This is your reminder that your scientific society is complicit in genocide:

Platforming genocidal tools of Israel (control of the Palestinian land, nature, natural resources) was not enough for @agu.org so they had sponsorship with Lockheed Martin to help IOF to commit genocide.
The CEO of AGU made $548,612 in 2023 while the 2024 meeting was sponsored by Lockheed Martin, which provides the following to the IOF to commit genocide in #Gaza:

Attack helicopter parts
Cargo aircraft
F-35s
F-16s
Multiple launch rocket systems
Hellfire missiles
Armored vehicles

Another night spent under bombardment and destruction.

My little girls screamed and cried from the intensity of the explosions. The night became like day from all the fire.

How long will the fear last? My children want nothing but safety.

Please support us.

Yes, so many things are happening at the moment. Yes, it can be overwhelming to compartmentalise the support for/join all the struggles. But connect the dots please. They are actually interconnected, so should we.

The concept of "earned settlement" based on a hierarchy of value is an affront to the very concept of human rights

Also again, if you are looking for a more general fund helping more families, you can support Keep Hope Alive.
If you want to help many families but don't know which ones, here is Keep Hope Alive that helps six families. It helps with covering rent, food, medicine, clothing. Basic needs to survive. Regular donations help the most.

The reality has not changed in Palestine. It's only getting worse. So why do the donations stop? If you are a person who cannot take direct action to stop the imperial core doing whatever they want, donation is one of the ways you can make sure people there survive and don't disappear, get support
Ramadan is approaching…and my heart trembles with fear that it will come with no food or warmth for my two little girls.

Our home is gone, and donations have almost stopped.

Please don’t let us enter the month of mercy in this helplessness…be mercy for us. 🤲🏻

I ran out of words to tell you that life stopped in Gaza, people lost their lives. You know this already. Now the choice is yours. Would you like to help out a family in Gaza so that they could survive? Or you choose to do nothing about it?

Caring for a baby is incredibly challenging under the best of circumstances. I cannot imagine the strain of doing it in the midst of genocide, with a toddler to boot. Please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a.

I am not a beggar. I am a human being who had everything stolen—my home, my safety, and my children’s peace.

When I ask for help, I am claiming my right to live with dignity, not to be buried alive under poverty, cold, and silence.

My friendship with H isn’t the point. In fact, his family relies on us getting them dignified help that honors their privacy. Because this is our obligation to Palestinians.

Anything helps with their recurring medical needs & more, & hit “weekly”!

Samaa lost everything she has. Her two daughters, one is still a baby, only know the displacement, the occupation, the sounds of b*mbs, screams, cries. Yet, Samaa is trying her best to make them smile. Help a mother to cover basic needs like shelter, medicine, food

I am a mother of two little girls, without a home or safety.

The war took everything, except my fear for them. Every night I lie awake wondering how to protect their childhood from this cruelty.

We are not asking for much…just a chance to live with dignity.
