Best Pali orgs to donate to at this time? Am thinking PCRF.

don't donate to orgs right now, donate to people. gazans need huge funds to evacuate to egypt, get treatment, buy food and other necessities. it is the most urgent and the best way your money can have the most impact.

here is fundsforgaza linktree full of verified gofundmes you can choose from

here is the operation olive branch spreadsheet full of gofundmes organized by different factors such as families, age, number of children, medical conditions as well as how close they are to meeting their goal etc

[xihe]

breaking normal posting to say: merry christmas to those who celebrate. i make a point of keeping this blog fandom focused, but i am palestinian. from a place not far from bethlehem; where jesus was born and where this holiday began. but today, bethlehem is under military occupation. today, on christmas, bethlehem was bombed.

if you enjoy my jokes and posts, or if christmas means something special to you, i humbly ask you consider including bethlehem in your holiday giving. ANERA provides necessity like food and mattresses to palestinian refugees. PRCS provides critical medical care. CFG is a gaza-based grassroot collective which gives necessities to the community. thank you.

getting incredibly tired of westerners responding to firsthand accounts shared by palestinians in gaza with the reflexive demand to see a "source"

because by source, they always mean a western news report

never mind, of course, that international journalists are banned from entering gaza; the word of the western journalist, writing in passive voice about a genocide 6000 miles away, is still deemed more 'reliable' than the firsthand accounts shared by the victims living through that same genocide

a palestinian shares a video of an IOF solider brutalizing civilians in gaza? not good enough; they still need a ''source.'' the video in question was posted by a palestinian journalist? okay cool, but does someone have a more reliable source? can we get a word in from the esteemed fact-checkers over at the new york crimes, or the iraq-has-wmds-post? we just don't want to spread misinformation...

honesty is such a lonely word

The Buffalo shooting occurred in a food desert. That was the main groceries store and it’ll be closed for quite some time. So here is one concrete thing we can do to help and that’s donating to the link below:

Buffalo Community Fridges

There’s a Twitter thread breaking it down

[xihe]

I'm still seeing a few donation posts going around for sheikh jarrah, I know people are trying to help and everyone has good intentions, but these donation campaigns are not endorsed by them!! there's a lot people trying to take advantage of the situation and they're stealing money. instead, palestinians are asking for you to place political pressure, protest, boycott, divest, and share what's happening.

however, gaza needs donations for medical, financial, and food aid. below I've linked some trusted organisations:

PCRF (palestine children's relief fund) is an organisation that provides free medical care to children in palestine: urgent gaza relief fund

UPA (united palestinian appeal) is also directly based in palestine and provides emergency relief in gaza

palestine emergency charity that provide medical aid to wounded people and work with PCRF

ways to support:

thread of some ways to help the brooklyn center community right now

gofundme for daunte wright’s family

support daunte wright’s girlfriend and baby son

no more size 4 diapers/drop offs for today (4/12)

help documenting mn purchase supplies, food, etc

support protestors/mutual aid

support medics supply needs

call these numbers and demand police defunding and abolition

brooklyn center mutual aid 

i’ve seen people linking donation links to minnesota freedom fund, but they already have plenty of money from last summer and i would instead redirect money to the links above and other bipoc individuals/orgs. black visions/reclaim the block are also not currently asking for donations. 

for those in the twin cities metro area:

candlelight vigil at 7pm 6pm today (april 12th)  (moved to accommodate those who do not wish to stay past curfew) 

protest at bcpd at 7pm 4-6pm today (april 12th) (rescheduled due to curfew) 

police are most likely going to start kettling at 7pm 

gas masks available for black folks protesting

some guidelines for protesting/protestor safety

more protesting guidelines

bail support number

beware that the fbi has a complex a few blocks away from bcpd (physical location)

be aware that there is a 7pm curfew for hennepin, anoka, ramsey, and dakota counties (because they want to fuck with the vigil and protest) 

curfew has been modified so that anyone travelling to prayer, such as taraweeh, is exempt 

walz says that ‘largest police presence in Minnesota history will be prepared’ to enforce curfew, so please prepare if you’re planning to protest 

remember that breaking curfew can be as simple as taking a walk, the more people who disobey the curfew the better 

donation sites for food and supplies

more specific needs

CANMN is also collecting supplies for protestors

remember to check in and help with local encampments

keep this in mind to avoid the spread of misinformation

if you’re coming from out of town: please be mindful of the community and spaces you’re entering and protect those who are more vulnerable. stay out of private yards and be aware that many young children live in these residential areas.

things to keep in mind:

Another black man was murdered by the police.

Rayshard Brooks was shot by Atlanta police last night (06/12/2020) during a traffic stop. The 27-year-old was transported to the hospital where he would die.

According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, this will be the 48th case of police shooting in 2020 that they are being told to investigate.
