HR 9495 is going back up for voting. All non-profit orgs are in danger.

The Committee on Rules is meeting at 1600 EST on 18 Nov 2024. The agenda includes HR 9495.

If this bill passes, the Secretary of the Treasury would have the power to strip any non-profit group of it's tax-exempt status with no due process.

If you are part of the fandom community and you are in America, please contact your reps and ask them to vote NO on HR 9495.

i’m here speaking on behalf of mahmoud. (@ma7moudgaza2)

i talk to mahmoud every day, and honestly? the situation he’s in terrifies me. i could not imagine what he’s going through, and the fact that he has no escape haunts me.

to those of you reading this who need to hear it;

i understand that activism burns a lot of people out. it’s stressful to fight. it’s terrifying to be in palestine, in congo, in sudan right now. it’s exhausting to help fight, day after day after day. but you need to keep helping. sit down for a second of you need it, and then stand up, dust off your clothes, and keep on walking.

the world will not be rebuilt in a day. but we keep fighting nonetheless.

back to the post:

i had to edit a lot of what mahmoud said, for both conciseness and clarity. but here is the exact copy.

“Oh Lord...” was the last word I said before going to sleep, and it came out of me with a flame of burning and fear. I prayed and sat in my tent, looked up at the sky through the cracks of the tent, and recalled what had happened during the year. My tears flowed, my head began to hurt, and suffocation was killing my chest.   I usually turn on the internet after dinner, but tonight I didn't want to. I wanted to go out, but where should I go? for whom?

Imagine yourself in my place. Around 20 members of my family, I remembered my beautiful memories and the news of my friends’ death. My body shook and I sat on the floor, and the screams of my mother and sisters filled the place. I wanted to sleep and didn't want to wake up.  I remembered how I walked with 10 children from north to south. The responsibilities I carry are greater than I can handle. I remembered searching for a home for my family, standing in line to get food, and how upset the people closest to us were.

I woke up to my mother’s voice asking me: “What’s wrong with you, Mahmoud?” I went out, but I felt strange and I came back and sat at the tent door feeling suffocated.  I reassured myself of returning, but I remembered that our house had been bombed, and there was nothing left. I put the pillow on my head and said, “Lord, you are hers.”  I woke up today and we were afraid, but thank God, nothing happened. I wasn't going to work, but I was encouraged.  I'm really suffocated and I have nothing. The only thing left is the money from the fundraising campaign you launched. I was hesitant to ask for help, but now I have no choice.

I ask you for help. $10 could save me and my family. If you can't, participate in the campaign. You are the only hope.

if mahmoud’s story doesn’t speak to you, i don’t know what i can say that can.

Hanan(@hanangaza1), her husband, and their three children(Lana, 10 years old, Abdul Karim, 7 years old, Adam, 2 years old) need help.

This family has been through a lot. Their house was bombed while they were inside, they lost their source of income, the children are terrified, the tent they live in doesn't protect them from the weather. Hanan just wants to be with her family again, and they need money for survival. If you can, please donate to their GoFundMe, even if it's not much. If you can't, then please share it. This fundraiser has been vetted by @gazavetters and @90-ghost Thank you for reading!

HELP HAYA AND FAMILY

Dear friends, this is your friend Hussam, speaking to you today with a heavy heart and deep humility. I reach out to you in this moment of desperation, as our large family faces the relentless grip of winter in Gaza, a time when the harsh realities of war weigh heavily upon us. I implore you to open your hearts and extend your hands in support. Our children, innocent and full of dreams, are in dire need of your compassion. Even the smallest contribution can make a world of difference in providing the basic necessities of life that we so desperately lack.

The image I share with you reveals our harsh reality: we are living in a makeshift tent, crafted from thin fabric curtains that do little to shield us from the biting cold and relentless winter rains. Please, let us not suffer in silence. Your kindness can bring warmth and hope to our lives during this bleak season. Together, we can create a brighter tomorrow for our family and countless others in need. Thank you for considering our plea.

Your donation can make a difference: Donate Now 🙏❤️

accepting that you’re objectively weird & owning it is infinitely better than being constantly desperate to appear normal to people who don’t even matter to you
