Hi. I don't usually speak up about these issues mainly because I don't exactly have a following, and I'm pretty sure only mutuals will be able to see this post.

But—

Let's open our eyes to what's going on for a second. Let's take a break from consuming things that distract us from reality. From what's been happening across the sea. From the tides that are ebbing and flowing with the blood of the innocent. From the cries of children, mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters stripped of their home and of their lives.

From the people who are desperately reaching out to us for help.

I have been privileged enough not to wake to the sounds of bombs mere miles from where I'm sleeping. I have been privileged enough to wake up and not smell sulfur and ash in the air. I have been privileged enough not to live in cramped spaces that breed disease, lacking food or clean water.

The people of Palestine need you to amplify their voices. They need you to scream for them now more than ever.

Rafah is currently being bombed and invaded. The border between the Rafah to Egypt crossing is currently being lined with tanks.

I know that it all feels hopeless, but please do not give up. There will be another opportunity. There will be another opening. While the invasion of Rafah is currently taking place, a ceasefire resolution is still being negotiated as we speak. Do NOT give up hope.

I didn't want to make this post without supplementing it with something that is actionable, but as someone with little means to help monetarily, I understand if you cannot directly donate to the links provided below. However, please do not underestimate your voice. Being able to spread this to someone who is able to contribute funding is equally as important.

So what can you do?

The simplest thing you can do is share these resources. Share them to as many people as you can. Amplifying the voices of the disparaged means that more people who are able to give aid can be reached. Research any local movements, any protests happening in your city or town, and attend them if you can.

And when your voice is hoarse from speaking, from screaming. When your legs hurt from the march. When you aren't able to reach as far as you can, as you want to, as you need to, the next thing you can do is listen. Keep updated on what is happening. Keep your eyes open. The more people mobilize and direct their efforts to help, the more people come up with new ways to give aid. There is always a next step.

Avoid supporting companies who are supporting or are compliant to Israel's genocide. There is a useful app called Boycat that you can scan the barcodes of products with so it can tell you, using its ever-expanding database, if its brand is compliant to ethical standards. One of the current campaigns it's supporting is that of Palestine.

For folks who are able to donate funds, here is a list of charities and fundraisers you can donate to:

eSims For Gaza makes sure that people in Gaza are able to maintain communication with their families overseas, and allows journalists to secure more visibility on what is happening on the field.

The Gaza Sunbirds are a para-cycling team focusing their efforts and resources to helping their community by routing supplies to families in the Gaza strip.

Gxza Health provides telemedicine to the people in Gaza in need of medicine and healthcare. They are partnered with UNRWA to get medication delivered to patients.

Palestine Red Crescent Society is a part of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent and helps facilitate aid to the people in the Gaza strip.

Sulala Animal Rescue is an organization focused on rescuing, treating, and feeding strays in Gaza City, with hopes of possibly opening a permanent shelter with international support.

Medical Aid for Palestinians supports Palestinians by providing medical aid to those who need it.

Anera provides warm meals and facilitates medical aid for refugees in Palestine.

Baitumaal provides emergency aid and poverty relief to communities that are under-privileged, including a service to sponsor children who have been orphaned.

If you want to directly sponsor a Palestinian family, a grassroots movement called Operation Olive Branch is currently working hard to amplify the voices of Palestinians who are in need of funding to escape their current predicament. You can find over 800+ families in the spreadsheet that they maintain, with gofundme campaigns operated by the families themselves. OOB also heads the Perinatal Project, a project that specifically caters to people in need of urgent prenatal, postpartum, and infant care needs.

I will make new posts as time goes on and the more resources I am able to gather, but for now that is all. Please share as much as you can.

From the river to the sea.

Free Palestine

Can you please help me verify and share my campaign ? I am Mahasen ,a digital artist from Gaza I am responsible for my whole Family

Thank you so much

GofundmeLink : https://gofund.me/8202c14b

[image description: a fundraiser banner showing images of Mahasen’s artwork, portraits of young Palestinian girls and women, as well as a photo of Mahasen at work at her drawing tablet, juxtaposed against a photo of a building destroyed by bombs. End description]

Of course my dear 💙

Mahasen is verified by Operation Olive Branch, and you can find her on line 508 of their spreadsheet! However, the fundraiser linked by OOB is no longer accepting donations. They also linked her instagram account, though, which is the same account that Mahasen links to here on her tumblr account. I reached out to Mahasen on her instagram page so that I could help clear up any potential confusion about her posting a different fundraiser link, and she confirmed to me that she is the owner of both this tumblr and the instagram page!

Alt text: a screenshot of the instagram page of user mahasen_ktheeb. Underneath her bio, where the app displays followers the user knows, it says, "Followed by operationolivebranch." End alt text

Alt text: an instagram dm conversation between myself and user mahasen_ktheeb. I said, "Hello my friend, I hope you’re doing well today. I’m palms-upturned on tumblr and was hoping that you could confirm to me that you are the same mahasenelkhatib who reached out to me on tumblr so that I can spread your campaign link there 🙏". Mahasen responds, "Hello Meg, I am Mahasen .. you contacted me on tumblr as @palms-upturned ,right? Thank you for reaching out to me I had to deactivate the old fundraiser as a problem with withdrawing funds forced me to do so and created a new one , and a trusted mutual friend from Netherlands will be the beneficiary who receives funds on my behalf and transfer it to us This is my old fundraiser : (attached link) This is my new one : (second attached link) Thank you". End alt text

This is the link she sent to her old fundraiser, which is the same fundraiser linked in the OOB spreadsheet, and this is the link to her new fundraiser, which is the same one she is posting here on tumblr. You can see that her instagram account is followed by Operation Olive Branch, and you can also go check the spreadsheet to see a direct link to her page!

As you can see, Mahasen lost a lot of fundraising progress, and her new campaign is extremely low on funds, having raised only $100/$50k USD. Please, please do not hesitate to donate what you can to Mahasen’s campaign and to spread her new fundraiser link! She is far from the only person who has reached out to me with similar stories of difficulties with gofundme and with finding trustworthy benefactors, so please be careful not to dismiss people like Mahasen as scams!

Unhoused Solidarity In Action

This is a non-exhaustive list of resources you might have access to, or know of, that can be used to aid unhoused community members directly. Many of these focus on direct mutual aid as individuals but can be helpful to consider when in community organizing settings. - What do you (or someone you know) have access to, that you can provide to the community? - Can they be accessed, used, or provided: regularly, occasionally, only in emergencies, weekly, daily, sporadically, consistently, etc.? - Consider seasonal needs (winter coats don’t help us when it’s 90 degrees out!) - Remember to practice active, informed consent with individuals and ask if these would be helpful! Don’t take it personally if your offer isn’t helpful to someone, it might help someone else. - These should be realistic and not compromise your safety or well-being. Remember to prioritize safety over comfort.

Housing

- Consider your relationship with this person (generally, don’t offer complete strangers into your home)

- Location matters a lot. Unhoused people often need to be near “hubs”/cities, close to resources and systems of care.

- Some people can’t live in hotels, couch surf, or any of these options without losing their housing vouchers, and in some cases health insurance or other assistance programs. Legal definitions of homelessness (used by voucher programs) usually don’t include people living in hotels/motels, or couch surfing (including most of these options). Check with the individual to see if this might be helpful.

Extra bedrooms

Campers, trailers

Couches

Apartments

Land/yards to camp on, park at, etc.

Donate funds or points for a hotel room

Shelters

Floor space

Safe parking lots to sleep in your car in (sleeping in your car is considered legal homelessness in most places)

Time

- Emotional capacity and minimizing the risk of burnout are important here especially

Do outreach with a community org

File for grants

Provide education materials

Share knowledge regarding resources

Emotional support - build genuine connections with your local unhoused neighbors

Reach out to companies for donations

Create or add to lists of resources, open bathrooms, etc.

Transportation

- One of the biggest barriers to accessing existing resources is transportation (also mailing addresses, internet access, and active phone service)

Personal car, ride-sharing/carpooling

Bus tickets/passes

Old/not frequently used bikes

Taxi services/vouchers

Uber/Lift gift cards

Carpooling

Coordinate rides for people

Food

- A lot of unhoused people prefer “comfort foods” to “health foods” - Ask about dietary restrictions, the cooking ability of the unhoused person, the cooking equipment, etc. - Soft foods are frequently more accessible to us as dental issues are very common - 100$ in fast food is significantly less than 100$ in homemade food

Can cook hot meals

Can pay for meals

Knows someone (person, business) who can supply food

Inviting people over for a meal

Gifting food (be sure to be considerate of dietary restrictions, cooking ability, equipment needed to cook, etc.)

Have a community dunkin gift card

Make or add to a fruit tree map (fallingfruit.org, community gardens, federal university campuses)

Money

- Money should be freely given, with no strings attached - Ask what form works best for them— cash apps/virtual, physical cash, gift cards, quarters, etc.

It is best to provide cash donations directly to impacted individuals (or organizations) with no strings attached

Provide relevant, local chain store gift cards (Grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants)

Coordinate fundraisers

Apply for grants

Supplies

- Ask individuals what they need most!

Purchase and donate supplies directly to individuals or organizations

Reach out to businesses

Donate old phones or computers

Add someone to your family phone plan

Donate professional clothes for interviews

Donate an outfit you would actually wear

Talents, Trades, Skills

Your hobbies might be helpful! Crochet is extremely trendy right now (easy to learn, you could make hats/scarves for community members)!

Professional ties/experience Examples: You’re a cosmetologist who can do free haircuts for an hour each week, or you’re a graphic designer who can create a website for an organization for free, or you’re a nurse who can provide wound care to encampments

Community gardens

Connect with and partner with non-profits or community-based organizations in your area (or help start one if there’s none!)

Allow people to use you as a reference for job interviews

Bathrooms

- Not just toilets, but showers and mirrors are important too

Ask businesses to pledge to have open, public, accessible, and free restrooms

Your personal restroom

Make a list of local public restrooms

Free gym memberships or add someone to a gym plan

Services

- In order to access most services, you need most, if not all, of the following: transportation, identification, important paperwork, printing/faxing access, mailing addresses, internet access, active phone service, free time during business hours, and emotional and mental ability (and capacity) to complete everything required (forms, applications, phone calls, interviews, annual reviews, verifications) in a timely manner (usually on a strict deadline)

Case management experience you can volunteer

Peer support for service navigation (great option for people with prior lived experience)

Advocacy within services

Offer to provide a P.O. box or use your address to receive mail

Housing skills

Allow someone to use your library card for books, computers, the internet, etc. (most libraries won’t allow unhoused people to get a library card)

Volunteer at a shelter

Allow someone to use your home wifi, printer, phone number, mailbox, email, etc.

Fundraising

- If you can’t donate your own personal funds, fundraising is a great way to help out

Community mutual aid asks (in person or online)

Art walks

Skate competition

Concerts

Tip jar

Gift basket raffle

Clothing and food drive

Game tourney

Live streams

Start a GoFundMe for individuals/orgs

I strongly encourage you to look over the matching slides I created for this workshop: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VDngImsMByUFmKX611zAJ43a0UcYIfMBxrbh_g1IJvc/edit

As a disclaimer: I have been homeless/unhoused for over half of my life. My experiences of homelessness have included while being a infant, toddler, young child, preteen, teenager, and young adult. I am 24 years old. My most recent experience of being unhoused was last year, and I am currently precariously housed (meaning: at high risk of losing housing again). My experiences of homelessness have included sleeping outside in a tent, sleeping on park benches and under freeways, walking around all night to avoid hypothermia and freezing to death (something that has happened to several of my friends), couch surfing, sleeping in cars, squatting, sleeping in motels, living in a shelter, and institutionalized. I have been homeless with family a few times during early childhood and again when I was 15. All of my other experiences of homelessness have been on my own starting at age 9 or 10, and the last time I lived with a parent I was 16. I have been homeless in both rural and urban areas. I have been homeless in New England/Northeast United States as well as the Pacific Northwest.

In addition to this, I have many contributing factors to my experience, including being disabled, a person of color, trans, queer, a survivor of child abuse and CSA, being trafficked, and a drug user and a SWer, amongst other marginalized experiences.

That being said: my experience of being unhoused/homeless is not the universal experience. While I know many people of all different demographics who I’ve met on the streets, I cannot speak to every single person’s experiences. I especially cannot speak to experiences outside of the United States, aside from what I hear secondhand.

This is meant to serve as a general guide to accompany a workshop I created, and might not be helpful for everyone. If it’s not helpful, I hope it inspires others to offer creative solutions. I’m always working on expanding this list. Thank you for reading.

Innovation, Strategic Approach, and Right Guidance: The Key Drivers to Empower Bharat through SIPs

In recent years, Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) have shown to be one of the best strategies for accumulating wealth in India. SIPs are becoming a popular option for long-term financial planning in India due to the country's expanding middle class and desire for financial independence. However, three important factors—innovation, strategic approach, and appropriate financial advice—are what will determine if SIPs are successful for both individual investors and Bharat (India) as a whole. To fully use SIPs' potential to empower individuals and spur economic progress, these pillars are essential.

Innovation in SIPs

The global environment of making investments is changing mainly because of creative thinking, and SIPs are not unique. As time passed, the standard SIP structure has changed, with technology playing a major role. With user-friendly smartphone apps, cloud-based services, and online platforms, SIPs are now easier to set up and manage for investors than they have ever been. Furthermore, cutting-edge strategies like flexible SIPs, step-up SIPs, and goal-based investing provide tailored answers to suit the various demands of various investor types. These kinds of developments will be essential to allowing more individuals to engage in wealth generation as digital penetration raises in India.

Strategic Approach to SIPs

Proper strategic planning is the basic foundation for a successful SIP. Since many investors in India are still getting to know the advantages  and disadvantages of wealth management, it is more crucial that they have a strategy that suits their risk tolerance and financial objectives. The key to successful investing is to get started early investing in markets, stay disciplined, and examine and alter the portfolio on a regular basis based on market conditions. SIPs have consistently produced returns over the long run, even in turbulent market conditions, according to historical statistics. For example, SIPs in equities mutual funds have outperformed traditional saving vehicles over the last 20 years, with returns of up to 12–15%. In addition to guaranteeing capital growth, a strategic strategy helps reduce market volatility-related risks.

Right Advice: The Game Changer

The importance of strategy and innovation remain the value of professional guidance cannot be observed. To make wise investment selections in a nation as varied as India, where financial literacy levels differ, it is imperative to obtain the appropriate counsel. Expert financial advisers are able to advise investors on which SIP plans best suit their time horizon, risk tolerance, and financial objectives. They can also offer insightful information during market downturns, assisting investors in staying focused on their long-term goals. Studies show that those who get expert financial guidance are more likely to become wealthy over time than people who just make self-directed investments

How InvestSphere Can Help

InvestSphere is committed to empowering Bharat by providing investors with the right tools, strategies, and advice to make the most of SIPs. Through its innovative platform, InvestSphere offers a range of services that make SIP investments easy, transparent, and goal-oriented. Whether you are a first-time investor or someone looking to optimize your portfolio, InvestSphere’s team of experts provides personalized guidance based on your unique financial situation. With a focus on education, InvestSphere also helps investors understand the importance of long-term investing and offers insights into the best strategies for SIP success.

Conclusion

Innovation, a strategic approach, and the right advice are the key drivers that will empower Bharat through SIPs. As India continues on its path toward economic growth, SIPs will play an increasingly important role in helping individuals achieve financial independence. With the right guidance and tools, every investor can leverage SIPs to build wealth over time.

How to Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity: A Comprehensive Guide

If you’ve been investing with Robinhood but are now considering making a switch to Fidelity for your stock trading, the good news is that you can easily transfer your assets without needing to sell your stocks and incur potential taxes. This guide will walk you through every step to ensure that your transfer of stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity is smooth and efficient.

Why Transfer from Robinhood to Fidelity?

While Robinhood offers a user-friendly experience, there are several compelling reasons why investors might prefer Fidelity for long-term investments. Fidelity provides:

Comprehensive research tools and educational resources

Customer support with branches nationwide

A wider selection of investment products including mutual funds and bonds

Advanced platforms for active traders and passive investors alike

Making the switch is relatively simple, but there are a few key things to know to ensure your transfer goes smoothly.

Can You Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity?

Yes, you can easily transfer stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity through the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS). This system allows for a direct transfer of your assets, including stocks, ETFs, and other supported securities, without selling them. This is advantageous because it helps you avoid taxes associated with selling and ensures that you retain your investments as-is.

How to Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity?

Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to transfer stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity:

Step 1: Open a Fidelity Account

Before initiating the transfer, you need to have a Fidelity account set up. You can open an account online via Fidelity’s website in a few minutes. If you already have an account, you can skip this step. When opening an account, ensure that the type of account at Fidelity (e.g., individual brokerage account, IRA) matches the account type you hold with Robinhood. This is crucial because ACATS transfers can only occur between accounts of the same type.

Step 2: Gather Information About Your Robinhood Account

To start the transfer process, you will need details from your Robinhood account. Ensure you have the following:

Your Robinhood account number: You can find this in the Settings section of the Robinhood app.

The type of account (e.g., individual taxable brokerage)

List of securities you wish to transfer (Fidelity will typically transfer everything, but it’s good to know what’s being moved).

Step 3: Log into Your Fidelity Account and Initiate the Transfer

Log into Fidelity and navigate to the Account Transfer section. You’ll find this under “Transfer” in the main navigation.

Select Transfer from another brokerage and choose Robinhood as your current brokerage.

Provide your Robinhood account number and the required details.

Choose whether to do a full or partial transfer. A full transfer will move all your stocks and assets from Robinhood to Fidelity, while a partial transfer allows you to select specific stocks or assets to move.

Step 4: Confirm Transfer and Wait for Processing

Once you submit the transfer request, Fidelity will initiate the ACATS transfer with Robinhood. The transfer typically takes 5-7 business days, although it can take longer in some cases.

During this time:-

Your Robinhood account may be restricted from trading as the assets are in the process of being moved.

Cash balances may not transfer. Ensure you transfer any uninvested cash separately or plan for it to remain in your Robinhood account.

Ensure all securities are transfer-eligible (for example, fractional shares and cryptocurrency cannot be transferred through ACATS).

Step 5: Monitor the Transfer

You can log into your Fidelity account to track the status of your transfer. Fidelity will notify you when the transfer is complete. Once the transfer is finalized, all your stocks and ETFs will appear in your Fidelity portfolio.

What Happens After the Transfer?

Once your stocks have successfully been transferred to Fidelity, you can start trading and managing your investments on their platform. Your cost basis, open positions, and gains or losses should transfer over without any issues. However, always double-check to ensure that all securities have been transferred correctly.

Important Considerations

Fractional shares will not transfer. If you hold any fractional shares on Robinhood, they will be liquidated, and the cash proceeds will be transferred to your Fidelity account.

Cryptocurrencies held on Robinhood will not transfer. If you want to move your crypto holdings, you will need to sell them on Robinhood and transfer the cash.

Transfer fees: Robinhood charges a $75 fee for outgoing ACATS transfers, whether full or partial. Be aware of this cost when deciding whether to transfer.

Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Schwab

If you are looking to transfer your stocks to Charles Schwab, the process is very similar to transferring to Fidelity. Schwab also supports ACATS transfers, and the steps involve:

Opening a Schwab account (or using an existing one).

Logging into the Schwab platform and initiating the transfer from Robinhood.

Waiting for the transfer to complete, typically in 5-7 business days.

The same considerations apply regarding fractional shares, cryptocurrencies, and transfer fees.

Frequently Asked Questions:-

Can I Transfer My Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity Without Selling Them?

Yes, you can transfer your stocks without selling them by using the ACATS system. This allows you to move your assets directly to Fidelity, avoiding the tax implications of selling and repurchasing.

How Long Does It Take to Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity?

The ACATS transfer process usually takes 5-7 business days, although the timing can vary depending on the complexity of the assets being transferred.

Is There a Fee to Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity?

Yes, Robinhood charges a $75 fee for outgoing transfers, whether full or partial. This fee is deducted from your account before the transfer.

Can You Transfer Fractional Shares from Robinhood to Fidelity?

No, fractional shares cannot be transferred via ACATS. Robinhood will sell any fractional shares you own, and the cash value will be sent to your Fidelity account.

Can You Transfer Cryptocurrency from Robinhood to Fidelity?

No, cryptocurrencies cannot be transferred through ACATS. You will need to sell your cryptocurrency on Robinhood and transfer the proceeds.

Conclusion

Transferring your stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity is a straightforward process when done through the ACATS system. With a few steps, you can move your assets without selling them, allowing you to take advantage of Fidelity’s resources and tools. Be mindful of transfer fees, fractional shares, and cryptocurrency holdings, as these may require additional steps.

The Ultimate Guide to Planning and Achieving Financial Goals

Evaluating and achieving financial goals and objectives today is crucial to having a secure tomorrow. This task is problematic for many people, as they do not have proper directions and instruments at their disposal. This article could help you be equipped with the necessary information on how to plan and attain goals for the financial realm. Through these procedures, one can develop a feasible financial blueprint and be able to achieve his financial goals and objectives. Following this, we will discuss How to Plan and Achieve Financial Goals , how to establish a budget, create a savings plan, investing, and evaluating performance.

Setting Realistic Financial Goals

The first step in dealing with your finances is to ensure that you set achievable targets. Determine what goal is desired, such as purchasing a home, saving for college, or paying off credit card bills. These goals should be broken down into short-term, medium-term, and long-term targets. Examples of short-term goals would be to save for a holiday trip, while long-term goals would be to save or plan for the retirement period. Make sure that your goals are specifically stated, measurable, attainable, meaningful, and have definite time frames (SMART). These concepts will help to clear your vision and keep you on track in terms of the financial decisions you make.

Creating a Budget

Having a plan that outlines one’s financial plans and goals is very important in achieving such goals. Begin with keeping abreast of your earnings and spending. Divide your expenditure into the necessary ones, for instance, food, shelter and other unnecessary expenses that include eating out and travelling. Draw out spots that you can avoid or minimize your costs as much as possible. Utilize money to achieve your financial objectives. As a way out, you are advised to use budgeting tools or applications to ensure easy work is done. A budget helps you better manage your funds and makes you realize that you are providing enough for saving and investing.

Building an Emergency Fund

An emergency fund is a financial safety net for those situations when you suddenly find yourself lacking money for something. Target to have an emergency fund of three to six months of your income or the amount you spend in a month. This fund will act as an emergency fund to ensure that you do not lose focus of your financial plans in the event of an emergency. You should begin by dedicating a small amount of money in a given month towards this goal. Savings can then be gradually increased to the target amount. It is preferred to keep this fund in a readily accessible liquid account should the need arise.

Investing Wisely

Investing is key to growing your wealth and achieving long-term financial goals. Understand your risk tolerance and investment options. Diversify your portfolio to spread risk. Consider a mix of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate. Regularly review and adjust your investments based on market conditions and life changes. Powerup money,  a financial advisory firm, offers valuable insights and tools for making informed investment decisions.

Monitoring Your Progress

Regularly monitor your financial progress to stay on track. Review your goals and budget periodically. Adjust them as necessary to reflect changes in income, expenses, or priorities. Use financial tools and apps to track your savings, investments, and spending. Celebrate small milestones to stay motivated. Staying informed and adaptable ensures you remain on the path to achieving your financial goals.

Conclusion

Achieving financial goals requires careful planning, disciplined budgeting, strategic investing, and regular monitoring. By setting realistic goals, creating a budget, building an emergency fund, and investing wisely, you can secure your financial future. Tools and resources, like those offered by Powerup, can provide valuable guidance. Remember, financial planning is an ongoing process. Regularly review and adjust your strategies to stay aligned with your objectives. With determination and the right approach, you can achieve your financial goals and enjoy a secure and prosperous future.
