prayers are great but here are organisations you can support and donate to after the explosion in beirut, lebanon. as of right now august 4th 2020, 54 bodies have been recovered and thousands are injured, and entire neighbourhoods including hospitals have been destroyed. we’re already in an economic crisis and famine on top of covid and our government, as usual, has done and is doing nothing to help us, much less the refugees. we still don’t know what or who set off the explosion. we have 1.5 million syrian refugees and 300k palestinian refugees who also need help.

- save the children lebanon

- muslim aid lebanon

- bassma: donations go to help families pay for health care, food boxes, clothing, education and tutoring

- anera: donate to syrian and palestinian refugee camps in lebanon

- lebanese food bank

- association najdeh for female palestinian refugees in lebanon

- lebanese red cross

- penny appeal lebanon, help buy food for children and families

- islamic relief usa / islamic relief canada

- basmeh and zeitooneh: learn about the social and economic crisis + donate here

- jusoor syria, refugee education program in lebanon

- help lebanon carrd with a few more ressources + overall petitions

if you know of any dependable and official charities/ngos in lebanon please reblog and i will add them onto this post as well.

edit: there is a post circulating saying that donating to lebanese charities is kind of useless atm bc the value of currency has dropped immensely so. idk i think its still important to donate to these ngos bc they provide long term direct help to ppl (food, shelter, education etc) and not through the government but the post did make valid points and i will try to find other funds as well!

edit 2: nvm lmao! donate your hearts out these are approved ngos who dont go through our shitty ass gov!

Robert Eads was a transgender man who transitioned later in life and as such it was deemed inadvisable for him to seek sex reassignment surgery. He was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1996 but was refused treatment by more than a dozen doctors, some for personal reasons and others on the grounds that taking him on as a patient might harm their practice. When he finally found a doctor to treat him in 1997, the cancer had already metastasized to other parts of his body, rendering any further treatments futile. He passed away in 1999. His life and death was the subject of the award-winning documentary Southern Comfort (2001).

As i’m sure many of you have heard, the Trump administration just passed a ruling that would remove LGBT+ anti-discrimination protections in health care and health insurance. I immediately thought of this man’s story when I heard about the ruling. Stories like this are the reason why those protections are necessary.

It’s easy to feel hopeless with all the bad news our community has been bombarded with recently. But we have to keep fighting, and one way we can fight is through legal means.

Here are some organizations who have announced plans to take action in court. If you can donate to any of them, please do!

LAMBDA Legal: one of the first to announce they would take legal action against the ruling, LAMBDA Legal is the oldest and largest national legal organization advocating for LGBTQ+ people and people with HIV.

Transgender Law Center: the largest American transgender-led civil rights organization in the United States. The stated mission of TLC is to connect transgender people and their families to technically sound and culturally competent legal services, increase acceptance and enforcement of laws and policies that support transgender communities, and work to change laws and systems that fail to incorporate the needs and experiences of transgender people.

Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund: Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund is committed to ending discrimination based upon gender identity and expression and to achieving equality for transgender people through public education, test-case litigation, direct legal services, and public policy efforts.

American Civil Liberties Union: a nonprofit organization founded in 1920 “to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States”

‘He was my everything’: Boy who drowned in Brookings pond remembered for smile, generosity

The body of Molu Zarpeleh, 10, who was reported missing last Thursday night, was recovered from a privately-owned retention pond along 12th Street South around 8:40 a.m. Friday after authorities searched the pond, according to a new release from the City of Brookings.

A tip that Zarpeleh had been pushed into the pond that circulated on social media has been redacted by the tipster, said Chelsea Bakken, public information officer for the City of Brookings. Investigators also reported that tips they received Friday related to circumstances surrounding the incident were not true but won’t state why. Police are ignoring it and ruling it an “accidental drowning but his mother says differently. 

“A 10-year-old boy would not just take his sandals off and walk into the water,” she said. “He didn’t know how to swim.”

Brookings police and the Brookings Fire Department searched for Zarpeleh until about 2:30 a.m. Friday before the search was stopped due to safety concerns, poor lighting and murky water, the release states. Searchers used pumps from Brookings Municipal Utilities and Brookings County to remove about 300,000 gallons of water from the pond during the resumed search Friday morning

“Molu died, but I can’t say ‘was’ yet,” Mole said. “He’s my first child. He’s my only son. I don’t want to use the word 'was.’ I can’t imagine him not living.”

Feeling some type of way abt all these white (and to some degree nonblack poc) bloggers saying “let’s throw bricks again” and “bring back riots”

Like I saw y’all foaming at the mouth abt the black and brown stripe pride flag. I haven’t forgot that some of y’all talking abt riots now where cowering at the mere mention of blm protests. I don’t want nothing to do with any of y’alls “riots” till y’all do something abt your racism, esp your antiblackness.

I swear I'll do it alone if I have to but rest assured I'm not going to let you all forget about Black people

People who claim to support the “good cops” seem to be silent about Cariol Horne, an actual good cop. Every cop should be like her. Any cop who wouldn’t do what she did is not a good cop.
