Maybe you shouldn’t have responded to people’s despair over a genocide with barely concealed contempt?

The way voting discourse gets this time of year is deeply exhausting because I don't think we should spend this much time thinking about it so here is a concrete thing you should do instead of posting about voting:
Open the search engine of your choice
Type in the name of your city or county.
Type in an issue that you care about the most
And then type in the word "organizing." Or maybe something like "preparedness" or "solidarity."
Spend twenty minutes going through the results until you find something that feels resonate with your values. Maybe it's a nonprofit. Maybe it's a scrappy mutual aid group with a twitter account. Doesn't matter. Find something that's more organized and consistent than a one-off protest.
If there's not results, that's okay. Think of another issue or expand your geographic area. Maybe into look into a national organization.
Send them an email! Ask how you can get involved. Tell them your time restrictions, any skills you have. Ask what they need.
(if contacting a group feels risky at all, make a proton mail account and don't use your real name; there are plenty of mutual aid groups where everyone is definitely using a pseudonym and that's fine!)
Maybe send a few emails, if you like multiple organizations or aren't sure.
Follow up if you haven't heard back in a week. Organizations can get busy but they do need you!!
I'm a paid organizer now but whenever I move on to a different career, I will continue to do organizing work as a volunteer. I've also done mutual aid and attended protests. I'm working on getting involved in disaster preparedness in my neighborhood.
Organizing groups always need more people to help and being involved in something meaningful in your community will save you. Literally it will save you from despair. There are multiple ways of doing this - sometimes what people need is help with social media and you don't even need to leave your room. Whatever you do, you will develop new skills, you will find people who care about the things you care about, you will refine your own political beliefs through concrete action.
Regardless of the outcome of any given election, there is so much work to be done in the world and every single person who decides that they want to do that work opens the door to more possibility and begins to create the conditions for that new world we all want to see so desperately.
Don't let anyone convince you the best you can offer the world is your vote. The world needs your voice and hands and dreams and anger and laughter and creativity. It needs you.

The only thing worse than having a job is not having a job. And the only thing worse than not having a job is looking for a job. And the only thing worse than looking for a job is being 19 years old.

I'm from Gaza(under the war)💔 🇵🇸
I am Yousef Al-Yazji, a young Palestinian living in Gaza, 27 years old, married and the father of a child born in war named Alaa,
Im ,A young man groom prevented him from being happy with his marriage, his new home, or his new life as a father 💔
The war fell on us and with his coming my life changed for the worse, I no longer have a house, no car, not even work 💔
Hello, I am Mona, yousef's wife. My son was born in the war between tents, and I will not be able to describe to you how many suffering I suffered during and after birth. The war came before a year passed since our marriage. We have not rejoiced in our home yet.We were displaced from the north of Gaza to the south of fear of leaving our home and our dreams, we only took some of the things that we could carry and we went on to run fleeing from fear until we reached the south of Gaza and now
⛺️💔my husband and I live in a tent
Please help me with your donations ..... 🚨
https://gofund.me/e98bf79a
Please help me as you can .😣

Day 326 of the war on Gaza💔🥹
Please don't skip!🥹🙏
A family trapped in Gaza appeals for help to survive
A call for help from Gaza: A family searching for safety
Hello, I am Mahmoud Al-Sir, married to Sherine Hussein, and I live with my father and mother
We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair
We struggle daily to survive in an environment full of threats and dangers.
I lost my source of livelihood, which made me unable to provide for my family's needs and ensure their safety. The war destroyed our home, forcing us to flee repeatedly and making us homeless.
e are now facing great difficulty in providing a safe place to live, clean clothes, and food. In addition, my father suffers from asthma and needs constant treatment, and my mother had an eye operation earlier, and the summer heat and cooking over a fire greatly affected her eyes.
Our only hope now is to escape this ongoing nightmare and find a safe haven for our family. However, this requires huge financial costs. The coordination fee to cross the border is $5,000 per adult, an amount I cannot afford alone
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the costs necessary to escape to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for my family and ensure their safety.
We desperately need your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your concern and support during these difficult times.

Today we took our little son to the hospital because he suffers from a chest infection that affects his breathing and causes him pain. I hope that every living conscience will help us save our young son’s life and donate any amount you can.
Unfortunately, there is no treatment in the hospital for my young son. Help us before it is too late.

so many public resources are going into directly supporting and aiding this genocide. our tax money is going towards this. i aim this mostly at other americans but so many countries are providing aid or support to israel it could easily apply to others
when so many resources are directly going to the destruction of gaza and the extermination of the palestinian people, think about how much you could direct towards helping a family survive this genocide.
mohammed @save-mohamed-family has already lost so much in this war. his entire immediate family–his parents, his four sisters and all their family were killed by israeli bombings. he lost his job, his home, basically everything from his life before the war. he’s displaced many times with his wife and three young children, living in unbearable conditions and suffering from injury and disease that they struggle to treat because the idf has destroyed the heath system. read more in his own words here
our government is actively supporting this and using your and my money to continue this horror. please consider how much you can put back to helping him and his family survive this genocide. every donation makes a difference
this is #192 on the Vetted Gaza Fundraiser List
$1,988 out of $50,000
