"How, then, does one become an activist?

The easy answer would be to say that we do not become activists; we simply forget that we are. We are all born with compassion, generosity, and love for others inside us. We are all moved by injustice and discrimination. We are all, inside, concerned human beings. We all want to give more than to receive. We all want to live in a world where solidarity and companionship are more important values than individualism and selfishness. We all want to share beautiful things; experience joy, laughter, love; and experiment, together."

--- On Palestine by Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé

"Salam everyone, my name is Sara, and I'm fundraising for the last remaining tuition fees necessary for me to graduate with my Bachelor's degree.

Since 2019, I've been studying biology as an international student at SFSU in the United States. Unfortunately, my family back home has been facing severe financial struggles since 2021, making it challenging for me to secure funds for tuition each semester. I've explored every possible solutions and routes to cover these expenses in the past, but as an F1 visa holder, I face numerous limitations, and I'm ineligible for financial aid and almost all scholarships.

I'm on track to complete almost all my degree requirements by the end of this Spring 2024 semester, with just two classes remaining in Fall 2024 before I can finally graduate. Failure to pay my tuition by August 24th will prevent me from registering for these final classes and will result in the cancellation of my visa and I-20, forcing me to leave the country and losing my degree. Obtaining this visa again in Egypt isn't an easy process at all with my family's financial challenges making it impossible.

The funds I require encompass the tuition for both the Spring 2024 and Fall 2024 semesters, as well as mandatory health insurance for international students.

Having been displaced from Syria in 2012 and subsequently relocating to the US five years ago in pursuit of quality education represents my sole means of aiding my family amid Egypt's current economic crisis. I hope you help me reach my final step in this journey. I extend my gratitude to everyone who donates or shares :)”

We were all once young and at one time you felt so hungry and you had nothing on you in terms of food, try to recreate that moment and it's even more worse for a needy hungry child because they even hold no hopes of getting what to eat SUPPORT AKHYNNAH FOUNDATION CHARITY SERVICES, SUPPORT AKHYNNAH FOUNDATION FEEDING OF THE HUNGRY CHILDREN.

hey followers and mutuals:

just a reminder that you can help suffering palestinians from afar. it feels hopeless, but there's always something we can do.

you can donate. i've been donating to the palestinian children's relief fund; there's also a chapter on campus at my university. there are other organizations you can donate with, too: unicef and launchgood are good ones too i think. it doesn't have to be a hundred dollars at a time; give whatever you can afford. just remember why you're giving in the first place.

you can boycott. boycott starbucks, boycott mcdonald's, boycott nestle products, coke products, unilever products...there are so many fucking companies with their hands in israel's pockets (and vice versa) right now. even better, the boycotts are working. starbuck's stocks have dropped like crazy in the past couple of weeks; the world is feeling our collective effects. boycotts work if we stick to them. go to bdsmovement.net to learn about more companies you can boycott or pressure.

you can call your representatives. call and email your representatives every single day. you can call the white house. you can tell them that you are a registered voter and that you will not be voting for any candidate who does not demand a ceasefire. tell them that you will refuse to support any elected official who accepts bribes from AIPAC (such as democrats Brian Higgins, Gregory Meeks, Joseph Morelle, and Ritchie Torres of NY and Pete Aguilar, Ami Bera, and Julia Brownley of Cali). flood those motherfuckers with messages. it does more than you think.

you can share. get on social media and find those palestinian journalists and civilians who are sharing in real time scenes from Gaza. it's gruesome and it is horrifying, but people (especially those so removed from it) need to see it to understand. western media can only spread so much propaganda; when you've seen those dying children, people crying and searching through rubble for their families, something is bound to change. go to instagram and follow motaz (@motaz_azaiza), bisan (@wizard_bisan1), plestia (@byplestia), the heroes on the ground in gaza, risking their lives. they start each new post with "i'm still alive", often worrying that they may not be for long. palestinians are begging the rest of the world to listen and to tell their story in case they don't make it. they just want to be remembered. that's the very least we can do.

you can have conversations. talk to your friends, your family. post on social media. address it directly. it will be uncomfortable. you dont have to be aggressive about it; just try to appeal to people's humanity, present them with the facts, and if you must, show them the gruesome footage from gaza or the badly veiled propaganda from israeli officials. do anything you can to get them to care. tell them how they can help. get people talking about it, even just thinking about it.

you can educate yourself. i've learned more about the history of israel and palestine in the last few days than i ever had before. and let me tell you: learning the objective facts of history makes it 200% easier to know who to support.

you can support your muslim, jewish, and arab friends. they all need it right now. check in on them and see how they're doing. let them know that you're trying to do something; even though it feels small, it will mean something to them, i promise. let them know you're there and you support them.

please please share and do whatever you can to help those suffering without food, water, electricity, or medical care right now. don't be afraid of the issue because it's "sensitive" or "controversial". it's uncomfortable to face, but it should be more uncomfortable to allow thousands to die while we do nothing.

free palestine. 🇵🇸

For Louis' birthday fundraiser this year, we have chosen Human Appeal, an organization distributing essential humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. Please donate if possible and share our fundraiser HERE.

HERE is Fundraising Director Zaheer Khan explaining what Human Appeal are doing on the ground in Gaza and how your donations are still helping despite the humanitarian aid blockade.

As many of us know by now, Yemen has been the GOAT! A poor Muslim country doing everything in its power to help Gaza and because of this, the WFP (world food program) cut them off. Malnutrition rates among women and children are the highest in the world. If you are able to, please make a donation!

[in response to @samah_fadil's tweet: i've been sending mutual aid to gaza for a decade atp & it's never been harder to coordinate than right now. even a few hundred dollars can take days to figure out. would love for shaun king to explain the logistics behind sending a million dollars/food to gaza? curious to learn. included is a screenshot of shaun king's fraudulent launchgood campaign]

The way we all said he was gonna do this, but because of who we are.......🙄
