Help me to save my family

https://gofund.me/363ae8ca

My name is Mahmoud, and today I am writing about my family

I’m husband and father of two children we evacuated at the beginning of the war. but my family is still suffering inside Gaza

My family was a beautiful, cheerful family that loved life and they love each other.

We have children are make fun and they the source of happiness for home

Until one day, the sounds of explosions overtook them. Days passed, and these days were very difficult for everyone in the family. Suddenly, my father fell ill, and it was determined that he was suffering with cancer, and needed surgery outside the Gaza Strip. But, because of the situation, he was unable to leave Gaza for treatment — eventually, due to lack of medical care and after suffering with his symptoms, he died. Five days after my father death, his children (my brothers- and sisters) were injured after their home was targeted. My brother suffered a double amputation of his feet and one hand, and his other siblings were injured as well, including a severe back injury.

My family suffers under these difficult situation and they have been displaced several times in more than one place.

The money raised will go towards evacuation fees for my family of 16 members : 8 adults and 8 children. I hope everyone will help my family, and help them receive the urgent medical care they need.

Israel is mass murdering the innocent civilians of Lebanon, especially children.

On Monday (23 September, 2024) Israel killed one person in the country every three minutes.

Thousands more civilians have been wounded.

The British Film Institute (BFI) plans a redundancy that would end the 17-year-old African Odysseys programme.

African Odysseys was set up in 2007 by Black community activists who were already showing films at various London venues. The idea was to give a singular home to those films, advise and help the BFI show African diaspora content and bring an underserved Black audience to the venue. The African Odysseys Steering Committee, a voluntary group, researches and suggests films/themes, advises on guests/scheduling, develops audiences and uses their community networks to advertise and promote Black films at the Southbank.

The programme was co-founded by Tony Warner from Black History Walks and David Somerset of the BFI. It has been a phenomenal success, bringing tens of thousands of new people to the BFI and greatly improved its reputation amongst the Black community. Before then brilliant directors like Menelik Shabbaz had problems getting his films shown there and many Black people did not know where the BFI Southbank was.

The programme runs at least once a month but often has multiple screenings/seasons like Ousmane Sembene, Horace Ove, Raoul Peck and Black and Banned. It also hosts talks and workshops on topics like Black Cowboys, the Harlem Renaissance, deaths in custody, African Spirituality, Aboriginal civil rights, Kenyan concentration camps and classical composers. In association with US film studio owner Tim Reid, the programme offered subsidised training for young filmmakers.

AO is a unique grassroots and institutional collaboration that screens educational and anti-racist films. There is nothing like it in Europe. It has a fantastic almost 20-year track record of great events, informative Q&A and packed houses of up to 450 people.

However, in June 2024 the Steering Committee learned that the Education/Film Programmer, Adult Community role held by Somerset, who has curated and championed the AO programme for 17 years, would be made redundant. The BFI’s sudden decision to delete the post would end the programme.

This was a surprise because on 29 August 2023 the Steering Committee had met with senior management who agreed, amongst other things, to start planning for the 20-year anniversary of African Odysseys in 2026, to include over 100 AO titles to the online BFI iPlayer and make it reflect the decades of AO films, address the exclusion of AO from the BFI magazine, Sight and Sound, and provide more resources.

That meeting was a result of two previous protest letters from the Steering Committee about poor treatment of African Odysseys. The first letter was sent to CEO Ben Roberts on 23rd June 2020 and a follow-up letter was sent on 5th May 2023 as there had been little improvement. For example, Sight and Sound has never done a feature on African Odysseys or interviewed any of the committee despite consistent full houses, unique films and outstanding events like the Terry Jervis story, Black Lives Matter season, the Darcus Howe Black British Civil Rights series or Black Women in Broadcast Journalism.

While AO Steering Committee were communicating their grievances, the BFI was in the news for systemic racism as reported by Rachel Hall in the Guardian on 27th March 2023 and by Jake Kanter in Deadline on the same day. The BFI still has a predominantly white management structure which recently underwent diversity training.

The decision to delete the post came as a complete shock and was taken without consultation with the AO committee. According to the BFI, the proposed deletion is to ‘save money and promote diversity’.

The committee raised several concerns about the implications of this decision, including:

· The absence of a dedicated individual to oversee the 48 weeks of work required to maintain AO.

· The potential loss of 17 years of experience curating African diaspora film.

· The detrimental impact on the loyal Black audience cultivated through years of outreach.

· The decision seemed illogical from both a cost-saving and diversity perspective, as expert consultation, marketing, and promotion had been provided at no cost, consistently attracting diverse, full-capacity audiences in all three cinemas.

The BFI said that they highly valued African Odysseys and considered it integral to their work. However, they could not explain how AO would continue without this role, nor the contradiction between what was said at the meeting of August 2023 and this 2024 position.

Despite being involved in racial scandals last year the BFI had not considered doing a Race Equality Impact Assessment as part of this process.

When the Steering Committee met with BFI management on 2nd July, they argued that a REIA was essential. This was agreed but two weeks later the BFI said they did not think ‘race was an issue’ in the decision, therefore a REIA was not necessary. The Committee disagreed and was told ‘no progress was being made’ but the BFI would pick the topic up in November. Requests for a breakdown of permanent staff by race, rank and time in post at Sight and Sound among other statistics were ignored.

In the week of 16th September, the committee learned that the redundancy was going ahead, and the post would end within three months.

This should not be happening at a taxpayer-funded institution dedicated to preserving film history barely two months after racist riots and just before Black History Month.

A rare film on legendary Jamaican poet/novelist, Claude McKay, will soon be screened following an equally rare film ‘Who in da Morning’ about Junkanoo, neither of which has been shown anywhere in the country. These types of films plus Q&As would no longer happen if the post is deleted.

AO put BFI on the global map as a monthly home, outside of annual festivals, for films like Walter Rodney, Toussaint L’Ouverture, Forward Ever Grenada, Errol Barrow Freedom fighter. Kalushi, Besouro, the Marcus Garvey story and Once upon a time when we were Coloured, giving Black filmmakers and audiences frequent access to a mainstream venue.

We call upon the BFI to immediately reverse this decision to prevent a catastrophic loss of Black history archive and cause immense, ongoing damage to community relations.

So what happens when you can't extract more from either and they're both equally likely to kill you and your families? Bc that's what Arab-Americans are looking at right now. The deaths of their direct family members across the pond, and both a current and two potential future administrations that do not care about them or their lives. So what do you say to them to convince them? You promise them nothing, tell them that their lives are worth nothing, and are mad they're giving that energy back to you. Enraged that they don't entertain your entitlement.

And stop tossing the word "leftist" up when you're clearly not one.

these are already zionazis with the respondent seen using ableist slurs so you can't expect much but just want to say how cartoonish the racism is. that's a vetted account (campaign here) but even if it wasn't that's literally a normal documented palestinian name. and mocking a foreigners english on top of that

some of y’all are incredibly uncomfortable with decolonization and it shows

[bobanchikn-reblogs]

Idk if this is a new opinion or not, whatever, but I have to say it becomes clearer to me with every passing day that the only reason the demonstrations of 2020 were so large was because of COVID. y'all had nothing else to do. Which is half a reflection on our society- a tired, hungry populace will focus on their stomachs- but is also a reflection of just how much people actually care. Because in theory, Marcellus' death should kick off an entire new run of real protests. Instead, four years later, we're rationalizing genocides. So... So much for that progressive wave.

Speaking of protests, if ONLY there weren't multiple large scale multi-million dollar projects being spearheaded with bipartisan support that were meant to teach COPS how to take down large movements! If ONLY people *cough* Black activists *cough* had been talking about this for quite some time as the response to the unfinished and undelivered on efforts of 2020!

🚨Time is running out save us🚨

We need your help. 🙏😔🍉🍉

It has literally been a whole year and we are suffering from the woes and groans due to the brutal and barbaric war we are living through

.Suddenly our lives have been turned upside down. We suffer every day. We are persecuted every day because of the war and the siege.

In this war that ended all our dreams and hopes of living in safety and achieving our academic dreams and others

We suffered from the lack of food until we had to eat animal feed.

We suffered from the lack of clean drinking water due to war and pollution. We live in an environment full of diseases.

My brother suffered from jaundice, a disease for which there is no treatment in Gaza due to the siege and the lack of hospitals and clinics.

Yes, we suffer every day, and here I am, knocking on the door of help for those who have a conscience, a heart, and feelings towards us.

This is a small part of what we have lived and what we live every day.
