The NSW government is actively torturing four trans women in the Villawood detention centre and this shit needs to end.

My friend was denied her hrt and has been a victim of abuse and assault from both guards and the men she was forced to bunk with.

Happpy Disability Pride month!! Help your (not so local) nonbinary enigma survive!

I need help! Desperately! In a myriad of ways!!

One way to help me right now would be to help with groceries. I have mobily issues, and the rollator pictured above broke! The wheel came clean off 🙃

I don't actually know when I'll finally be called in for an assessment at wheelchair services, and I cannot afford to buy one on my own (can't work, can't have a bank account, can't open a credit card, etc)

Here's how you can help for now

Send me grocery money please 🥺🥺

Would you let a face like this survive on bread and water alone 🥺😔😔

Asking for 100£ (about 130 usd) to aid in my next grocery trip (although I have many household items I need as well)

QUEER SOLIDARITY

Kavuma Abdullah ( @kavumas-blog ) is a queer refugee from Uganda. He had to flee to Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya to escape homophobia. In Kakuma he was assaulted for his sexuality and his shelter was burnt down by homophobes. He is now in a different refugee camp.

YOU CAN HELP

Caitlin Zornes has kindly set up a gofundme for Kavuma. She will send him donations via WorldRemit. He is struggling with food and needs financial aid.

Legitimacy?

I have provided evidence here:

Thank you for reading this far through, I understand not everyone can donate. If you want to support Kavuma in other ways you can reblog, share his posts, share his gofundme to your friends or to other social media etc. I hope you can help, even in that small a way, thank you.

Christmas Funds for Refugees!

Hi all! Abdul would like some help getting money for christmas for him and his friends/fellow refugees. He says that the banks usually close around this time and people stop getting interviews to leave the country through embassy's because everyone there goes home for christmas.

So he's given me this budget a week in advance because he wants to be able to have a more special celebration with his friends. He said:

"We are looking forward to changing the type of food and make such day special and also have some happiness. Please 🙏 kindly try and donate to our group so that we can celebrate our last Christmas in camp"

He has also asked me to extend to gofundme from $6,000 to $12,000 because his group don't know when they'll leave the camp, though they're hoping it'll be early next year.

for reference, the nearly $6,000 he's raised since March has been to buy necessities like food, shelter, medicine etc for not just him but the other refugees he's been traveling with. So it's not like he currently has $6,000 because every time he got money he immediately spent it on whatever it was he needed.

I've pasted the exact text he sent me below, it has a bit more information/context if you want to hear it all in his words.

"Good morning Hun hope you woke up well am also fair though not fine I was trying to update you that I wanted to make an appointment with the hospital so that I go this week but I will confirm with them tomorrow if I am able to get the funds remaining.

Besides I wanted to ask you to extend our fundraising page goal from 6000to 12000$ as we still don't know when we shall leave camp though we hoping by early next year we shall be evacuated.

Currently they have stopped taking people to town for interviews as they are breaking off for Christmas.

Lastly I will share with you our estimated budget for Christmas and we shall put it on an update once we seat down and make it.

I wanted to Inform you earlier because here from 20th upto 28th or 31st they normally close all banks and no where to make transactions this happened to those who were here last year.

Thanks again Hun

Yours Abdul luyombya

Gorom refugee settlement South Sudan"

[every-lemon]

At the very end of the work day on Friday, the government issued a "stop work" order to refugee resettlement agencies. It affects government-funded services for people who have recently arrived in the country as refugees.

It is... hard to comprehend the cruelty here.

This specifically targets people who may have arrived *days* ago (legally, as refugees) and who receive essential services to help them thrive in the United States.

These services are things like short-term housing until they can sign their own lease (which already happens VERY quickly, like within 90 days). Things like getting the kids registered for school, access to a doctor and an intro to getting healthcare here, help finding their first job.... really, really, really basic stuff.

Definitely look up the refugee resettlement programs in your area and see what they're asking for right now. This is a HUGE crisis.

GREEN HELL

image 2: wake up & pack ur shit cause someone in the Green Hell between poland and belarus needs help. 

image 3: gotta hide in the wet bushes from border patrol, but u just navigated an hour thru swamp so it doesn't make a difference at this point. soaked is soaked.

image 4: You don't risk a headlamp in these woods. its slow going but otherwise you'd never notice the blue glow of some fungi. 

image 5: The Folks you meet don't share your language, but indicate razor wire injuries from the crossing. A red light is needed to treat the wounds, and while the rest of the group drinks the tea and trades in their soaked gear, you try to ask why they left home. Only a few recognizable words but you've heard this story before.

image 6: The next day, a local with good knowledge of the Green Hell shows you some choice forest snacks, and on your way home you pass the fence where last night's wet boots dry. This place, and the people of this place give. so. much. The forest isn't naturally a refugee meat grinder, the state had to work really hard to turn it into one.

-----

for the last few years, Poland and Belarus are chewing up people trying to make their way into the EU. maiming, starving, killing, dividing families, and imprisoning whoever doesn't match their criteria for human. Even despite changing out their last ruling party for a gentler liberaler party, Poland has been diligently performing its role in the violence outsourced to them by the rest of Fortress Europe. dedicated anarchists and grupa ganica together with other kooks, punks, sweethearts, locals and internationals have been throwing down against their own kurwa government - on this front and others. i love them hella

My refugee friend Abdul got robbed

I've been managing a gofundme for Abdul Luyombya, he's a gay refugee currently in a south sudanese camp. I've been mostly able to help him on my own since I've started working at my part time job on campus again, but all his things have been stolen and I don't have the money to help replace it.

I've raised a couple hundred dollars over the course of a few months but keep in mind that this money is gone often as soon as i give it to him, because he needs to spend it on necessities and medicine. What I'm fundraising for is the ability to keep buying him food, shelter, and clothing until he's able to be resettled.

If you can't use GoFundMe for any reason I also take donations through these other money transfer services.

Cashapp and Venmo get to me faster than Ko-fi or GoFundMe which means I can send it to him within minutes instead of days, so I deeply appreciate any donations via these apps!!
