HAVE A BACK COVER

friends & supporters of the Crips for eSims for Gaza Itch Bundle:

at long last, we have a hopeful update to share!

this week itch completed a payout of $103,803.50 USD / $140,975.53 CAD to Crips for eSims for Gaza, the full balance of funds raised during the sale

please RT if you can!

❤️🇵🇸✊
(slightly truncated due to character limits) Dear friends, It’s been two months since the close of the Crips for eSims for Gaza Itch Bundle sale. In that time, the situation in Gaza has, somehow, grown even more dire. The near-total physical destruction of the region has displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into makeshift camps routinely bombarded by the IOF. Food and water remain scarce due to Israeli aid blockades, and thousands of ppl have been killed or maimed by IOF soldiers deliberately targeting the few remaining humanitarian hubs. Still, more and more people around the world are recognizing the genocide for what it is and fighting to sever the flow of military and economic resources to Israel. Every person who raises their voice in defense of Palestine is a tiny wedge in the gears of racist empire. Every donation to a crowdfunding campaign, every effort to disrupt the aid blockades, every refusal to normalize the daily horrors endured by Palestinian people is a small but necessary intervention. In this spirit of resistance anytime, anywhere, in every form possible, we are glad to report the receipt by Crips for eSims for Gaza of 100% of the funds raised by the bundle: $103,803.50 USD ($140,975.53 CAD). We are immensely grateful for the contributions of the devs and artists who participated & for the support of those who purchased the bundle. Crips for eSims for Gaza has affirmed that these funds will help ensure continuous service to the thousands of eSim users they actively support. In the meantime, we encourage you to do everything you can to answer Palestinian calls for solidarity, resources, and resistance. Please don’t hesitate to keep in touch. Keep fighting for a future where capitalism, militarism, and Zionism have no place, and the enduring sovereignty of Palestinians is recognized and celebrated by everyone, everywhere. In solidarity, The Crips for eSims for Gaza Itch Bundle Team
