Additionally, she serves on the board of directors for the Media Freedom Foundation, overseeing Project Censored.
Throughout her career, Abby has been dedicated to shedding light on the Palestinian struggle, bringing attention to numerous human rights abuses, and exposing war crimes perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians in occupied Palestine.Collaborating with journalists in Gaza, Abby Martin co-produced the documentary “Gaza Fights For Freedom,” overcoming the challenges of reporting behind blockaded border. The film delves into the significant Great March Of Return protests, a weekly occurrence from March 2018 to December 2019, while also exploring broader aspects. Beyond documenting the protests, it narrates the historical and contemporary narrative of Gaza, incorporating rare archival footage to reveal untold history often overlooked by mainstream media.
