Media Justice for Palestine
Genocide is made possible through the propaganda and misinformation peddled by the mainstream media to a [Western] public to keep them misinformed and afraid, all while silencing the voices and truths of Palestinians.
As a response, Slow Factory built our Media Justice campaign to correct this narrative and advocate for human rights. We raised over $40,000 in community donations with 100% of the funds used to run a massive billboard truck campaign across six major American cities along with 10 standing billboards across the city of Los Angeles.

SXSW: Notable Moment
Slow Factory was invited to speak at the 2024 SXSW festival, but after learning about the conference’s new heavy ties to the US Department of Defense and weapons manufacturers, SXSW received backlash from Palestine and human rights supporters — over 80 artists withdrew from the 2024 festival in support of Palestine after Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
In solidarity, Slow Factory refused to enter the SXSW venue where we were scheduled to speak, and instead ran a Media Justice Billboard Truck outside the building and throughout the festival.
SXSW insiders have confirmed that Slow Factory’s action and amplification, in conjunction with collective actions, caused SXSW to discontinue its partnership with the US military and defense contractors for its 2025 festival.
