#passthehat

[marxism-leninism-meowism]

as much as people talk shit about tiktok, it's actually been incredibly heartwarming to be on the app lately because of erin hattamer's pass the hat project with operation olive branch. almost every single creator i follow has been promoting a family they're sponsoring in every single one of their videos. even if the video starts off completely unrelated, they'll bring up the family and give an update on them and their fundraiser. so many people are getting help because of this and it's so so so good. it's so good.

I am not even sure if people can see my posts, but I do know I have a lot of followers and I figure it is worth a try. Please consider donating to this gofundme to get this family out of Gaza.

WAYS TO HELP PALESTINE. FREE PALESTINE. DO WHAT YOU CAN.

I apologize for not being active to speak up this week during the strike like I've tried to be in the past. I'm not as active on Tumblr as I am on Twitter so it slipped my mind to be posting here about things since I usually don't post here in general.

I decided I'd make a post sharing different ways that you can help the people of Gaza, including ways to do so without donating to the families in need directly. This list includes options that are possible without money along with things that you can give money to to help. Even if you can't give money, you CAN spread the word for all of these things for free and while helping. Your voice matters.

ARAB.ORG

The first way that you (yes. you!) can help is by following the link below to be able to do a daily click that is able to help the people of Palestine. There will also be a link to their information on how it works if you're interested in that. Not only can you click to help Palestine, you can also click to help other causes which helps in general as well.

HOW IT WORKS

HIND'S HALL BY MACKLEMORE

"If the west was pretending that you didn't exist, you'd want the word to stand up, and the Students finally did."

You may have heard of Macklemore's new song HIND'S HALL, written about the current atrocities happening to the people in Gaza and in support of the students protesting, but did you know that the money that comes from streaming the song is going to UNRWA? You can stream this song for free and all the proceeds will be going to UNRWA (which, by the way, you can donate to directly: HERE).

I've heard from many comments and posts that the streams only count on Spotify if 1.) It is not completely muted, and 2.) There's a song (or two) played in between. This way Spotify will count each stream as a stream towards the song and allow for Macklemore to donate the proceeds.

CREATORS FOR PALESTINE!

There's also the Creators for Palestine Fundraiser! A ton of different creators, including some of my favorites, are getting together to raise money for the PCRF (and more!).

"Creators for Palestine is raising money for Palestine Children's Relief Fund, a registered 501 non-governmental organization established in 1992."

"With the current state Gaza is in, we are looking to urgently raise $1M to address humanitarian needs and immediate relief, including providing essential medical treatment/supplies, food, clean water, and other necessities for families affected by the genocide."

While you may not be able to donate to them, amplifying their voices, amplifying posts about this fundraiser, etc. Can help spread the word enough that more people CAN donate.

WATCH VIDEOS

Speaking of creators, creators on TikTok have made it their goal to donate funds made by you watching their videos, listening to their sounds, etc. Search on TikTok to find these videos, these creators, these sounds, and interact as much as possible. You can do this by especially going through the Pass The Hat Hashtag and helping those who are speaking up about specific families in need.

#PASSTHEHAT on TikTok

Now, onto places, organizations, and people you can donate to.

PASS THE HAT

Speaking of Pass The Hat, I will link to a video by a creator on TikTok named Erin who has started this wonderful initiative. Basically, this initiative is being used to have TikTok and Instagram creators 'adopt a family' in Gaza so that they can speak up for that family and get as many donations as possible. While you may not be able to donate, going through the videos made by people that are a part of this initiative and watching them, interacting with them, and focusing on them, will allow their videos to be pushed to people who may be able to help more than you can. And that alone is life changing.

OPERATION OLIVE BRANCH

While Erin is amazing for doing what she's done here, she has also made sure to amplify the voices of Operation Olive Branch and made sure to tell everyone that Operation Olive Branch, a Grassroots movement to organize & promote the safety and wellbeing of families in Palestine, was the operation to truly kickstart all of this. Operation Olive Branch has a TikTok account, which I will be linking, along with a cohesive google spreadsheet of families that are in need.

The spreadsheet has hundreds of families that are in need and includes links to their fundraisers, their goals, the names and ages of the family, and social media links. Each family is put into their own category such as Medical/Disabled, Mutual Aid, Gazan Heroes, etc. Along with a Master list of all of them. The main navigation page has many different recourses and links as well.

THE SPREADSHEET

Here are some more specific sources and then I'll add different threads of GoFundMe's.

CARE FOR GAZA

Care for Gaza is, in their own words, a Non-Governmental, Non-Profit charity in aid of helping the needy families of Palestine. You can find all of the links I can find for them below including their GoFundMe, PayPal, and their Twitter account. Care For Gaza is a non-profit helping the people in Gaza survive day by day by supplying food, hygiene products, etc. to the people in Gaza with little to nothing. All over their Twitter they continue to post pictures of the products they have and videos of the people they are able to help continuously due to the donations they receive.

PAYPAL

ESIMS FOR GAZA

ESims For Gaza is another effort, which is being run by Mirna El Helbawi. She has been accepting eSims donations and distributing them to journalists and other people in need of them and there have been over 1 thousand eSims distributed. Even the smallest amount helps those in need and you can help people in Gaza continue to get in contact with their families.

Now, onto the GoFundMe's.

GOFUNDME'S

There are many Twitter Threads going through and listing so many different GoFundMe's for the people in need of escaping Rafah. Some of them may repeat some GoFundMe's but I still believe these threads will be helpful to allow you to find some families in desperate need. Here are a few threads (let it be known I do not know the people who I'm sharing threads from!):

ONE

TWO

THREE

FOUR

There is also this GOOGLE DOCUMENT that has a list of different GoFundMe's and other donation sites.

Listen, I know this was a lot. But that's why I felt it important for it all to be in one place. There are hundreds of posts on Twitter, Tumblr, everywhere, that collects information for you like this. You just have to take the time to share it, to read it, to understand that you are not powerless in all of this. This post does not have everything, but I thought it could be a good start.

These people need our help. They need anything that we can give them and the least you can do is share around information and resources so those that can help know where to go. So that people know what is going on right now in the world.

Free Palestine.

[sage-lights]

happy to see shayne post about creators for palestine! if you can, please donate to help them reach their goal and provide aid to families in gaza currently facing a genocide. as many of you have probably seen, israel has been actively/relentlessly attacking rafah. so if there���s anytime to act, it’s now.

if you can’t donate, spread the word about this initiative and similar ones happening online, including the work that operation olive branch and #passthehat have been doing mainly on tiktok.

continue to educate yourself, go out and protest, and call for a permanent ceasefire. we’ve gotta stand on business!

[jayflrt]

hi jay, i really want to donate to help the Palestinians. But there are so many horrible people who've been using this excuse to make up stories and cash in some money, that I'm hesitating.

Could you link some safe and true places where I can donate? I dont have truckloads of money so i cant afford wasting it on scams, but i do have enough to help

it's okay about the name i understand !!! 😭 and there are definitely horrible scams out there so i do get your hesitation and i 100% understand not wanting to put your money toward those

here is a twitter link to a list of verified fundraisers and there are several more if you'd like me to link some more. there are also accounts you can look at for verified fundraisers such as @/gazafunds on twitter and @/90-ghost on tumblr

here is a spreadsheet with more fundraisers and here is a google doc with more fundraisers

if you're still hesitant, i'd recommend maybe looking up someone who's doing match donations (you can find them anywhere online!! even on tumblr) and you essentially click on the gofundme they're donating to, donate some money and screenshot your donation, and then send it to the user so that they can donate the same amount. or you can look up project #passthehat on tiktok!! it's a bunch of influencers on tiktok using their platforms to spread awareness and donate to a family in gaza. here is some more information about it if you're interested :')

[m34gs]

I don’t know if any people following/mutuals with me are on Tiktok; but if you are then there’s a lot of creators who have joined #passthehat. It’s a project where creators are assigned to families in Gaza who need money to evacuate and they help with fundraising for the families to get them out of Gaza.

So like, if you use Tiktok and haven’t heard about that yet, take some time to look it up and support the families those creators are fundraising for. Even just watching and interacting with the videos seems to help as it gives them more traction and helps get the message out there. I’m not really a creator myself and I don’t have the reach they do, nor do I have a lot of money to spare right now, but I can still watch, like, and share a video.

[lorewriter]

Hello, my name is Kai. As a part of the passthehat program, it is my responsibility to share the family I’ve been assigned to.

This is the gofundme for them and I will be adding a link to it down below.

Please share or donate if you can, I will be making more posts about them and some others who have reached out to me. Please don’t ignore this. If sharing is all you can do then please, do so.

[brendering]

Guys, Obada is 92% funded!! He's less than $5k away, he could have the money to get his family out of Gaza by the end of the day today! If you see this please donate or spread the word. Let's get this one over the finish line before it's too late!! If this one is funded by the time you see it, there are other families in need over at Erin Hattamer's PassTheHat initiative.

More from Obada's fundraiser, including video of the cats he helped before the invasion:

@heyjoeys

Cada segundo em que Regulus passava naquela festa, ele xingava Cissa mentalmente por tê-lo arrastado até ali. Ele não era do tipo que gostava de festas, já tinha que aguentar as que seus pais davam ou participavam e ele era arrastado junto. Essas conseguiam ser ainda piores do que aquela, porque pelo menos ali ele podia ficar de cara fechada e ignorando todos os bêbados chatos. Tinha perdido a prima no meio daquela multidão de jovens animados e alguns já alterados graças as bebidas alcoólicas disponivel no local, mas ele não bebia e de qualquer forma nem tinha idade para beber, ainda que ele conseguisse ver algumas pessoas do seu ano ignorando esse fato e agindo como se já tivessem completado dezoito anos. Já havia quase desistido de encontrar com a prima e estava cogitando seriamente ir embora, até porque só tinha ido para fazer companhia e como tinha perdido sua companhia, não fazia sentido algum continuar ali. Mas antes de desistir, resolver procurar em uma parte que ainda não havia procurado e parou ao lado de alguma garota que nem reparou quem era, pelo menos não antes que pudesse evitar um revirar de olhos e uma reclamação murmurada sobre como tudo ali era extremamente chato. “Por um acaso você viu...” Regulus não completou sua pergunta, quando notou que a garota ao lado era Joanna. “Deixa pra lá.” Foi o que disse, já se preparando para ouvir mais uma vez um dos sermões da ravina sobre como ele era um filhinho da mamãe rico e mimado, quando ela claramente namorava com um cara que não era muito melhor do que isso.

Yes I’m super happy that someone donated but mostly I’m sharing because I want to show that this is how progress is made for artists. This is what makes us squeal with delight. $1. Per month. 1/30th of a dollar a day made me make dog whistle noises. Supporting artists doesn’t have to be big, but my gods it feels like the world to the person passing the hat. . . . . . . #amwriting #amediting #painter #patreon #arteverywhere #arteverydamnday #artistsoninstagram #supportindependentartists #passthehat #theartofasking #livestream https://www.instagram.com/p/BnGrso9AMps/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xtcou8gdnmsu

hi !! i j wanted to say that u have changed most of my feed and most of the posts are gofundmes for palestinian families n ur making a huge difference just by reposting ❤️❤️

that's great to hear!!! im glad the reposts are influencing feeds, i was actually planning to ask if they were visible because i was afraid some censorship was going on again like other platforms have been doing :( reposting is definitely a great way to spread the message though! i dont know if you've seen project #passthehat on tiktok, but big creators and small creators are teaming up and "adopting families" in gaza to promote their fundraisers so that they gain more exposure. i've seen fundraisers go from low funds to meeting their goal within a week because of it!!! it's such a beautiful thing to see
