We are not facing famine. We are being forced to starve to death by the Israeli occupation. Forced starvation is not just a crime; it is an act of genocide.

Unfortunately 40 days of not scrolling did not fix me in any way that matters

working with little kids is so dangerous. you get one kid who has a unique way of speaking & then spend the rest of your life with an internal monologue like “me’s go bathroom?”

Imagine yourself in this situation...

You’ve just survived death. Running through gunfire and bombs. Escaping by a miracle. You finally reach the US aid zone in Rafah. A city that’s now nothing but ruins, forbidden, lifeless. Every step there could be your last.

After long lines and endless waiting, you receive a small box of food. You and your brother. Finally, something to ease the hunger of a family that hasn’t eaten in a week. On your way back, dreaming of feeding your parents, your siblings, a shell explodes nearby. Your brother is hit. He falls to the ground, screaming, "Help me..."

You look around. No one. No ambulance. No hospital. The closest one is in Khan Younis, 12 km away. And where you are is just silence, dust, and fear. This is what’s happening in Gaza

Please, my family desperately needs your help. Donate to us on GoFundMe or directly via PayPal.

The most amazing part of getting a group to talk about the same thing is how it opens up different ideas for one thing and makes you go "wow . I didn't think of it that way" and your brain gets larger and in some way you also retain a little bit of your friends there as well its because the idea came from them and is shaped by their life experience and whats important to them . Crasy right .

The Flint water crisis began in 2014, after lead-contaminated drinking water was found to be leaching out from aging pipes into homes citywide.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the Natural Resources Defense Council, with help from other activists and nonprofits, have released statements on the recent progress, celebrating the milestone.

The statements which they chalk up the crisis to “cost-cutting measures and improper water treatment,” that the state “didn’t require treatment to prevent corrosion,” after a “a state-appointed emergency manager” switched the water supply to the Flint River.

There is no safe level of lead exposure; each nanogram causes harm. In addition to long-known risks, such as damage to children’s brains and certain cancers, there is also significant evidence that exposure to lead is linked to numerous cardiovascular diseases, including stroke and heart attack.

The coalition mobilized the citizenry and filed a lawsuit against Flint and Michigan state officials to secure safe water. The result was a settlement in March 2017, under which a federal court in Detroit ordered Flint to give every resident the opportunity to have their lead pipe replaced at no cost, as well as conduct comprehensive tap water testing, implement a faucet filter distribution and education program, and maintain funding for health programs to help residents deal with the effects of Flint’s tainted water, according to the NRDC.

The coalition then returned to court six times in six years to ensure the city and state kept to the timeline, which was delayed by COVID-19, and other reasons which The Detroit News described as “spotty record-keeping” and “ineffective management.”

On July 1st, the State of Michigan submitted a progress report to a federal court confirming that, more than eight years after the settlement, nearly 11,000 lead pipes were replaced and more than 28,000 properties were restored where the maintenance had taken place.

Of the 4,200 buildings where lead pipes are known to still be in service, their owners have either left the properties vacant, abandoned, or have declined the free replacement under the Safe Water Drinking Act. The coalition has said it will continue to monitor city and state progress on these remaining lines.

“Thanks to the persistence of the people of Flint and our partners, we are finally at the end of the lead pipe replacement project,” said Pastor Allen C. Overton of the Concerned Pastors for Social Action, one of the organizations that sued the city. “While this milestone is not all the justice our community deserves, it is a huge achievement.”
