Former New York city mayor Michael Bloomberg is joining with other US climate organizations to fund the United States entire 21% contribution to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This will allow the organization to remain fully functional in the wake of Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. This contribution will continue at least until the United States is able to rejoin the Paris Agreement.

I dislike the existence of billionaires as much as the next person, but it is refreshing to see one of them actually using their money to do a net good for the planet.

This is incredible, actually?

What's the point of being a billionaire if you don't do some Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark level philanthropy?

There should not be billionaires, but like, this one is at last doing something worthwhile.

A Call for Compassion and Action

LGBTQ refugees and asylum-seekers in South Sudan face unique and urgent challenges, including discrimination, violence, and exclusion from essential services. Forced to flee their homes due to persecution, they are often marginalized even within displaced communities or Camps, leaving them vulnerable and without access to basic necessities such as shelter, healthcare, food and protection.

We call on humanitarian organizations, governments, and local stakeholders to prioritize LGBTQ refugees and asylum-seekers in their aid programs. This includes creating safe spaces, providing targeted support, and ensuring access to inclusive healthcare, Education and mental health services.

Every person, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, deserves dignity, safety, protection and a chance to rebuild their lives. Together, we must stand in solidarity with LGBTQ refugees and asylum-seekers in South Sudan and work toward a future where their human rights are protected.

It’s time to act.

Compassion knows no borders.

Abood @abood-gaza2 and his wife NEED you to save them. Proof they are vetted here. It costs ~$8000 to evacuate to Egypt and that number is increasing all the time due to sick people trying to capitalise on misfortune and chaos.

"I studied accounting, graduated with a high average, and worked in a chain of clothing stores that my father owned. But due to the unjust aggression, all our shops were destroyed, and we lost our source of livelihood and work completely. I was displaced from my home more than 10 times, each time trying to find a safe place, but there really is no safety here. Here we live death, fear, and loss at every moment. We love life and we always have ambitions and dreams that we hope to achieve and we are determined to achieve them as well."

Please help this beautiful family who are currently living in tents and facing a harsh and dangerous winter coming up evacuate as soon as they can, and read their story. They're 1/4 of a way to their goal. Get them closer, every little bit counts.

Thank you very much for your kind passage and your good cooperation with us. ❤️

As of 22:45 GMT on 14 October 2024, Abood's vetted campaign is at $18,990 of its $40,000 goal, but he urgently needs donations to pay for his wife's medical treatments: She had a doctor's appointment on Friday and received prescriptions for six medicines that will cost about $25 USD each (about $150 USD total).

If you can donate to pay for even one or two of her prescriptions, it would make a big difference. Abood and his wife also need money for warm clothes, as it is getting into the colder rainier months in Gaza. (Note that Tumblr keeps deleting his account; the above is his new one.)

The voices of Gaza: Meet @aisha1928

Meet Aisha Rabah. She’s 42, is married and has eight kids, Muhammad, Gham, Karam, Jana, Tariq, Adam, Zain, and the youngest is Rami, who is four months old. They are in a very difficult situation in Gaza. Before, her family was doing well; Her husband used to work in a butcher shop. Her daily routine used to be house work, teach her children, and she watched tv in the evening. During the war, the shop got bombed leaving her husband unemployed. Their home got bombed, leaving them without shelter. Her husband got sick. Her daughter, Nagham, who was 22 and her husband, Mahmoud, 28, were martyred; leaving their son who was born during the war, Sami, with her family.

Their condition has only worsened. “There is no bread, there is bombing everywhere, even the ‘safe’ places are being bombed. My children cry because they want to eat, but the food is very expensive and my husband doesn’t work. My little son cries every day, wanting an egg and meat, and I cry with him, feeling sad for him.” Mrs. Rabah told me.

Her children who should only be worrying about school and their dreams have to worry about the next time they’ll eat and if they will have shelter the next day. They just want to be able to live in Gaza in peace. “I don’t want to leave my country; Gaza is beautiful, I have no other country like it”, she said when asked if she wanted to leave Gaza.

Please donate to help her and her family survive. No one, especially children, deserve to go through this. If you can’t please reblog and share this.

Please help my family

My name is Aisha

Help them please

Don't SKIP HELp😍💕😭

am Asmaa Abed from Gaza, 39 years old💔👀

The whole world witnessed the tragedy that struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I survived many previous wars. But today we face the most dangerous and fiercest battle in the current war. We are in urgent need, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs of food, water and safe shelter.😍💔

Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, as my family and I were evacuated from southern Gaza to West Mawasi Khan Yunis, hoping to return soon, but it was not meant to happen. It was a new house I built before the war, it cost me a lot of money and I couldn't be happy with it. It was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed. Our home, once a bastion of hope, is now in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.

The night before we left for Mawasi Khan Yunis al-Bahr was terrifying. The sounds of bombing were everywhere, making a loud noise that seemed to penetrate our souls. Each explosion shook the ground like an earthquake, sending waves of fear through our trembling bodies. It fills us with fear. The smell of destruction and blood wafted through the air, making it difficult to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation all around us💘💝❤️‍🔥

asmaa's account and campaign were recently created, and have not yet been verified. i personally cannot vet/verify fundraisers, however i can say that i did not find any duplicates of the photos shared through reverse image search, and i am inclined to believe this campaign is legitimate.

$300/$20,000 has been raised as of august 28. please share and consider donating! if you can spare even $5, it adds up to make a difference, especially for a recently created campaign that needs help to build up momentum.

Now @asma-family2 (same gfm link).

This campaign is vetted by association through @mohiy-gaza2 (vet). Asmaa is his sister. Proof under cut.

Disclaimer: I am NOT an official vetter and I did NOT vet this. That was done by the aforementioned vetted Palestinian, I'm just the messenger. I personally believe this campaign is legitimate given the evidence and encourage you to share and donate if you feel comfortable.

I am Mohi's sister @mohiy-gaza2

Please help them they have been vetted so please help them
