Ceasefire In Gaza NOW!

Ceasefire In Gaza NOW!

Resources and action items to call for an end to the violence in Gaza.

I haven’t seen this linked on here so: this is an awesome resource for how you can help the people in Palestine. It has donation links, helps you figure out how to contact your representatives, and a regularly updated list of planned protests. It is USAmerican centric but the list of protests is international.

I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.

but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.

telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.

Help a Black single mom keep her car

I’m an organizer with KC Tenants, Kansas City’s tenant union. One of the leaders on our Hotline team needs help by 10/19 to keep her car. If she loses her car, she won’t have a safe or affordable way to get to work, or reliable transportation for her kids.

Dani called our Hotline when she was in a homeless shelter herself, and she is deeply invested in building power with her community, having spent hundreds of hours calling other renters experiencing housing crises, connecting them with resources and inviting them into our union. She’s an incredible person and a vital member of our team.

We’re almost 25% of the way to the $2100 needed, please donate and/or share — even $5 is huge. 💛

hope is a skill

i hate this fucking "i'm just a girl" brand of feminism bc it is so easy for young women in their 20s who are afraid of big changes and personal growth to revert to depending on their gender and the associated fragility of it so that they can make it through life when really they're just trapping themselves in a position where they cannot and will not grow out of that fear.

ID: tweet by @ babadookspinoza that reads, “Loving deeply is the only way to accommodate the knowledge of so much suffering. Our love grounds us in the world and allows our hearts to grow more responsive rather than shriveling and hardening to avoid further pain. There’s no going back for any of us, but there is a choice.”

how much do you think copaganda has influenced mens' idea that women are always believed about abuse and have it easy?

when I was younger I watched SVU to imagine a world where the cops didn't call my mom hysterical for reporting a violent rapist (with a criminal record including rape) violating a no-trespassing order, my own father. those men in uniform believed everything he said and I will never forget that day or the fact that most women don't even try to report rape because of how the cops react, or how the rapist will react.
