Let’s talk about Congo.

TW:: Mentions of R*pe, m*rder, etc!!

Basically, if you don’t know: The people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Or the DRC) has been suffering due to big tech companies like Apple, Alphabet Inc., Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla. They have been exploiting Congo’s land for their minerals like Diamonds, Gold, Copper, Cobalt, Tin, Tantalum and Lithium. These companies use these minerals to make phones, cars, computers and other technology.

The people of Congo are being treated like dirt, like they worth less than the colonizers stealing from them. The colonizers, which they call ‘Rebels’ have been r*ping, killing brutally, enslaving, and starving them. They are being kicked out of their land because these big tech companies want it. They’re being killed and r*ped because these big tech companies think they have the right.

This isn’t right!! So research what’s going on, tell others, spread awareness. Look up what companies are exploiting Congo and boycott. Don’t buy their stuff, keep using your phone or laptop until it’s broken and unusable.

If you want to donate: Use these websites!!

Please read and donate and share

Amplify for Congo

I have 300 followers I think maybe more - if you all donated just £2 that’s £600 right there. That’s more than enough to get one family a tent to live in so they don’t have to sleep on the floor

Follow focuscongo on Instagram they do amazing work and post lots of ways to help

Use your phone and laptop until it breaks don’t buy new technology for the sake of it. When you need a new phone because yours is actually broken get a refurbished one from websites like back market.com that’s where I got mine. I’ve had my refurbished iPhone 8 for 7 years and it works perfectly

PLEASE talk about Congo, Haiti, and Sudan, with the same fervor you give Palestine. PLEASE care about black struggle and suffering.

CBC's Donation Drive!

I am always telling others to act, and so, I've been thinking about how I can better utilize my platform to help others. My friend Ibtisam inspired me with her own idea to write thank you cards for those who are donating to lifesaving causes!

So, here's my own, LINK included!

I will be writing up to 100 thank you cards for those who donate at least $10 to any campaign or fundraising program of their choice. This can be individual GoFundMes, SudanFunds, GazaFunds, the PCRF, The Sameer Project, the Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA), Friends of the Congo... so many options. I'll take any of them. If you donate $20 or more, I'll even write you a specialized card with whatever you want (200 character max, appropriate things) !

I hope you consider taking the time to participate, and if not, at least reblogging to those who may be interested!

‼️UPDATE‼️

As things have changed, I am no longer fundraising specifically for Amal. However, I am still running a drive for a Live-Streamed lesson! If we can get to $500 in donations, I will live stream a lesson for the page!

Some tips on how to spot scammers‼️

These scams can be under the pretext for *getting medication*/*getting a group of people to a safer location* or whatever new variations that may pop up in the future!

Not all of these are telltale signs that the person is a scammer but just some things I have seen in common. Make sure to always do your own research first before reporting/reblogging!

1a. Their accounts are barely a week old and has liked nothing much but posts of people answering positively to their scams sent to your inbox

1b. Only liking/reblogging posts related to the scam they're trying to sell

2. Linking a *go fund me* but it actually leads you to their paypal account under a different name

3. Lack of precise information/vagueness. Their last few lines are always along the lines of; please donate/help where possible because all they care about is money!

4. You've interacted; reblogged/liked/commented with whatever content recently so they send you their stolen paragraph from an actual person who's in need of help. eg. Charity, free Gaza

5a. Inconsistent pronouns being used eg. Sometimes using 'i' and then switching to "them" or "they"

5b. In addition to inconsistent pronouns, there could also be randomly placed quotation or exclamation marks - meaning they copied it from someone

6. You could also try reverse google searching the images/paragraph they use by simply putting quotation mark followed by the paragraph eg. "paragraph"

7. Copying the paragraph and pasting it on Tumblr search. You'll instantly find proof by looking at others posts

8. Always check against a vetted source to know if their account is reliable

Always report scammers posts and accounts too!

As always, don't be so trusting/gullible of everything you see online! Always check its legitimacy before liking/reblogging or asking others to help them out!

Not everyone is a scammer, but it's important donations go to people who actually need it!!

Reblogs are appreciated to help spread awareness 🙏🏼 With that said, Free Palestine, Congo, Haiti, Hawai’i, Sudan

PRO PALESTINIANS 🇵🇸 we must also bring awareness to Congo ! They are going through a silent genocide

LINK TO DONATE ⬇️ to fund doctors who will directly help women who are being r@ped daily and help them heal physically so they can have dignity and as normal a life as humanly possible

What is happening is barbaric and disgusting and I’m ashamed that I have only just learnt about this so recently. I’m sure like me none of you knew about this either (in the West) but now we know we have to talk about it. Keep talking about Palestine but talk about Congo too and Sudan

[mileenaxyz]

I love this man. He's really on the ground, building shelters, feeding and clothing people. 🥹 He's working tirelessly in Congo.
