I've raised £144000 to grow The Curated Edit (https://the-curated-edit.co.uk/) into a pro-Palestine community platform

We are small - but everything starts small. Long before 7th of October happened, the Zionist media has always been biased against the Palestinian reality. It has skewed minds and made the Palestinians look like the villains.
The genocide in Gaza has made it crystal clear that we on the pro-Palestine side need to start creating our own headlines and news.
Social media companies continue to ban pro-Palestine voices, and so we cannot rely solely on them - many good people have been permanently banned. We want to ensure our voices remain alive.
We have been operating The Curated Edit for several months, with a focus on providing news from a pro-Palestine perspective. And to go into topics that traditionally have been taboo.
A key segment we have is doing researched articles exposing Zionist extremism. No one else in Europe is doing this. There will come a time when Zionists will deny the things they've said, the positions they've supported, and they will delete items from their social media - we want to have it printed in digital ink so it remains forever.
To make it a credible news site we need to have regular content output - and this is an impossible challenge when we have day jobs and other commitments to take care of, unless we hire help.
We have been encouraged by the people who would be interested to write for us - and based on quotes, we have worked out that on average the price per article is £80. Which means; 5 segments on TCE, 30 days per month, with 12 months in a year, it comes to £144,000 to run TCE for 12 months with regular content output.
In principle, we have already lined up writers:
- Lailla Bal'Mahdi - (Academic Writer, UK)
- Nosheen Malik - (Comms & Policy, UK)
- Denise Conroy - (Coach & Advisor to C-Site, USA)
- Rachid Sekkai - (Former BBC journalist, UK)
- Maree Campbell - (Programme Manager, UK)
- Dylan Evans - (Writer & Psychoanalyst, UK)
- Azhaar Amayreh - (Marketing Manager, Gaza)
- Astri Widya - (CX expert, Indonesia)
We know the feeling of being silenced by LinkedIn for dubious and arbitrary reasons; a feeling of helplessness, injustice. Just for being pro-Palestine and anti-Zionist.
We registered The Curated Edit as a CIC (Community Interest Company) - which means we operate it as a non-profit (the rules didn't allow us to register it as a charity because of the "political nature").
Every pound we raise will be kept within and be used to expand the platform and its presence. You can follow our end of year account updates here on Companies House, where all UK companies including CIC's have to be registered - all the money we raise will be accounted for there.
