The Sameer Projects's Mass Displacement Response Campaign & reach out w/ campaign suggestions to meet any of their goals (ie. the $51,950 rent goal; or $35,222 for electric supply). It's vital we support this effort. chuffed.org/project/1491...
The Sameer Project: Mass Displacement Response Campaign
We are witnessing a historically tragic, a historically cruel, a historically criminal, moment that is enabling the ETHNIC CLEANSING of Palestinians from the North of Gaza. It has been 77 year since the Nakba - the “catastrophe” - that led to the dismantling of Palestine, the dispossession of land, the theft of property, and the attempted fracture of the Palestinian identity by zionist forces. The images are similar, hoards of people forced to flee under threat, in duress, with no where to go. But today the reality is even more dire as airstrikes and quadcopter rain terror on a tired, starved, and depleted population. The North is being leveled, with one objective in mind - expanded occupation, total takeover. ETHNIC CLEANSING.

For Day 30 amazing, evocative magic poems by Laurie Sheck. Body, history, self, infused w/by surroundings of innumerable experiential vision. Tomorrow I'll conclude this wondrous month w/poems by Adonis/late work. Please help R. raise funds for Gaza/Sameer Project via @openpoetrybooks.bsky.social TY
For Day30 @sealeychallenge.bsky.social Laurie Sheck's poems shapeshift selves, where history, science & revisited myth & nature are reimagined as converging of sense/imagination. Visionary erudite longpoems & suites. A remarkable sensibility. @openpoetrybooks.bsky.social @lauriesheck.bsky.social .
