The Gazans are displaced and without work, aid or medical services. They rely on donations to survive day by day. A ceasefire won't change their plight.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to make a home. And to others. ❤️

A message below from my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza. The civilians are homeless and starving, with infrastructure and medical services in ruins. Don't turn away. They rely entirely on our donations to survive.

A message from Tasneem: "They have completely demolished our house and destroyed my husband's entire livelihood. My life depends solely on donations.

Their truth will be exposed to the entire world once the hostages are released. For two years, they lied, calling it "self-defense" and "rescuing hostages," while in reality they carried out a cold-blooded genocide against an unarmed people."

Tasneem's three children: Rafif, Hassan and Alma.

My dear friend Tasneem and her family have been displaced several times, like many Gazans. As the attacks continue, they rely on our donations to survive.

Both Adulthood and Freaked are now available to buy and rent on digital. They're number one and two in New Movies to Explore on Fandango, which is kinda fun. It's been a very long road getting Freaked back out there!

ABC News: "Satellite images show extent of destruction in Gaza after 2 years of war."

Gaza has been destroyed, with hundreds of thousands killed. The civilians rely on our donations to survive.

An image of Tasneem and her family in Gaza. With the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children. I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on October 7. Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell. My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza. Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them"

Great book 👇

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 2d

The table of contents for Read This When Things Fall Apart is a crisis directory—“read this if…” [insert heartbreak, setback, disaster, or breaking point]. I wish I could gift a copy to every activist in Chicago. You can donate a copy to an activist in need here: www.akpress.org/read-this-wh...

The cover for the book, Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Activists in Crisis. The cover art features a person wading into a body of water in the woods at night.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”
