PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST
If you’re living in the US and reading this right now, I need you to know that if republicans take over office this next election, human rights are as good as dead.
The Heritage Foundation, a major Republican think tank, has published a 1,000 page document detailing how they want conservatives to take over the government and what they think should be done as soon as they’re in office. It is, in a nutshell, a call for fascism.
If you’re trans, know that one of the things it includes is basically banning trans people from having our existence acknowledged and it’s worded in a way where you could reasonably understand it to mean that being trans and going out in public is enough to get you put in jail for exposing minors to porn.
If you’re an immigrant, sanctuary cities are also going to be dead under this plan as district attorneys who don’t enforce the federal laws they plan to implement will be charged with crimes as well and they’re banking on them not being willing to pay the fines they’d be charged with in order to protect you.
If you care about climate change and safety regulations, kiss the regulations goodbye and prepare to watch the environment slowly get destroyed.
Here’s a link to the video I watched on this
Here’s a PBS article on it
Here’s where you can read the whole thing if you’re so inclined
Hi, I hope you're doing well.
I'm writing to you with a heavy heart and an urgent request for help. My family is in a very dangerous situation due to the ongoing war, and I've launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them.
Could you please share my campaign post from my profile? Each share could be a lifeline for my family. 🙏 Feel free to share it in any other social media platform if you would like.
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you in advance for all of your support and kindness.
The organizer of this campaign, Hind Al-Madhoun (who is Ghada's cousin), can be found on Facebook, with Ghada clearly in the friends list.
Here, attempts to spread her campaign have also been made
The account is not recent, and has been up since at least 2015.
Save the children of Gaza 🇵🇸🍉
As you know, our life was beautiful, our home, but now there is no margin for life, and we hope that you will return something of it😭🇵🇸

Vetted by @gaza-evacuation-funds
Samir's condition is deteriorating and his siblings are forced to watch on, helplessly.
Because of his leg injury, Samir would not be able to evacuate if he got the order to do so. This makes his condition particularly sensitive.
We still have hope that he will be able to flee to Egypt and undergo an operation to save his leg, but his campaign is stagnating severely.
Please consider donating to his campaign here or sharing it with others if you can't, along with the vetting link (#428 on the list).
Hello everyone,
Brazil is underwater, and we come here asking you for your help.
As some of you may know, the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) has been getting torrential rains since last Monday (29/04/24).
In four days, it has rained 436,2 millimeters (17,2 inches), which’s triple the normal amount in a month, which is 140 millimeters (5,5 inches)
More than two great rivers in our region had their volume duplicated, or sometimes, triplicated in size.
This means all the cities that are close to these rivers ended up completely underwater
There were more than 110 towns flooded and the estimate is that more than half a million people have been affected by this climate disaster. There are also thousands of people who are arriving in my city (the state capital, Porto Alegre) as climate refugees, coming from communities displaced by the floods.
Through this unprecedented tragedy we have been really happy to see entire communities mobilizing to help others. Still, there are people who have lost everything, especially those in marginalized communities living in precarious, unsafe and unsanitary housing.
That’s where you come in. We need money. Money to buy food, clothes, medicine, basic hygiene products, mattresses so that refugees have a place to sleep, basically everything.
Right now, the biggest demand is drinkable water: my city is almost completely out of water, because the water treatment stations have been flooded.
We understand that you may be able to give very little, but also what is little to you means A Lot more to us. Just a dollar is enough to buy 5 liters of fresh water.
Here are the links for international donations:
(these donations are managed by people I know and trust. if you can, donate to them and not the government, but I’ll include that below as well. we don't trust the government to do anything right now, basically)
This is another option:
Government donations:
And here is some international news coverage of what’s happening:
PLEASE share and donate anything you can. Everything is greatly appreciated.
btw the palestinian children’s relief fund is currently running a fundraiser & is more than halfway to their goal of $10,000 !
here’s a link for anyone who is willing & able to donate, please share so it can reach more people, especially as the weather grows colder & these children are desperately lacking resources.
(at $5,314 / $10,000 as of December 1)
