You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

doing nothing does not mean that kosa will lose, YOU MUST DO SOMETHING SO THAT KOSA WON'T RUIN THE INTERNET.

Hey, so, uh…

KOSA literally violates the First Amendment freedoms. If this is passed, then that means the Constitution and Bill of Rights are basically void, because Congress are ignoring them. THATS A PROBLEM

As a teen myself, it pisses me off. I wish for anarchy, with everything the US government has been doing, from supporting Israhell to this bullshit.

Please, do what you can to prevent this from getting passed. It violates everyone’s rights in the US, and if it gets passed, then we’re back to where we started; a monarchy. Just with far too many people.

I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.

but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.

telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.

It kills me how everyday the posts and content about Palestine decrease because of how many people are getting killed everyday.

It also kills me how many stopped boycotting or has never even tried to boycott.

Somethings are so small to do and easy yet people don't even bother when it's a genocide that has been going and going and going not since October 7th but for decades.

why do you dislike knowyourmeme? I know they misgender bridget in her article so I wouldn't be surprised if they're shitty but like

same reason i don't like deviantart anymore; parent company is based in a country that's been committing an active genocide and attempt at colonizing for over 70 years

Jeff Bezos's Amazon and Elon Musk's SpaceX are both fighting in court to have the National Labor Relations Board declared unconstitutional. Starbuck's and Trader Joe's joined them in separate lawsuits. All of these companies have a disgraceful history of worker abuse and union busting. All of them have been charged by the NLRB with hundreds of violations of workers’ organizing rights The NLRB is standing up to their union busting. That’s why they’re trying to destroy the NLRB. I'm going to do my best to keep you all informed about this case as it snakes its way through the courts. The future of unions may depend on the final verdict. http://dlvr.it/T49LM1

Don't think we haven't noticed how people slowly tapered off their support for Palestine or their action for Palestine.

Palestine is not a trend, it's not the cause of the week. Its been occupied for a century. You don't just get to dip your toe in and leave. Prove with action that you're more than just a random with a Free Palestine in your bio. Keep talking about Palestine. Keep posting about Palestine. Keep donating. Keep protesting. Keep making noise. Keep agitating.

Petition for Canada to stop arming Israel

In case you haven’t seen it yet: here’s a petition for Canada to stop arming Israel. https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-4745

so the house of representatives just passed a bill that will now move to the senate to BAN tik tok completely in the united states and they are expected to argue that “national security risks” outweigh the freedom of speech and first amendment rights. biden has already said that if it gets to him, he will sign it. whether or not you use the app…….this is something to be worried about

STOP KOSA

hi, normally I don't do this kind of post but this is important

there is a bill called "kids online act safety" where they are going to "protect children", but they are going to censor them, ask for their ID to use social media, ban LGBT and pro-Palestinian content, ect.

this is obviously dangerous, especially for lgbt adolescents or victims of abuse.

so if you don't want this not to happen then go to these websites

btw pls make #stopkosa trend on tumblr, twitter, instagram, ect.

WE CAN STOP KOSA

GUMROAD IS BANNING NSFW CONTENT IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, so I might as well.

They've updated their content policy to comply with payment processor Stripe and Paypal's censorhip. They gave 24 hours. On March 16th 2024, Gumroad TOS will no longer allows sales of any written or drawn nsfw content.

This is going to hurt for so many creators. Giving that little time leaves people's source of income wildly unstable, especially with such a huge overhaul of what content is allowed.

I hate this. I hate what censorship is turning the internet into. I hate that nsfw content creators keeo getting pushed to the fringes, that they need to digitally migrate so often, because nowhere can be trusted to allow their art for long.

I don't know what to do next, there isn't some sort of "here's what you can do to help!" People just deserve to know.

Please do not contribute to the demonization of Palestinian boys and men by erasing them from your pro-Palestinian posts. Innocent civilians have been killed and others have survived and have to endure survivor's guilt and an indescribable amount of grief and fear. That includes men, women, and children. Palestinian men and boys are innocent too. They've been humiliated, subjected to sexual violence at the hands of the occupation, had to carry the remains of their loved ones, and a lot of them have been killed during carpet bombings or by Israeli snipers.

Please do not exclude them!
