Volunteer your time (under the cut)
🩵Mutual aid
Reach out to your neighbors – especially if you know they are staying home right now – 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 above and see if they are looking for volunteers.
Connect with a church or mosque in your area. From 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. 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.
🩵Activism
Find an official protest or other event via Indivisible, 50501, FREE AMERICA, or MIRAC. Students at many high schools are 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 ICE 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: SHUT DOWN HILTON
Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICE 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 the COPAL Handbook before you go out to observe. 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, 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.
Hello friends, thank you from the heart for your previous contribution ever, thank you again because you are present in our lives, and you love to help us and support us in these difficult times, unlike the failing world.
Only you deserve thanks and appreciation with all merit ❤️
The format of this post will be for the third time, I collect 500 dollars every month to pay the rent of the house we live in, many friends know that, thanks to all of you I was able to find a shelter for my family to protect it from the dangers of life, bombing and displacement, and as you know now we are at the end of the month 28/07/2025. The month is about to end soon, and the date of paying the rent costs is approaching, so today I will start with you to collect the rental costs for our safety and the preservation of the shelter we live in.
Important note, friends :
It cannot be underestimated, please take the issue seriously, there will be a specific time to pay these costs and any defect the consequences will be serious for my family and we may be expelled in the streets homeless, so I came to you I hope for your help, and I trust you as happened in the past, I have collected the costs in advance and paid them on time and I hope so this time too, I am sure that you never let me down.
The final payment date will be 04/08/2025.
We only need 500 dollars 🙏.

This is a final note:
Now at these times I was also collecting money to buy food in light of this famine, and now I have enough food for 4 days, maybe in the future I need to raise some money also for food, but I will currently focus on rental costs. 🙏❤️ .
Hello, these are my final words on this post. I'm now down $400 out of $500, which leaves only $100 left to pay the rent and keep my family out of danger. Today is the final payment date. The man told my father that the payment must be made within a few hours, or we'll leave the house and be thrown out onto the street, homeless.
What would you do if you were in my place? I have house rent costs, I also have university fees costs, and I also have costs to buy food, and we, the Kilani family, do not have any of this. It seems that death is much better than this life that we are living.
I need $100 right now, it will be enough to pay the rent, unfortunately I won't be posting much longer I have to go look for a place to live maybe on the street or on the beach on the sand I don't know but we are homeless guys

I created this art as a gift for my friend Diya. This is his son, Magdy and his cat whose story I shared here.
Right now, Diya is separated from his family in Gaza and has been for over a year. His family is facing the second winter since they were displaced from their home. The winters in Gaza are harsh. People are taking shelter in flimsy tents, that don't protect them from the wind and rain. The rain brings with it flooding that destroys everything. Diseases are spreading with no access to proper sanitation and medical care. When they went to receive polio vaccinations, they witnessed an IOF attack on the taxi in front of them.
The last donation was 6 hours ago, and there have only been 4 donations in the 24 hours. We need to help Diya reach his short-term goal of 30% so he can help his family purchase winter supplies that they need to survive. It is already November. There is literally no time to waste. His family has suffered through so much already. Please stand by them and do everything you can to support them. Share this post and donate. With your help we can reach the goal!

Gaza’s civil defence agency says 12 people have been killed by Israeli drone strikes on a group of Palestinians waiting to receive desperately needed humanitarian relief in the besieged north.
“Civil defence teams retrieved 12 martyrs and several injured individuals after Israeli drone strikes targeted a group of citizens and a vehicle waiting for aid,” agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal said
After the Zionists threatened to kill my sister, I tried to compensate her for her loss, fear and psychological devastation by publishing her campaign. My sister is a student in the Faculty of Pharmacy and participated in medical conferences and was an active member in them. She recently received many messages from the Zionists threatening to kill her if she continues to publish Israel's crimes on her social media accounts. Therefore, I am addressing you, my friends, and asking for your urgent support to support my sister's campaign, through which she aims to complete her education and get out of the war zone
I did not ask you to do this except because I know that you are brothers to the Palestinians and will support us.
