Senators are going to vote on whether or not we should continue to send aid to Israel on Wednesday, November 13th. Call them, bombard their phone lines with calls. Every fucking day. We have a chance of doing something about this.

This is also an option for email:

Subject: Please Co-Sponsor S.J. Res 111-116 To Disapprove the Military Sale of Weapons to Israel

Email: My name is [your name] and I am your constituent from [full address]. I am asking the Senator to cosponsor S.J.RES 111-116 to disapprove the following military sale of certain defense articles and services to Israel. The resolution was introduced by Senator Sanders. The US has funded over 70% of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and offered a nonstop flow of weapons even though there’s indisputable proof of Israel blocking aid for over 1 year, and nearly 500 reports of U.S. weapons being used to kill and injure Palestinians. Over 60,000 people have died due to indirect deaths due to aid blocking.

many of us do. it's difficult not to succumb to the feeling of not being able to do something and being completely helpless. and while it's true that individually none of us can change the world, we do have the power together to make an impact, especially on the lives of individual people around us.

instead of succumbing to feelings of doom and despair about the election, the climate, or any other ongoing crises, please consider donating to ibrahim. that is a real way to have a real impact on someone's life.

ibrahim is only 15 and is trying to raise funds to not just help him and his family escape the genocide, but also to survive in the current conditions. he has been displaced and exposed to countless horrors time and time again. the least we can do is attempt to help him.

please, if you can: match my donation of €10. if you can't spare that, spare €5 or even €1. if you really have nothing to give, share this post. don't turn away from suffering. this is your chance to do something.

Tagging for reach

Were you helping refugees at the border last week by donating to mutual aid groups or doing translation and outreach?

Were you calling for ceasefire and doing what you could to aid Palestinians last week? (Esims for gaza here)

Were you talking to your unhoused neighbors with respect and advocating for them and protesting encampment clearances last week? (There's no link just treat people like people and share cash if you can)

Last week were you participating in community meal shares and free stores?

Were you supporting bail funds and protesting the carceral state and trying to stop executions and humanizing incarcerated people last week? (How to write a letter to an incarcerated person)

Were you working to increase access to abortion medications and birth control and abortions in general last week?

Did you share information about DIY HRT and spend time paying attention to the books your school board was banning and make your lgbtqia friends welcome and included last week?

Were you aware of the groundwork being laid for a 2028 general strike and the ways that you could support one (contributing to strike funds, joining and supporting unions, attempting to unionize your workplace) last week?

Were you helping the people around you, were you caring for your friends, were you making information free, were you picking up trash, were you sharing a meal, were you tracking fascists, were you challenging the wrongs done by your government in the ways available to you last week?

Good. Keep doing that.

A better world is possible. Keep working toward it.

refraining from a lot of election joke posting and instead I just donated $55 USD to gaza soup kitchen and i encourage anyone else to consider donating even a couple of dollars to the people who will be affected the most from whatever outcome happens

you can also donate to care for gaza here

gazafunds is another good way to help; it shows you vetted campaigns that are low on donations

great question. while a lot of these gofundmes started to fund evacuations, since the border will not open they have shifted to covering the costs of daily survival in gaza

the cost of food alone in gaza right now has been reported by journalists on the ground (including @siraj2024) to be 20 times the normal price.

and it varies based on location. the north is currently being starved by the IOF so food prices are higher

and there is a lot of evidence on tumblr that proves that these fundraisers do help

@ma7moudgaza2 was able to buy a tent for his family and is currently trying to pay for a solar panel

@siraj2024 was able to secure rent for a (bombed out, but still) apartment for his family over the winter

@mohdiwais was able to fund medical care for his sister after she was shot by the IOF using funds he raised on tumblr

a gaza-based charity called care for gaza has also been directly assisting families with funds used from their gofundme. they even post videos of themselves giving out food

and those are just a few examples. hope this helped!

Thank you OP for this info 💚

Some people in my life say they would rather donate to an organization like UNRWA or Anera bc they provide food for many families, as opposed to donating to a single family. Is there a way to change their mind do you think or should I just encourage them to keep donating to those organizations?

A friend of mine used to post thirst traps on main until someone described one such photo as being their "asexual awakening" and I think about this every day

back again to ask for help to keep me and my husband from being homeless; we need $1147 by 11/1. we only have 12 days to raise this!

Peace be upon you, my dears. I hope you will consider me. My Tumblr page was blocked a day ago and I don't know why. Now I have opened a new page because I need help for my family in Gaza and my sister wafaa who has a head 😢💔injury and needs to leave the Gaza Strip and receive treatment.

There is a video of Al Jazeera meeting with my sister Wafaa. Here it is when the bakery was bombed and she was buying bread for her children...😪🍉💔

Also this is our house it was completely destroyed...😢💔 located in the Amoudi area but we wish safety for my family who are now in Deir al-Balah after being displaced 8 times in one of the streets in a tent they need the basic daily necessities such as food and clean water I hope you stand by and donate even a little to save my family and the children and thank you my dear friends thank you for your generosity and support and your prayers for us....🥰

These are my brother's children before the war who are now homeless and need someone to help them survive. Gaza is a dangerous place in terms of living standards. They need the simplest things now, such as milk, diapers, food and medicine. I hope you can help me, even a little. Thank you for your support and generosity towards us....😍🇵🇸🍉

This is @/keensaladbanana's new tumblr page as her old one was deleted!

‏Today's vetted fundraisers

I am Huda from Gaza. On October 14, 2023, our home was bombed, killing my 17-year-old sister, 8-year-old nephew, and 19-year-old cousin. My father was seriously injured and needs surgery, while my mother, siblings, and I were also wounded.

Our four-story home, which included two apartments and a supermarket—our only source of income—was completely destroyed. We've since been displaced, constantly at risk from bombings and shelling. My sister's chronic illness has worsened due to her child's death and a lack of medication.

Now surrounded by Israeli tanks, we face extreme shortages of food, water, and electricity. Contaminated conditions have left me with hepatitis, and we’re struggling with illness and malnutrition. The situation is unbearable, and I’ve lost hope.

We desperately seek your help and donations to survive and to find a way out of Gaza to safety. Your support can make a difference in our lives during this crisis.
