I know that in 2024 all our fav modern day shadowhunters would be supporting the protests and encampments in the US and across the world in support of 🍉🇵🇸
Like our fav shadowhunters I am trying to help by trying to reach as many people as possible to raise money for a family of 6 who still remains in Rafah.
The Alborno Family has four young kids and are in need of funds for temporary safe shelter, basic utilities such as food and electricity, as well as medical supplies to help their 1.5 yr old son who has chest allergies that have worsened due to recent conditions.
So I am trying to reach out in fandom spaces on all social medias that I have! I know we all read fantasy books where these things are fictional— but they are real and we have the chance to help people in real life.
If you can donate even just $5 that would be amazing or even if you can just repost to get the message spread farther that would be so helpful!
Here is the link to their go fund me with more info as well:

I have worn my magen david and not had a single comment, from anyone— not Muslims, Christians, people wearing kufiyahs. I’ve been to protests and demonstrations, and never been more welcomed or felt so safe. Palestinians have hugged me, have shared food with me. Leftists have constantly held space to listen and to learn, to make room for changes and growth.
But you know what I have experienced? Jewish Zionists screaming at me, calling me shameful, Jewish Zionists on the internet debating the legitimacy of my Jewishness. I’ve been called kapo, k*ke and told I’d be r*ped by Hamas. I’ve had the most vitriol from ZIONISTS. I’ve faced the most antisemitism from Zionist Jews, and that makes me so inconceivably sad. I’ve been looked down upon and cursed at.
