Raseef22 is an independent media platform, a voice across the 22 Arab countries standing against oppression, marginalization, and the denial of human rights.

Since our launch, we have built a space for free discussion, intercommunal debate, critical thinking, and questioning what many regimes have long silenced.

We do not see the media as merely a conveyor of news, but as a tool to defend rights, expose violations, and amplify voices.

Why support Raseef22?

Since its inception, Raseef22 has not just been a publishing platform, but a podium reflecting the reality of the 22 Arab countries, giving voice to communities and groups that have long been marginalized.

Today, more than 30 journalists, writers, and content producers work at Raseef22, producing in-depth, bold, and committed journalism every day.

We chose to confront taboos instead of avoiding them, and to write in forbidden spaces rather than confine ourselves to what is permitted.

But independence comes at a price. We have faced censorship in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, and our team has been pressured and harassed on more than one occasion. Despite all this, we have not backed down.

We reject conditional funding and political interference, and carefully choose our sources of support to safeguard and maintain our integrity and independence.

We believe that free press and journalism are a right for everyone, not a privilege for some at the expense of others. And we believe our role is to challenge the narratives of mainstream media.

But to continue, we need your support.

Every contribution — monthly, yearly, or even just once — helps us persevere, grow, and maintain our independence.

Support Raseef22 today, because free speech cannot survive without those who believe in it.

Keep this voice alive. Support free speech.
