while i am very scared for my american friends, especially my trans, immigrant, and muslim friends, i can't help but remember that the genocide in gaza is still happening. they are already facing the worst case scenario that we will only get a short glimpse of while trump is in office. and he promises to do worse, hard to fathom as it is.

i never had any faith in the democratic party but with the federal government now entirely run by republicans i hope we can all wake up to the fact that we cannot trust it to help anyone. we have to care for each other ourselves.

which is why i'm asking you guys to donate to palestinian, lebanese, sudanese, and congolese fundraisers whenever possible. this post will center on my friend @ahmedpalestine. he's a close childhood friend of hazem khalil, who i also posted for in the past, but his campaign isn't receiving even a fraction of the support. he's vetted by @bilal-salah0 and gaza-evacuation-funds.

ahmed's cousin was martyred in september. they're stuck in al-maghazi camp on the coast of gaza, where there is a tank invasion and intense bombing. he told me he is now struggling to focus on school because every waking moment is spent worrying about his family. franky it's insulting that has to continuously beg online. he has no time for this. we have to do it for him

donate here.

as disappointing as things are turning out to be re: us politics, it's no time to lose hope. defeatism does not help palestinians who are suffering daily.

if you want to make a real, tangible difference in someone's life, please consider donating to my friend asmaa's (@asmaayyad2) campaign.

she shouldn't have to share snippets of what she's enduring since it's frankly violating - but people are more inclined to listen and pay attention so here are some updates since the last time i made a post:

her health is worsening, and she is tasked with helping find whatever food she can find for her family of 8 - which you can see is not much, and it costs exorbitant prices which eats into her fundraising money.

her campaign has been stagnant in the last week or so, with only €5 donated in the last 4 hours. she is verified & vetted by @/90-ghost @/nabulsi, and her campaign was #43 on gazavetters' list. please donate and help my friend reach safety/get medical treatment.

€27,923 / €45,000 raised (11/06/24)

asmaa made it to her next thousand! thank you all. let's keep the momentum going! donate & share! get the word out to your friends or anyone you think may be able to help.

€28,033 / €45,000 raised (11/06/24)
