For anyone else in Canada, there is currently an ongoing e-petition to the Government of Canada to increase the allowed amount of Gazan refugees. Canada has a long history of limiting immigrants based on racial or cultural identity, and right now, the Gov. has a maximum of 1000 Gazan citizens per year.
This petition aims to increase that maximum to at least 10,000 citizens, and to offer them the same protection and assistance as any other refugee group. The petition closes on May 26th, after which it will be directly addressed by officials in the House of Commons. You must be a Canadian citizen to sign, but it's very quick and takes only a few seconds. [EDIT] You need to verify your email address after signing, so please do not forget this step! It will not officiate you as a signee until you verify this!
If you're outside Canada, please circulate this so more Canadian users can find it. 🇵🇸🕊️
FundsForGaza is a page of a rotating list of fundraisers for Gazans - individuals and families who are in Gaza right now and facing genocide.
It is explained in more detail in this post from the official instagram account, but to quickly summarise, six verified fundraisers are highlighted at a time, allowing you to provide direct support without being overwhelmed by the amount of fundraisers, worrying about outdated information, or falling for scams.
Sharing this link and, if you are able to, donating even one dollar to one of the fundraisers listed will make a direct difference.
PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS IN JAPAN TAKE THE FIGHT TO GOOGLE'S HEADQUARTERS IN TOKYO
📹 Scenes from Japan, where Pro-Palestine protesters target Google's headquarters in Tokyo over contracts the company holds with the Israeli occupation and military.
Protesters targeted the tech giant over the company's "Nimbus Project", a massive cloud-computing project being designed for the Israeli occupation army and the Israeli government.
Previously, employees of Amazon and Google wrote a letter of protest against the project that was published in The Guardian back in October of 2021.
In the letter, the employees described the project as a deal to "sell dangerous technology to the Israeli military and government," and wrote that the project would "make the systematic discrimination and displacement carried out by the Israeli military and government even crueler and deadlier for Palestinians."
Those who protest against Israel's genocide are punished for antisemitism.
But for some strange reason, authorities have never cracked down on antisemitism any other time. Any other time, antisemitism is considered free speech.
It's almost as if they know damn well that protesting against Israel is not antisemitism.
You know how companies used to make flour sacks with pretty flower patterns on them because mothers would make dresses out of them for their daughters? We should bring that back. Paper bags designed to be reused as wrapping paper. Jars of jam designed to look nice filled with pencils or homemade sauces. Fabric that's high quality enough to use as a patch.
It's also worth noting that he's likely doing this for fun - corvids are very intelligent birds, and they have been observed playing games on numerous occasions. This guy knows he doesn't have to flap in that breeze, and has chosen not to
I got so fucking mad about the news around Rafah that I went out and bought the supplies for a protest sign. I wasn't sure if I could make it to tomorrow's demonstration, but I'm sure as hell joining them now
