Living on a planet where any government is allowed to go through with military action that they know will result in the death of civilians should be gut-wrenchingly painful for all of us. Over 10,000 children have died in Palestine since October 7th, and there is not a single child in Gaza who is not suffering. CHILDREN. INFANTS. I can't stop thinking about all the innocent children we are losing and leaving to suffer every day.
Please use whatever privilege you have to do whatever you can during the Global Strike for Palestine (January 21st - 28th). Contact your representatives. Call for an immediate ceasefire. Boycott, stimulate the economy as minimally as possible, participate in pro-Palestinian protests, educate yourself, and most importantly, amplify the voices of Palestinians.
A few ways you can donate to/support people in Palestine:
Palestine Children's Relief Fund
Handmade Palestine (the inspiration for this post)
[ID: a digital illustration of black, white, and green text on a bright red background. The text reads "do not let them die in silence. strike. speak up. stand with Palestine." in all caps. The text is surrounded by small toys, pencils, and other handmade objects depicted in the same black, white, and green colors. End ID]
