She turned around and fixed her bright eyes on me and it was like when on summer nights I used to lie down by the cancel and look up at the sky. The dizziness of stars. I didn't know looking into another person's eyes could feel like that.

Simple things you can do right now to support Gaza if you can't strike by staying home from work/school

queue posts about Palestine to regularly post throughout the week to keep them visible. Check tags like: #strike for gaza, #free gaza, #ceasefire now. I'm going to share posts from Bisan and other Palestinians on instagram.

don't spend money on nonessentials. if you didn't have time to prepare for the strike and still need to get groceries/medicine/etc, get it now to prepare for not spending the rest of the week! striking for even part of the week is better than not participating at all.

read bit.ly/StopGazaGenocide, this is a document put together by the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) with lots of good information and graphics and link to art you can freely use to spread awareness. There is also a link to email your representatives to urge them to stop supporting the occupation and the email is pre-generated! it took me one minute to send emails!

email your representatives that you are striking for Palestine!

keep talking about Palestine. keep reading about Palestine. keep caring about Palestine. If you make even one person pay attention, you've done good work! keep going!

Do what you can! Doing ANYTHING is better than doing nothing.

Some relevant movies and tv shows that should be boycotted:

Stranger Things: Noah Schnapp claimed zionism is sexy and Hamas is ISIS and liked videos on twitter mocking Palestinian people; actor Brett Gelman and producer Shawn Levy are zionists and both support Schnapp

The Last Of Us: israeli politics in The Last Of Us Part 2; Neil Druckmann openly supports israel

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Rick Riordan, the author of the books has made zionist comments neutral to Israel and the genocide

The Umbrella Academy: Aidan Gallagher openly supported Israel on instagram with a post "I stand with Israel", post is now deleted

Deadpool 3: Shawn Levy, the director of the movie is a zionist

Dune 2: Timothee Chalamet made a joke on SNL about the genocide in Palestine

Any Disney movies and shows including Inside Out 2, PJO, The Eras Tour movie, Moana 2, Marvel content: Disney is funding Israel, it has been announced that a new Israeli superhero will be joining the MCU

If you support Palestine, boycott zionist companies and stop funding them. Besides, there are many ways to watch the newest movies without paying a cent.

Please feel free to add more movies and shows with source links! 🍉

I realized that I have yet to make a post about the strike tomorrow, so I figured I should get on that.

I will be striking tomorrow and all throughout the week of Feb 18-25th and you need to as well.

Some things I didn't cover personally last time that I wanted to cover here:

Why are we striking?

As most people are aware, there is an ethnic cleansing going on in Gaza. Now more than ever, it is important to draw attention to the large numbers of innocent citizens being murdered daily. We need to let companies and those in power know that this is unacceptable and we can't stand by while these atrocities are committed. This strike is mostly designed to disrupt things to bring the situation to the attention of those with the power to change something.

What can you do?

Stay home from work/school

Only go out for necessary reasons

Only purchase things that you need, and purchase with cash if you can.

Donate to charities, or buy from companies that actively support palestine

Specifically boycott companies that support Israel

Spread the word, let everyone know that you are on strike

(let me know if I missed anything)

What if I can't do (insert thing)?

People are asked to do what they can. That means that if one of the things you are supposed to do for the strike is impossible, then that is okay. For example, if taking the whole week off of work would lose your job, and you cannot afford to do that, then you are not breaking the strike by continuing to work.

What charities can I donate to?

There are a lot of charities you can donate to, and I will add more as I find more, but it is also encouraged that you buy esims for Gaza, which I will reblog more information on, as it is not something I am educated enough to talk about myself.

Also, here is a reminder that even a small donation can go a long way. If you can spare even just a few bucks, I urge you to do so.
