Perhaps I haven't paid enough attention, but I haven't seen anything online or in the news about this, or rather, I've stopped seeing anything about Palestine, and that's unfortunate. Keep in mind that Israel considers the Palestinian government and many humanitarian and charitable organizations to be terrorist entities, which automatically labels us Palestinians as terrorists.
Legislation initiated by far-right Otzma Yehudit party drew mounting criticism from opponents and rights groups as it moved through the Knes
For the past few days, I haven't been able to access the internet because I've been busy securing supplies. Unfortunately, I've only been able to get the supplies and rebuild our tent, which was destroyed by the rain
I am begging you, please, I have had very difficult days. I beg you to donate and do not ignore. Please, please, you are my only hope. Donate to save me and my family, please.

(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)
Memorial Blood CenterΒ declared a blood emergency on Tuesday, Jan 13. MBC is the blood supplier for both tier 1 trauma hospitals in the metro area (Hennepin County Medical Center and North Memorial Health).
Reach out to your neighborsΒ βΒ especially if you know they are staying home right now βΒ and ask if they need groceries or toiletry items. Offer to pick up prescriptions, give rides, or shovel their driveway. If you know them well, bring them a treat that you know they'll enjoy. Or just ask them how they're doing and let them know you are there to support.
Connect with any of the orgs aboveΒ and see if they are looking for volunteers.
Connect with a church or mosque in your area.Β FromΒ u/MuddieMaeSuggins: "I know a lot of regular Redditors are not religious (myself included) but like it or not this is a where a lot of community organizing happens, especially in immigrant communities."
Connect with your local school's admin office and/or their PTA.Β It's ok to reach out even if you don't have kids at the school. PTAs are organizing mutual aid for school families, safe rides, school observers.
Find an official protestΒ or other event viaΒ Indivisible,Β 50501,Β FREE AMERICA, orΒ MIRAC. Students at many high schools areΒ staging walk-outs; if your local school is doing this, reach out to school leadership or the PTA and ask how you can support as a community member.
Join the effort to stop Hilton from housing ICEΒ by booking hotel rooms and then cancelling at the last minute. This action can be done from home! The effort is being organized by Sunrise Movement, who are telling activists to target specific hotels one-by-one. More info:Β SHUT DOWN HILTON
Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICEΒ and/or stationing themselves in high-traffic areas and ask how you can help. Check for local FB events where people are organizing and just show up.
At minimum, read theΒ COPAL HandbookΒ before you go out to observe.Β The DFL, Monarca, and other orgs have been hosting online trainings for constitutional observers (though these fill up quickly).
When you see ICE in action, start recording. Be as loud and as disruptive as possible: honk your horn, set off your car alarm, blow your whistle. Let people know that ICE is in the area. If you see someone being detained, try to get their name and a phone number to call their emergency contact.
If you do not feel comfortable observing ICE in person, there are ways you can support from home. Just ask the people who are organizing in your area. I have social anxiety, and I had never participated in any kind of political action before this past Saturday. If I can do it, you can!
Local organizers are requesting that people who help monitor ICE DO NOT participate in 1-to-1 mutual aid efforts, as these can put the families you are helping at risk.
If you have friends/acquaintances who are sympathetic but not politically active,Β reach out to them. Show them that they're not alone in feeling helpless. Pick a few low-commitment actions from this list and do them together.

Here are the messages he sent me:
He and his family are living in a tent after their home was destroyed and they were displaced.
The tent doesn't protect them from the freezing cold, heavy rains, and harsh winds. They're cold and at risk of catching serious illness.
Please donate so they can afford necessities like warm nutritional food, clean water, proper waterproof shelter, warm blankets, warm clothes, and firewood.
They have only raised 1,995/10,000 of their goal. This is far too little.
Donations are few and infrequent, leaving them not knowing if they can rely on donations to afford to eat.
Please donate now and help Moayad and his family.
If you are able, a regular monthly donation could give them more reliability to know they will be able to afford food that month.
Donate whether it's 50, 25, 10, 5, or just 1 dollar. Any donation could help.
If you are unable to donate, share his posts with someone who can donate and help them afford a meal today.
Reblog his posts with tags to keep them in circulation.

"My name is Fadi, I am 30 years old, married, and a father of four young children π§π¦π§π§. Not long ago, our entire life changed. Our home was destroyed during the bombing, leaving us displaced in the streets with no shelter and nowhere safe for our children to stay ππ
.My wife and daughter were injured during the bombing, and we are still trying our best to cope with everything that happened. Every day, we do all we can to stay strong for our children, but the situation is extremely difficult.Your kindness is a light for us in these hard times. Thank you for standing with us π."
