On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.

Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

gay, straight, whatever. we all want someone to take us to the aquarium.

It’s so weird how hyperfixations can take over your whole life for about a month and you’re properly obsessed with that one thing until the next month comes around. Then suddenly you’re a whole new person

Save the life of my husband and children from death 🥹💔🇵🇸

Hello friends, despite the difficult circumstances we are living in, from famine and the lack of food and drink and facing death at every moment, my husband and I were exposed to direct and close bombing by Israeli warplanes😭, and as a result, my husband and I were seriously injured. My husband entered surgery and spent several days in intensive care. As a result of the injury, he lost his left eye and 70 centimeters of intestine were removed.💔😭

His condition is critical and he is now staying in the hospital and needs treatment and healthy food that is not available 🥹💔

In addition, my tent was damaged by the missile bombing and became unlivable 🥹💔

So please, I need your support and help 😭 Try to help me with any donation to provide shelter for my children and treatment for my husband.

Please, my life and the lives of my children and husband are in danger 🥹💔💔

Any donation you make will help me provide a tent or at least provide medicine and food for my husband.
