Important update! Please read!
First, we want to once again deeply thank everyone again for donating to and sharing the campaign to help @moatazart, Mariam, and Maria evacuate Gaza for Egypt! They were able to transfer the money they raised into Egypt and begin the required paperwork!
Unfortunately, complications have arisen
The original sum ($20,000) included the cost of traveling to and entering Egypt for all three of them, as well as basic expenses required for starting a new life in a new country. In numbers, that is ($5,000β’3 people)+$5,000=$20,000.
However, the cost of transferring the money was more than 20% of the initial sum, over $4,000. This was so high that nearly all of the money alotted for living expenses is now gone. Their paperwork is started and they are preparing for the dangerous journey south, but as of right now, they have nothing to live off of once they reach Egypt (God willing).
It is frustrating and disappointing that it costs an additional +20% just to begin the process of reaching safety. Now, Moataz, Mariam, and Maria are in need of $4,000 in order to be able to have a place to stay and money for food in Egypt. The goal of this fund is $5,000 because it is now known that 20-25% of funds transferred will be lost to fees. $1,000 will go toward these fees, while $4,000 will cover living expenses.
Please help this family rebuild their lives! If you cannot donate, please reblog Moatazβs post and this post, repost the fundraiser link on your own blogs, and on your other social media accounts.
Thank you allβ€οΈ
Reblog please π«Άπ
thanks for your support. There are 19 days left until the end of our campaign. These funds will be essential support for us when we reach Egypt, to start our lives again and so that I can return to my work. We are still in northern Gaza and will not be able to register to travel until we reach the goal of this campaign. Can we reach the goal before the period ends?
Hi! Can you please add some links for Armenia/Artsakh as well to the masterlist?
Hi! Iβm not the creator of the doc so unfortunately I canβt edit it, but Iβll try to find links and make a little doc myself and add it to previous post! Iβll also link the creator of the doc too ((which I shouldβve done instead of just including the screenshot)). If anyone has any links for Armenia please send them if you can too!!!
Stupid messy rant
One thing that frustrates me so bad is the constant masculinization of black women. People were claiming that certain black women were βactually menβ, which is just weird for so many reasons. There would be nothing wrong with them being trans, but the point is that they were trying to claim that these cisgender black women were βactually menβ. Itβs both transphobic and racist at the same time. Black women, INCLUDING BLACK TRANS WOMEN, cannot be feminine without being masculinized. Part of the reason why I have issues with how I present my own gender, or lack thereof, is because of this stigma. I feel like I HAVE to try to look feminine even when I donβt want to. Thatβs why a lot of other genderqueer black people still identify as black women; itβs such a different experience. Misogynoir is different
Actual call for actual virtual strike by an ACTUAL Palestinian (Bisan, you may have heard of her, she has a large audience and a significant voice and say)
Very important, itβs on the first of April, spread the word!
Don't forget about the Palestinians.
Don't forget about them now.
Don't forget about them tomorrow.
Don't forget about them in a week from now.
Don't forget about them in a month.
Don't forget them next year.
Don't forget them in 5 years.
When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.
When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.
When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.
Don't forget about what we've seen.
Don't forget about what we've heard.
Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.
Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.
DONT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE! DONT STOP TAKING ABOUT GAZA!
DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU FORGET!!
