to learn is that there are many other truthtellers training and ready to take her place. We Are Not Numbers exists, with your support, to nurture and develop that next generation of storytellers. With the help of an international network of mentors and coaches, we have trained more than 300 journalists, poets, and essayists, publishing more than 1,000 of their creations to date.

Help us show the world that we cannot be silenced! We Are Not Numbers’ graduates will keep on coming, filling Shireen’s shoes. Please donate today!
