If you agree that indigenous communities can and should speak for themselves, here’s a concrete way you can contribute — and a story that should give you a lot of hope.
I am in Panama now (March-April 2026) and just came back from Darién, it’s eastern region known for its biodiversity.
Together with Ulu Films, an Indigenous film collective, we conducted two-day workshops on storytelling, video production, and social media, as requested by the Wounaan Indigenous community there.
How does that relate to you?
If you’ve reached this page, and if you know and trust my work, I have a very concrete invitation for you: to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities as they acquire the tools and training needed to tell their own stories.
Why is this capacity important?
As the Wounaan community members told us themselves, it’s to be able to preserve the knowledge that’s disappearing, to share their history and culture, to produce community journalism, and to use the beautiful crafts that so many people make here as another form of livelihoods.
What Ulu Films does – together with other Indigenous-led partners in Panama – is work directly with Indigenous communities by providing workshops, producing videos, and collaborating with other Indigenous media producers to tell stories.
That’s why financially contributing to their work is a concrete way to amplify indigenous voices.
Hence, my invitation to you.
(I also provide more direct ways to transfer your donations to me, so please don’t click on the buttons right away)
I invite you to contribute any amount, which I will then pass to the team, while I am still in Panama and can meet with Ulu’s team (April 20).
IF YOU’D LIKE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION AFTER APRIL 20, 2026, GET IN TOUCH WITH ME DIRECTLY VIA JPOSKEVICIUTE[AT]GMAIL[DOT]COM.
The default amount is only a suggested amount. Any contribution you make will support Ulu’s work with Indigenous communities through workshops and short documentary production.
If you have a European bank account or can easily transfer money to such accounts, I invite you to make a transfer directly to my bank by April 20, 2026. Please leave Ulu as a reference.

Needless to say, I will report back on how much we are able to collect together by mid-April ✊🏽
Thank you in advance for contributing or spreading the word – it all matters!

- A Conversation with Author Benjamin Moser You Have to Watch
Watch an excellent conversation on Deep Dive Palestine with author Benjamin Moser and Irish journalist Barry Malone. It is one powerful deconstruction of Zionism that I invite you to amplify. Benjamin Moser is excellent, please add him to your list of public intellectuals you follow. - The Presidential Election in Brazil Is Not about Left vs. Right: It’s about Democracy vs. De-Democratisation
When antidemocratic forces are strong in a democratic state, and when they participate in electoral politics, each major election might be the country’s last. This is not an exaggeration in Brazil as it chooses between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro today. - My Country Was about to Host a Counter-Disinformation Conference. Then, It Withdrew from It, Not to Anger the Trump Administration
Fighting disinformation is important, but what if your strategic partner doesn’t want you to talk about its own disinformation practises? This was a question for my country, Lithuania. It’s answer? After being pressured by the Trump Administration, to withdraw from #Disinfo2026. - Three Years of Genocide: How Do We Emerge?
In my episode, I share a quote I saw many years ago on the apartheid wall in Bethlehem. It’s a quote that has stuck with me ever since – but it’s also a quote we need to modify after three years of the genocide in Gaza. - The Machine That Swallows Children
We cannot say we care for the wellbeing of children and allow the U.S. war machine to keep on exterminating them via bombs, drones, or inhumane sanctions. - I Hope My Country Loses At The European Court of Human Rights
My country, Lithuania, has been the tiniest greatest ally of Israel, strengthening collaboration with its fascist government for years. Now, it has refused to investigate one of its former soldiers and is taken to an international court for it. - Interview with War Reporter Luca Steinmann
Hear from a war reporter about the war in Ukraine, the role of diplomacy, what it means to critically consume the media, and what our antiwar work demands. I invite you to watch my long-format interview with independent journalist Luca Steinmann. - If You’re Not Defending The Survival of Our Planet, Know That Someone Is
There is the uncomfortable truth about the health of our planet: people lose their lives protecting it. The violence, theft, and plain murder that surrounds it are dangers that a only small group of people face, compared to the benefits of protected ecosystems shared by all. Yanuni is a film about one its protectors – and an invitation to join our collective fight. - The Desire for Normalcy by Those Who Have Normalised Inhumanity
What does it mean to seek normalcy when you are from a country that has normalised mass murder and complete inhumanity? And what does it mean for us when that mass murder is normalised by our governments, too?
