okay fresh post. please for the love of god please help my friend mohammed and the 27 family members he's providing for, their campaign is almost stagnant the last two days. there are no jobs, they have no house, they have slept on the streets and been shot and starved by the iof since last october. it is terrifying to see their gfm slowing like this because they literally have no other options for survival.

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.

If you're looking for places to donate to this November (Native American Heritage Month) my go-to is the Navajo Water Project/DigDeep. They work to bring running water to Navajo families and have a 100% rating on Charity Navigator!

new artwork by @ gunkyfrogs on instagram! i forgot to share this beautiful portrait of my friend mohamed’s family. these children love life and deserve every happiness, even in the face of the worst horrors imaginable. can you help make sure that their mother receives medical care so she can live to see them grow up?

please. palestinians are counting on your generosity and your bravery. i know so many people are in need right now and that it may feel overwhelming, but please remember that these are real living human beings. a few taps on this link makes a real difference in the lives of people who have been abandoned at the highest level by the richest govs on earth. please give something to these people. this family is so beloved by me. please love them too.

if you are watching the hell on earth unfolding in northern gaza right now, then you understand how essential it is that my friend and his young family in the middle of the strip be able to evacuate into egypt at the very moment the border crossing opens. every day they are trapped in gaza is another day closer to the gaping maw of western expansionism via extermination.

palestine lives forever, and that includes in the global diaspora. this is the cycle that genocides produces, so we may help one another when history gives us a moment of calm. please join me in practicing the skills necessary for the world to come; you can renegotiate your relationship to generosity in real time. you can give something to this fundraiser, be that money or time or effort or creative skill-sharing. you can do something. i have faith in you.

Anyway, for the last two days entire towns in southern Lebanon have been erased and 87 martyrs in Lebanon since yesterday. 40 airstrikes just this morning. In Gaza people are desperate for food. In northern Gaza more men and boys have been kidnapped and tortured by the occupation, people are forced to sleep in the cold streets, and extermination is on the horizon. The occupation has besieged northern Gaza for 32 consecutive days and israeli soldiers have executed doctors and blown up the children’s ward in hospitals. All across Gaza the bodies of martyrs continues to rise and suffering is indescribable. The occupation has invaded Jenin and its refugee camps, in the West Bank, for over two days murdering and kidnapping people, and demolishing homes, businesses and streets.

Donate to Noor immediately and help feed her family. Every $ makes a difference.

We're about to save this sweet innocent baby!

I was contacted by @khadigayousef2024 to make a post for Majd, his baby, to be saved. Majd has a very severe respiratory illness. He is unable to breathe well anymore and desperately needs treatment, which he can obviously not get while he and his parents are still stuck in Gaza.

Their campaign has been vetted, it's the campaign #143 in this spreadsheet.

They're at 90% of their total goal! Please, let's save this innocent child and his parents from all the horrors of this genocide and give this little angel a chance to survive with appropriate medical treatment!!

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Can you help Sarah and her family by sending a donation and sharing this post with a friend or family member? 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Mohammed Almanasra, his wife Manal, his son Abdulrahman, and his daughters Sarah and Lynn are in urgent need of donations. 

They are living in a tent which does not protect them from heat or cold, and are without water, food, medical care, clothing, and bedding. Mohammed suffers from chronic asthma and cannot access and afford his medication. His wife has cancer which requires immediate medical attention. His children are subject to the heat, the cold, hunger, and insects. 

This family needs your support. @save-mohamed-family

only tagging you for reach, i hope it's no bother - i love and appreciate you all

please think of the disabled people of gaza. please think of the diabetic people of gaza. please think of the neurodivergent people of gaza. please think of those whose lives are relying on medicine that has either stopped coming in due to the blockade, or is available in such scarcity that its price has skyrocketed.

we're approaching winter. on top of the challenge of securing waterproof tents and sufficiently warm clothing, some diabetic people in gaza have stopped taking their insulin as they can no longer afford it. those who are able to acquire it for now know every shot may be their last.

Urgent! Please help a father save his three young daughters from war

This family is very low on funds, with only €4,237 out of the €40,000 goal

I was reached out to by Ahed to make a post for his family. This fundraiser is vetted by Gazavetters, #229 on their spreadsheet

Ahed is a 33 year old father of three young girls with his wife Maisoon. Getting Ahed the funds to evacuate his family is very urgent because they have three children under the age of ten with them, who currently don’t have access to food, clean water, or medical treatment they need. They’re at risk of bombs, infectious illnesses, and starvation every day they remain in Gaza. every hour matters

Ahed’s daughters are the light of his life and his motivation to keep going, and he’s campaigning on here every day to keep them safe. In Ahed’s words, his daughter Fatima (9) is “the closest to my heart, and my little one.”, Iman (6) “The friendly, kind, and loving child who is loved by everyone”, and little Nour, only one year old: “Who did not live her life like other children, as she was born two months before the war”.

Imagine that you’ve just had a baby girl, and you look at her with so much love and imagine with excitement what a bright future she’ll have and how she’ll play with her siblings. And only two months later, your whole life is turned upside down, and you have to wonder every day how you’ll feed her and keep her safe.

This is what happened to Ahed and his wife when they should’ve been at their happiest with a newborn daughter, everything turned into a nightmare. Their apartment was destroyed in a bombing, they were displaced multiple times, and suddenly they were raising their beautiful daughters in a war zone.

Every hour in Gaza is dangerous. Please help get Ahed, Maisoon and their children to safety as soon as possible 🙏🏼 Every donation will bring them closer to a future where Fatima, Iman, and Nour can play together and go to school and rest and recover from what they’ve been through.

Please give Ahed and Maisoon peace where they don’t have to watch their children suffer from illness and malnutrition, the worst thing for a parent to experience.

Please let Nour experience what peace feels like.

Thank you for reading their story, if you’re not able to donate, please share so it can reach people who are able to.

Donate here to save their family

you can read/borrow multiple of Angela Davis' works through archive.org and the anarchist library, including freedom is a constant struggle, Women, race, and class, political prisoners, prisons, and black liberation (the anarchist library), Are prisons obsolete? (the anarchist library), abolition democracy, and others. and as always check yr local libraries, libby, or hoopla.

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit tired to see the constant argument that people on Tumblr do not have money to donate anymore . We're getting into the Christmas season, with people buying gifts and preparing for Black Friday yet no one can spare to give $5 to a fundraiser ?

I'm always thinking about what the team @/gazafunds posted on twitter, about how they started packing their own lunch and giving up on many things to be able to donate to fundraisers, on top of working endlessly to verify campaigns, making an managing their website etc. Why do the people most affected by the genocide are the one making the most sacrifices ? Even if you are not Arab and/or Palestinian, shouldn't you feel horrified all the same by an ethnic cleansing?

No one is asking for Tumblr users to stop their life and never buy anything ever again, but I find it very concerning to see Palestinian work to the bone to vet and support fundraisers while most people just don't care and reblog "free Palestine" posts without doing anything substantial.

It's not too late to help though. Many people would benefit from getting help, one of them being Shahed (@shahdhatem) for who donations are getting even more scarce. She's one of the kind souls who spent her time during the last year supporting other victims of genocide by treating injuries, distributing food and teaching children who couldn't go to school anymore. Please consider helping her and her family get through these horrors by donating .

some bad news from Mohammed Abu Alwan. the Zionist occupation has bombed markets very close to where the family is staying, and he’s worried that the shops won’t be open for much longer.

we need to make sure he, his wife Samar, and their three small children have the supplies they need for the winter before it’s too late. people who are already malnourished and sick can’t take the cold weather that’s coming!

If you have voted Harris today,

You have a fundamental moral obligation to donate a sum totaling 10$ to the following 3 fundraisers, all of which belong to people who have lost loved ones and in some cases their entire families due to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' actions.

Hossam Bardaweel -> entire direct family members dead.

Hazem Mohammed Al-Bardaweel -> entire direct family members dead.

Nemr Matar -> infant died.

These are people whose situations you will never understand. Have some basic decency and respect and don't make this about yourself or your guilt or anything about you. Don't even say you donated. This is about the people who will continue to lose everything as long as American empire persists. Any comments will be deleted.

(PRE-ORDER) FUNDRAISER STICKERS FOR GAZA!!

Pre-order will end on December 11, 2024 so get them while they're hot!!

GET STICKERS HERE!!!

100% of funds will be donated to families in Gaza! Check out their fundraisers below, and please consider supporting them!!

Ameera's family: They currently live in North Gaza that has been experiencing dire Israeli-made starvation. Her young kids, youngest of which is 2 years old. She has spoken to me about how she hasn't been able to find anything for her kids to eat, like milk for her baby, and getting funds would really help her afford to feed her family.

Ahmed's and Dina's family: A family with 3 kids and one newborn. Urgently needs funds for medical treatment and essential goods. With winter approaching, these funds become crucial for affording winter clothes.

Rawan's family: $8k urgently needed to help take care of her mother, who needs treatment for a tumor. The funds will also be going to support her family as they await the crossing to open for evacuation.

Alaa's family: She is trying to care for her two very young kids, the younger of which has a skin infection that needs to be treated. She is facing constant bombardment and needs help.

Aya's family: She is helping to take care of 19 family members, including 9 children.

Walid's family: Walid is 3 and has two sisters, Layan (2) and Toleen (6). He is disabled and needs treatment.

Rawan and Yemna's family: two sisters and their father who need access to essential goods to live.

All of these campaigns are equally urgent and I can understand the difficulty in choosing one to donate to, especially if you don't have much to spare.

But it's better to choose one than to let indecision keep you from choosing any.

Also, your one donation won't solve everything (unless you're a millionaire and can spare tens of thousands at a time LOL) so, and I say this in the nicest and most gentle way possible, get over yourself! Pitch in whatever you can spare like the thousands and thousands of people donating to these fundraisers every day, and acknowledge that you can't save the world BY YOURSELF - but with many others acting with you, you can make a difference!

As always, free Palestine and all oppressed peoples of the world!
