🚨 Urgent Appeal: Save My Family’s Life Before It’s Too Late 🚨
The war is growing more brutal by the day, The planes are raining down shells, burning, killing without mercy. Today, the Israeli army ordered us to evacuate our area immediately amid heavy bombing. Since this morning until now, they have killed 70 people, and my family and I barely survived. 💔
Most families have been displaced, but we do not have the money to escape to safer areas. The cost of transportation and displacement is extremely high, while what little we manage to gather is barely enough to keep us from starving amidst the siege, border closures, and insane price hikes. 😓
Time is running out, and danger surrounds us from all sides. We need to urgently gather the cost of evacuation and transportation to save our lives.
Please, do not leave us alone in this hell.
Your donation now means saving our lives and giving us a chance to live. 🥹🫂

On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.
Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria
many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!
please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month
By now, you all must have seen the news that Gaza had officially run out of food, as one of the main aid suppliers in Gaza, World Food Program, had announced that their stock has been completely depleted, leaving just a few days for community kitchens to function.
This comes after more than 50 days (and counting) of Israel's complete closure of the borders, preventing food and medicine, among other life essentials, from entering Gaza. There are children crying out of hunger with trucks loaded with over 100,000 tons of food mere minutes away from them, which Israel continues to prevent from entering besieged Gaza.
This also comes after Israel had deliberately destroyed swaths of farmlands in Gaza, specifically targeting them with bombs and chemical weapons that destroy the chance of growing crops. Israel also made sure bakeries are destroyed as well as water sources.
Diabolical is an understatement when it comes to the Zionist entity.
There are still things you can do. On top of raising awareness and protesting when possible, independent organisations like APN are working directly with farmers in Gaza to rehabilitate the agricultural sector and restore local food systems to combat famine, counter the blockade and build food sovereignty. You can donate to their Revive Gaza's Farmlands initiative here.
Additionally, keep in mind that this means whatever food supplies remain available in Gaza now costs astronomical amounts of money, so keep sharing and donating to individual fundraising campaigns. Gazafunds is a good source if you're not sure where to start. Remember that your donations and shares are often the only source of hope for these families.
Riyad suffers from skin rashes and allergies due to the severe diarrhea he suffered due to the unhealthy milk and pollutants that surround us. He is a displaced infant in Gaza, where everything has become very expensive and access to health care and appropriate medicines has become very difficult. Moreover, we are now suffering from the high cost of living and the necessities that our child needs, such as healthy milk and diapers that do not cause skin irritation. My baby is only 7 months old,
We are suffering a lot and urgently need donations to cover the costs of our needs
£2,096/£40,000. Donations are coming in very slowly, and this is extremely urgent, so please donate if you can! Share the campaign even if you can't donate. Every little thing helps!
My heroic friends who support the Palestinian cause... Today, after we have lost hope in this world, I ask you to help us and stand bye🍉💔🙏🇵🇸

Hi everyone! I've been talking with Sami and their family is in pretty urgent need of help right now.
After 475 days of genocide, hunger, cold, destruction, death, and suffering, Sami's only hope was to find his home. Unforturnately, in the last few hours, some of his brothers went to the area of his home, and on the way, they were hit by an explosion from war remnants. They found no home, as it had been demolished and turned into sand. They now urgently need your help with donations so they can get treatment abroad, as their injuries are severe. You are their only hope. Your simple donation can make a big difference, and your participation also plays a significant role.
Please, if you can, send some help their way so they can treat their injuries! Time is of the essence.
🔴 can you help me 🇵🇸🍉
I’d also like to remind folks of the vetted campaign list here.
Please consider donating. I don’t know what else to say to convince people to care. If you are able to, I encourage you all to look into the massacre from last night (Motaz and Bisan have covered them in detail on Instagram; obvious content warning for child death & death in general. Jewish Voices for Peace is also reposting/consolidating information and action steps. It’s sick to say this not the worst we have seen Israel do, but it is some of the most brutal imagery I’ve seen in the past few months.) Be on the lookout for other organized forms of protest most likely to roll out today and the rest of the week. Please be safe out there and please do not let the world convince you to stop caring about Palestine and Palestinians.
