There are gonna be disabled folks who can't contribute anything to The Cause. They have no money, no energy, no physical ability, no time. They will need to receive and will never be able to give back. You gotta save them, too. Especially them.

With the EHRC acting like it is. It shows that it is really important to keep trying to get in contact with your MP.

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

Iโ€™m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Raghad. Raghad is 22 years old and was finishing her studies to be a nurse. She wanted to go into nursing because her mother had a stroke that made her lose movement in her arms and legs. They are now displaced with her 10 siblings.

People gave a record amount of money to multiple organizations for the people of Gaza and all this money just sat there for the past 2 years because Israel blocked it. I hope this money gets distributed quickly now so that the people of Gaza don't have to beg anymore

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 thatโ€ฆ

Please share! โš ๏ธ We are running an emergency drive for:

- a family besieged in Gaza City to evacuate south

- food (still a famine) & urgent supplies for 4 families displaced from the north

- rent/tent for 2 families

Friends are matching 3000โ€”so truly anything helps! 4184/7000 by Tuesday night.

I have no idea what Dr. Divya used to talk about on social media before the genocide...because I didn't know her before and she has since dedicated her account 100% to fundraising for Gaza. I greatly respect her for that and we should all boost her efforts

Call for submissions: Charity zine for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.

Deadline October 20th.

โ€œA Stranger is Just a Friend We Havenโ€™t Met Yetโ€ 
Messages of welcome and resistance.

Convened by Selina Shaw: selinashawstories@gmail.com / @shawberrytart on ig.

Islands, including the UK, are crossing places in the sea. We have a role and identity as islanders to uphold. We dishonour our heritage and our ocean by denying arrivals to our shores. Coasts are a gift that let us take in new life. That comes with the responsibility to give safety. We are a nation of harbours and lighthouses. โ€œA Stranger is Just a Friend We Havenโ€™t Met Yetโ€ will gather messages of welcome for migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, sharing kindness, joy, and protest against brutality. It hopes to tell our friends that they deserve a home with us and xenophobes that they donโ€™t speak for us.

All art forms welcome, as long as they can be digitally captured. Simple greetings and letters are also encouraged if you aren't feeling creative.

In support of Refugee Action and the RNLI. Out of love for our island and our friends.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israelโ€™s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
