Remember Marcellus Williams! A black Muslim man falsely accused. Remember that he's innocent. Remember that the governor of Missouri, mike Parson who had the opportunity to save this man's life, decided not to. Remember all but three supreme court justices decided his life wasn't worth saving either. Remember his face. Remember his Last words. And remember how fucked up this country is

Rest in peace Marcellus

Weeks of Sept. 21 - Oct. 5th Priority list rotation!

These are fundraisers that my vetter @moayesh has told me are high priority either due to the low amount of funds or due to the situation the person is in. If you donate to any of these, please leave a screenshot below to encourage others to donate too!

Saleh Abu Sardana: "I am creating this campaign so that I can secure my children’s future and get my life back again. I am working to achieve this with your help. The money will go to provide a decent life for my children and my wife. I hope that you will help me with this dream that did not exist before October 7 and has become a dream today. Thank you" <- Only has 65€.

Ragheb's family: "We are living in unimaginably harsh conditions. After losing home, 5 members of my family and jobs. We lost everything: our home, jobs, security. Even the devices we used to work with, due to the devastating war in Gaza. We are now living in dreadful conditions, without a stable shelter or a source of income." <- 738€.

Saadiya Masoud: Her husband and one of her children have suffered SEVERE injuries. Her husband had shrapnel lodged in his chest and her son has a spinal injury from a building collapsing on him from an air strike. Please help this family as they recover from their injuried and trauma. <- 1039 AUD.

Tawfiq Al Tatri: "Every day we move from one place to another. My house was destroyed on my family. Fortunately, we came out alive after losing many of my relatives and neighbors after the destruction of the neighborhood in which I live. Now I am trying to save my children’s lives from death and save their future." <- 1740€.

Maha Madhoun: "Eman's elderly mother enduring chronic illnesses without access to vital medication. Their escape from the relentless bombardment of warplanes, dodging bullets and navigating through a sea of injured and deceased, is a haunting ordeal etched into their memory." <- 4550$

It has been 11 months of genocide. 334 days of airstrikes and ground invasions. 481,801 minutes of innocent lives martyred one after another.

I don’t know how the world can still keep spinning as this happens right in front of our faces, or why we are letting this go on for so long, but with every passing day, it seems people become used to it, even when the victims come to us themselves asking for help.

Many of us don’t know how to handle such a huge responsibility. We may feel we are not equipped to do so. That is why you get overwhelmed when you are confronted with the victims and our complicity in it and make a decision to ignore. You become defeatist.

But you can’t do that. You have to resist because this is exactly what the settler colony wants you to feel. They do want to look away. They want you to carry on with your life (your normal) while they commit the most atrocities on the most vulnerable.

Deutschland (Germany) is a country that shows no shame in their support of the settler colony. It is up to the point where they would discriminate against the Palestinians. Even to those who stand up for them. Ava Moayeri, a German-Iranian activist, has been sent to court for chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” last month!

If she goes through this, imagine the Palestinians who want nothing more but to build a better future for themselves. My friend, Bilal Salah (@bilal-salah0), is no exception. He is 22 years old and lives in Deutschland for work, but he has faced so many difficulties. He has been on the verge of deportation, making him lose access to his job and housing. His former employer has extorted €4,800 and he is still unemployed, so he can not financially support his family back in Ghazzah. This fundraiser is all he has.

So please help him achieve €110,000 by September 20th! We are supposed to raise it today (Sept 15th), but we have failed to do so. Let's make sure this doesn't happen again! We can't let him down!

As of writing this, €105,980 has been raised! There is only €4,020 left to go! If we do the math, we need at least 804 people to contribute a minimum of €5 to succeed!

Please donate and share. Bilal’s family has narrowly survived the airstrike at the al-Masawi Camp. This fundraiser will help them purchase basic necessities until Rafah Crossing reopens and they can evacuate!

why is it when you see someone refer to “media literacy“ or “media comprehension” online they’re about to spout the stupidest interpretation of something you couldn’t even have imagined a real person believing as if it were objective fact

emily jacir, from where we come from, 2001-2003

“if i could do anything for you, anywhere in palestine, what would it be?” this question was recently posed to palestinian exiles by palestinian-american artist emily jacir. taking advantage of her ability to move about relatively freely in israel with an american passport, jacir promised to realize the desires of those forbidden entry into their homeland. a series of texts, black lettering on white panels, describes the various requests. color photographs, presented by their side, document jacir’s actualization of them.  (sfmoma)

The World Food Programme (WFP) announced on Wednesday a pause in the movement of its employees in Gaza until further notice following an attack on a team returning from an aid delivery mission on Tuesday evening, just metres from an Israeli-controlled checkpoint. “This is totally unacceptable and the latest in a series of unnecessary security incidents that have endangered the lives of WFP’s team in Gaza,” said the UN agency’s Executive Director Cindy McCain, calling on the Israeli authorities and all parties to the conflict to act immediately to ensure the safety and security of all aid workers in Gaza. Thankfully, no one was injured in the attack, WFP said. “As last night’s events show, the current deconfliction system is failing and this cannot go on any longer,��� Ms. McCain added. A “clearly marked UN humanitarian vehicle – part of a convoy that had been fully coordinated with the [Israeli Defense Forces] IDF – was struck 10 times by IDF gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows,” UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told reporters at a briefing at UN Headquarters on Wednesday.

Hello Tumblr community!

This blog has been started to document and share fundraisers vetted by @nabulsi, @el-shab-hussein, and Moh'd Ayesh. We felt it would help to create a space dedicated to this documentation process.

The fundraisers we are vetting will be added to this page as well as included in our google sheet.

We will continue to reblog and share on our personal blogs, and that will not change, but this blog will help better organize these fundraisers.

Please spread this as we'd like to start using this primarily to share newly vetted fundraisers.

~ Thank you

i understand why library e-books/online audiobooks have limited copies in terms of licensing but it still feels so silly to wait on a list for 10 weeks for something that is technically infinitely duplicable

When sorrow and difficulties strike hard, hope becomes the lone star in the dark sky. This is the story of Amira, a 23-year-old girl who found herself bearing the burden of her family after her father's death three years ago due to the coronavirus.

After my father's passing, I found myself taking care of my family, consisting of my mother, sister Noor, and brother Abdulrahman. My mother, suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes, faces health problems that further complicate their situation. But courage and determination drive Amira forward.

I worked as a teaching assistant at the university while pursuing a master's degree in data science, and also worked as a programmer in a company. My life was going smoothly until war came and destroyed everything.

My university, workplace, and home were completely destroyed, forcing them to flee south in search of a safe haven. Now, I and my family live in tents for displaced people in Deir al-Balah, where they suffer from water shortages and the spread of diseases, posing an additional challenge, especially for my immunocompromised mother.

This is a brief about our daily suffering.

Please help me, my mother, my sister and my brother to go out to treat my mother because she suffers from widespread diseases because her immunity is weak and help us to complete our educational journey, me and my brother
