We're also running another fundraiser too! This one, like last time, is for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.
Back in 2023, PMG viewers donated $67,000 to the PCRF, which is mad.
I've no idea if that's possible again here, but please consider chucking a few quid into the pool, if you can.

ROCKSTAR UPDATE:
Keir Starmer was just asked about the Rockstar firings in Parliament today where he described the situation as "deeply concerning" and promised it would be looked into by government ministers.
Not that a Starmer promise is worth much, mind.

The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed!

late last week, workers of different stripes gathered outside rockstar's nyc office for a protest in solidarity with fired devs in the uk/scotland. the message, as fired rockstar workers head into a hearing this week, is that they've got global support, and bosses can't hide
![ast Friday evening, despite the bitter cold, around 50 people gathered outside Grand Theft Auto VI developer Rockstar’s office in Manhattan to protest the October firing of 34 workers in the UK and Scotland who had engaged in union organizing activity. Chants like “Steal lambos, not wages” were accompanied by signs that read “No workers, no GTA” and “Bad boss = bad game.”
The protest was put on by the Tech Workers Coalition, a labor rights group with chapters around the US. Gershom (who declined to share his last name), a developer with the Tech Workers Coalition, told Aftermath that the goal of the protest was to keep pressure on Rockstar and show support for fired workers as they head into a UK court hearing this week.
"We're connected with the Rockstar workers in the UK who were fired, and they asked us to help organize international solidarity actions to show Rockstar that it can't hide attacks on workers in one country anywhere else,” Gershom said. “We want to take it to the New York offices and show [the bosses] that no matter where they are, we're gonna be here letting people know what they're doing to their workers and letting their customers know what they're doing to their workers."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreicymosy7nih4hadjuaf2hibtpvxh42oedtfmf3mzi7zprz2s7no7e@jpeg)
