Our bayt is large.
Join RAWI today and become one of our members! We welcome Arab and SWANA (Southwest Asian and North African) creatives who share our organizational vision of anti-racist, anti-zionist, transfeminist, and anti-patriarchal politics, both located in North America / on Turtle Island as well as elsewhere in the world. RAWI especially welcomes Black, Indigenous, and other people of color within our communities to join as members.
Your low-barriers-to-access membership enrolls you in our newsletter to ensure you are up to date on our offerings, invites you to our town halls, and grants access to a verified/secure member directory to help you find your community. You’ll also get dibs on occasional RAWI merch and giveaways.
