Honestly so many great workshops on offer! such an amazing way to connect and support the people of Gaza 🇵🇸
To our new followers: we've been organizing for Palestinian families in Gaza since July of this year. We are closing in on 2,000 workshop participants (since we started keeping track). Can you help us achieve our goal this long weekend of 100 new sign-ups? We have 12 workshops and 1 trans. consult ⬇️
