We have three urgent requests today:

1. Contribute to a trusted org or individual fundraiser. Don't keep scrolling..

We know that the many requests can get overwhelming - like your contribution won't make a dent. But we have strength in numbers.

Here is one: chuffed.org/project/1132...
South Gaza: Tents, Food & Water
**With Famine on the rise, we will significantly lower tent purchases and focus on food (rice and bread) and water over the next couple of weeks**

Palestinians Stand in Solidarity with Anti-ICE Protestors.

Let's escalate boycott and divestment campaigns against companies complicit in ICE's brutal oppression of immigrant rights in the US and in Israel's genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.

Our giving circle transfers funds directly to 6 families + a mutual aid team and isn’t involved in how that money is used, because Palestinians know best what they need & how to get it. But here’s a glance at SOME of the ways the funds are used.

'A new landmark book celebrating Māori art has clocked up a couple of impressive firsts: not only is it the most comprehensive account of creative work by Indigenous New Zealanders ever published, it is also the first wide-ranging art history written entirely by Māori scholars.'

Tomorrow Cambridge University will go to the High Court seeking to impose an unprecedented ban on protests in solidarity with Palestine from key sites of the university. This is a major assault on longstanding principles of freedom of expression and assembly on campus. (1/8)

We launched the Society for the Study of the Past yesterday at our Palestine event - a response to the fact that our disciplinary associations have failed us. It’s already looking like the only club I want to be in… More coming soon, but for now check it out here: societyforthestudyofthepast.com

there are lots of places to donate and participate in mutual aid. one to consider is Altadena's seed bank - a project which under normal circumstances aims at free seed exchange for equity and education in land stewardship - but now also aimed at reseeding Altadena with native plants

can't believe an institution that billed part of its restructuring as centering Indigenous knowledge has the audacity to be so hostile and call the same cops that contribute to violence in humboldt (i can believe this but pissed this isn't part of the conversation around cal poly humboldt)
