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.
After 822 days, Gaza has been completely erased nothing remains. We are trapped here; no one can leave.Life in Gaza is being slaughtered slowly. We live like ghosts without shelter, without hope, without a future. Our children are being forcibly driven into loss, devoured by hunger, cold, and disease in deadly silence.
What is happening is a crime committed before the eyes of the world, and we are forgotten without a voice, without anyone to remember us.
We will not forgive anyone who witnesses this injustice and chooses silence instead of offering any help.
Our suffering never ends. The occupation continues its crimes, ignoring any ceasefire, destroying our homes and killing our children day after day. We plead with you to carry our voice to the world you are our only hope.
Our suffering intensifies these days with the falling rain. Deadly cold pierces our torn tents and the remnants of our destroyed homes, and our children tremble from the cold without blankets or warmth. The rain floods us, diseases pursue us, and the bleeding pain continues in cruel silence before a world that watches and does not move.
Hello everyone, I'm writing to you with an urgent update regarding the situation of our family, the Inas family. We are living in very difficult conditions, especially with the onset of winter. Our current residence is not equipped to withstand the cold and rain, leaving our family members – particularly the children – vulnerable to health risks💔.
Our family urgently needs:🚨
Suitable blankets to protect us from the rain and cold.
Winter clothing for the children and all family members.
Blankets to keep us warm during the cold days.
I am Enas, and I have eight children. I don't know how to describe to you the feelings of war, the pain, the suffering, and the destruction
Please, whoever can offer assistance, don't hesitate. We are going through a very difficult time, and even a small amount of help could make a huge difference in our lives🙏😭.
May God reward you all🫂.

Hello friends, this is the latest update about my family😊.
We haven't received any donations for many days, and the situation is getting worse every day. The tent is flooded with rainwater, and we are living in harsh conditions with a severe shortage of the most basic necessities. The children are suffering the most.
We implore you, in the name of God and your humanity, not to leave us alone. Any help, no matter how small, could save us from a real tragedy.
Please don't forget us in your support and prayers🙏🫂.
Before the war, I was studying in peace and safety, but because of the war and the loss of my family’s source of income like so many others here our life completely changed. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has donated, shared my campaign, or supported me. Your kindness has given me hope and light to continue my education despite everything. Now, after the war, I humbly ask for your support once again , to help my family cover rent, food, and medicine, and to allow me to continue my university studies until we can rebuild our lives and recover our source of income.
Deadline: 18 Nov.
$21,071 / $21,800 ( $729 left)

In the heart of Gaza City, amidst the turmoil of conflict and resilience, Tawfik's… Tawfik Wal needs your support for Support Tawfik Dream o
The Nazi Israeli army began sweeping, destroying and bombing buildings on a very large scale, using weapons that we have never heard of before and that are very strange, as shown in the picture.
The Israeli incursion into the heart of Gaza City has forced countless families to flee south, leaving behind their homes, memories, and everything they hold dear. Imagine over 2 million people crammed into an area smaller than 40 kilometers, struggling to survive under constant bombardment. Streets that were once filled with life are now ruins; hospitals are overwhelmed, and basic necessities are scarce. Children are terrified, families are torn apart, and nowhere feels safe. This is not a battle it is collective punishment, a humanitarian nightmare unfolding in real time, and the world cannot turn away.
Map of Gaza City:
🔻 Blue: Fully controlled by Israeli forces
🔻 Red: Almost fully controlled by Israeli forces
🔻 Green: Currently under heavy fire, with many displaced people and civilians inside
🔻 Remaining areas: Where most of the remaining civilians are located

Hello, my name is Anas, and I am from Gaza.Some of you may already know me from my previous fundraiser on GoFundMe. I want to explain honest
since spotify wrapped is coming today i just want to bring awareness to the fact that around 86% of the songs on spotify are currently demonetized since spotify decided that tracks with under 1,000 cannot be monetized. not only that the ceo of spotify cashed out $35.8 million dollars in spotify shares in the third quarter of the year and it has been reported that he earns more than the top artists on the platform.
for a platform that claims to support artists, this is outrageous and i hope people realize that an artist who is starting out, cannot make a living out of spotify streams simply because daniel ek and his friends made it worse for the artists trying to start a career. if you wanna support musicians and the possibility for them to get a living wage please follow United Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW) which are trying to make The Living Wage for Musicians Act a reality so musicians can be paid fairly through streaming platforms and get the cut they deserve.
since this post was made, daniel ek has invested in ai weapons, and ICE ads have been played on the platform. various people are starting to boycott the platform this year (2025) so, again, keep that in mind before posting your spotify wrapped!

This happens all over the world, because the US government (like other empires before it) rewards charities whose "food aid" involves shipping American crops and food to a country, rather than helping that countries agriculture sector grow so it can sustain itself. In fact, the large amounts of "free" food donated by charities can destroy local agriculture because they cannot sell their crops, forcing them to find new jobs or start growing cash crops to sell instead.
Empires actively work against trying to "teach people how to fish," because they want countries dependent on "charity" from the empire and exploitative international trade. Bill and Hillary Clinton's actions in Haiti are despicable, but not unique.
"Charity" under capitalism is rarely done for the long-term benefit of those given "aid," and that is by design.
