About Shabaka

Shabaka (شبكة) means net, or network. A net is shown on the kuffiyeh, the traditional Palestinian scarf, symbolizing fisherman's nets.

Shabaka is a platform dedicated to connecting people with Palestinian events, workshops, and community activities. Our mission is to empower organizers for Palestine, rise above the censorship of Palestine related content, and connect the Palestinian movement globally.

By highlighting Palestinian events on one platform, organizers can increase their visibility and strengthen solidarity with movements for Palestine across the globe. When we unite our efforts, we amplify our impact.

Social media has failed us in suppressing Palestine based content. This platform is developed by Palestinians and is free from that censorship, ensuring that events for Palestine are easily discoverable.

We place importance on Arabic, the mother tongue of Palestine, and aim to empower Arabic speakers by providing a platform that is accessible and easy to use.

Made by Palestinians for those who love Palestine
