We’re committed to engaging kindly and professionally with those we work with. We believe in structure, deadlines, accountability, and clear, respectful communication.

We are committed to transparency, gorgeous design, transformative literary events, and creating a deeply connected and meaningful community. We will take on only what we can do brilliantly.
Freedom Tunnel Press supports work that challenges oppression and amplifies underrepresented writers and artists. Many members of the FTP family have long been engaged in decolonial and antiracist work, supporting resistance and relief for oppressed communities and bearing witness through story and art.
We do not support the genocide in Palestine. We are appalled by the U.S. government’s continued support of Israel’s apartheid regime and military campaign in Gaza. We stand with the Palestinian people and call on institutions to divest from systems that sustain this violence. We stand firmly against both antisemitism and Zionism.
We do not support the illegal wars in Iran and Lebanon perpetrated by the U.S. and Israel.
We stand in solidarity with transgender communities in India and oppose the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, which undermines the right to self-determined identity by placing it under state control. Identity is not something to be certified or approved—any system that makes dignity conditional erodes freedom itself.
