Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that…

We only have six hours left 🤷🏾‍♂️ share or don’t

Can’t emphasize enough that there are no funds to send on Monday.

That’s the livelihoods of about 100 people.

Ok?

i've lost count of how many times this website has banned my friend khaled. and now his sister abeer's account has been deleted as well. this is beyond infuriating. they are trying to survive a genocide and bsky continuously cuts off their lifeline and silences their voices. it's unbearable.

[CLICK here if you would like your name added to this letter] النسخة العربية من هذه الرسالة متاحة أدناه. Open Letter to the Bluesky Team About Their Treatment of Palestinians in Gaza The signatories of this letter are all members of the Bluesky community, many of us have actively participated on the platform since its inception. We came to Bluesky because it was a breath of fresh air, a place that felt different from many of the other social media platforms. The lack of a central algorithm, the ability to build and use custom feeds, and the lack of penalty for link promotion contributed to an environment that allowed diverse and interesting voices to find their footing and community on Bluesky. While some of the signatories of this letter have had no issues with speaking their mind publicly on Bluesky, unfortunately that is not true for all the signatories because many are Palestinians currently living in Gaza. These Palestinians are journalists, artists, engineers, teachers, grandmas, entrepreneurs, a man who owned an ice cream shop, a pediatrician who has been featured on CBS Morning News, aid workers, architects, waiters, pharmacists, students–and perhaps most essential to the backbone of Bluesky, posters. All of these people provide unique and interesting voices to the Bluesky community. However, unlike the other signatories of this letter, these Bluesky community members have struggled to keep their accounts on the platform. Most of them have lost multiple accounts and/or have had their accounts labeled as spam. Some cannot even make an account without it immediately being removed from the platform. Gazans undertake immense efforts to simply be on Bluesky. Sometimes, they walk for miles just to have access to the internet. They scale rooftops where they are exposed to potential military attacks just for the opportunity to get better cell signals–one signatory of this letter tragically lost her brother this way. They use what little money they have to pay …

Gazans have also been aggressively targeted and unfairly reported by bad actors. Many accounts openly encourage the reporting and targeting of any Palestinian. Several groups exist for the express purpose of looking for Palestinian accounts to report. We believe Bluesky owes Gazans, and the entire community who benefits from their voices, a greater duty of care especially in the context of the horrors they are enduring. We ask Bluesky to implement the following changes: Provide information on all Bluesky-affiliated websites in Arabic that explains the rules and expectations of the site in clear language. Investigate the accounts that are mass-reporting Palestinians on Bluesky. The mass reporting of Palestinians on Bluesky is a group effort to render the platform a hostile place for a community based on their ethnicity. As such, it is racism, and should be understood as such. Reports against Palestinians who have broken no community guidelines must be understood as racism, and the accounts that submit those reports should be disregarded in the future. Many Bluesky users encourage Gazans to tag or reply to them, and this is not always understood as unwelcome behavior. If an account is reported as Spam for tagging or replying to others, treat only reports from the tagged/mentioned account as legitimate, seeing as they were the only ones who received a notification. Send emails regarding disciplinary action every time it is taken. Gazans do not always get an email explaining what they did wrong, and those that do are required to parse a language they do not speak in order to understand their violation. Have these emails contain an easily visible link to information about their violations in Arabic. Respond to appeals in a timely fashion, many Gazans simply never hear back from Bluesky after they appeal a decision. In addition to removing Gazans for alleged spam behavior, Bluesky has also sometimes indicated that they are deleting an account for being a scam or …

End IP bans on any account from Gaza and allow them to make new accounts where they can comply with Bluesky rules and continue to be valued members of the community. We understand that even if all these changes are made, many Gazans may still violate Bluesky rules in the future, but we hope that Bluesky will abandon their punitive approach to these violations and instead embrace an attitude of education, cooperation and community care– one that works to ensure people in Gaza can participate in a way that keeps their voices heard. We also call on the Bluesky community to help and support these accounts however they can. We want to continue to build a healthy community with better community members and this cannot be done if Gazans continue to be shunned. We can use this as an opportunity to show how to protect all vulnerable groups in the future. We hope that Bluesky does not follow the path of other social media platforms and instead forges ahead with a different philosophy. After all, that is the reason so many of its users are there. Bluesky's ethos of "No Caesars” should apply to all members of its community. [To add your name to the list of signatories, click here.]

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first.

Hi my loves, I am again looking for pro-Palestine campaign organizers and receivers for Gaza fundraisers. This is lifesaving work - Gazans continue to face an uncertain future.

She lost her husband in an air strike and became a single mother to her two children Judy and Jawad. Nasra has struggled to ask for support but she definitely needs it if you can help ❤️

Kind reminder to every person who wasn't able to speak up. You are also brave. Gisèle Pelicot is using the justice system as it was meant to be used. Is she brave? 100% Does it make people who couldn't do this cowards? No. Beside all the sensation: why do people need to go public to get results?

Screenshot from the Tiltify page of Doctors Without Borders' Emergency Relief campaign. There is text that reads "MSF is working wherever lifesaving medical care is urgently needed". There is a red button that says "Donate" and a white button that says "Start Fundraising". Below that there is progress bar showing how much has been raised out of their goal of $75,000.

Screenshot from the Tiltify page of Doctors Without Borders' Emergency Relief campaign. It reads: "About Doctors Without Borders Emergency Relief As an independent and impartial humanitarian organization, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) delivers emergency medical care where the needs for our expertise are greatest—regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or politics. MSF is working wherever lifesaving medical care is urgently needed. Your fundraiser and dedication enable us to respond immediately and to care for the patients who need it most. In Gaza, civilians are caught in the crossfire, cut off from food, clean water, shelter, and health care. And as hundreds of thousands of people are forced to flee, we are seeing a chronic humanitarian crisis turn into a catastrophe. MSF continues to bear witness to the situation in Gaza and advocate for humanitarian access to be restored Since June 17, MSF has been mobilizing emergency teams to respond to the mpox epidemic across Democratic Republic of Congo. Our teams are on the ground in South Kivu, North Kivu, Equateur, and South Ubangi provinces to support the local health authorities. More than 1,400 patients have been treated in MSF-supported facilities since June. In Lebanon, MSF is distributing non-food items like mattresses and hygiene kits to collective shelters across the country. MSF mobile medical units are providing primary and mental health care to shelters for those in need. In addition, teams are running mental health helplines, offering psychological support to displaced and affected individuals during this time of distress. MSF teams are responding to multiple emergencies around the world right now. We continue to be guided by one goal: To provide emergency humanitarian medical care."
