About Forward / Scratch
Forward Scratch is a volunteer-run resistance music publication launched in October 2024. We focus on the role of music and nightlife as tools of resistance in the struggle for Palestinian liberation.
Mutual aid via subscriptions
We offer paid monthly subscriptions where all proceeds are directed to aiding victims of colonial violence. You can find the fund we're currently supporting at forwardscratch.com/aid.
Contributing
We're open for submissions, and we're eager to collaborate! You can read our guidelines and send us your pitch here.
Volunteering
Since we're entirely volunteer-run our staff's capacity remains fluid, which means we occasionally need extra help to meet our goals. If you're interested in working with us, you can reach out to our email below in the footer.
DJs Against Apartheid
Forward / Scratch was founded with the support of DJs Against Apartheid, a nightlife organization focused on Palestinian liberation.
