How to Help Palestine
This post is intended to guide those who have no idea on how to help Palestine. I am making this as quick as possible, so please inform me if there is another source you would like me to add, or if any of these sources are inaccurate.
According to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, what we, the average person, can do to help Palestine is:
Educate ourselves (reading and learning Palestine's history)
Advocate for change (writing to representatives, voting, protesting, and petitions)
Staying informed and engaged (reading reputable news sources, don't stop talking about Palestine!)
Supporting Palestinian businesses (and boycotting those businesses which do not support Palestine)
Donating to reputable organizations (the PCRF is a great one, however there is also gazaesims.com, Doctors without Borders, UNWRA, and these)
Notice how many of these are free and easily available.
Education
Decolonizepalestine.com, and more specifically its reading list, is a great start. I highly recommend this Palestine Masterlist Google Doc, it provides free resources and just about everything you need to be informed and educated. This Carrd is also informative and easy to understand. Pluto Books is having a sale on books about Palestine, and Verso Books even provides ebooks for free. Words without Borders provides free stories from Palestinian writers. This website also links to free resources. It is also worth checking out your local library to see if they have any available books about Palestine.
Advocate for Change
Email script; send the message as often as you can, and keep track of possible responses from your representatives. If they're advocating for Is---l (such as my representative is, however I do not want to doxx myself; however, they are Republican) vote them out.
Ceasefiretoday.com provides a master list of advocacy resources.
Staying Informed and Engaged
Aljazeera.com is a great resource for current news regarding Gaza, the U.S. government, and the victims of this violence.
As for staying engaged, don't stop talking about Palestine! Talk with your friends, family, anyone about what is happening, and use your newfound education to educate others! Make a stand and cut Z---ists out of your life!
Support Palestinian Businesses
This is a good beginning list, but feel free to branch out to other Palestinian brands.
However, make sure to boycott these companies, and remember to check any produce you buy (especially dates for Ramadan) to see if it is produced by Is---l.
Donating to Reputable Organizations
Here is this charity list again. Make sure that your charity of choice:
Is going to Gaza/Palestine and
Advocates for a ceasefire
Be on the lookout for scams, and if you want to help Palestinians directly without running the risk of a scam, eSims for Gaza is a great source; and, you're making history! You get to tell your ancestors how you fought for Palestinians!
What Now?
As a final note, every little bit counts. Please do not remain silent even if you run a fan account or have a particular "aesthetic," please do not allow your fandom to remain silent, please do not fall for the fallacy that there's no way you can fight against an entire government. There is strength in numbers, and every little action you make contributes, whether for better or worse. Please do not support Z-----t actors or media, please do not drink Starbucks or buy McDonalds because that is what is convenient for you, please do not choose ignorance and silence to what is happening. I am not asking you to sacrifice or put your life on hold, but you do need to care. Thank you.
