Bi-Weekly Mutual Aid Highlight for Palestinian Families (16/01-29/01)

[16/01/26 IG Repost]

Announcing our next Bi-Weekly Highlight for 16/01-29/01, @ahmed.gaza.a ! Please see SLIDE 2 to donate, line #1454 or visit tinyurl.com/paa-ahmed2 to go directly to their page to donate!

These last 2 weeks, we were able to raise just over £900 for @reyad_krayyem ! ! ❤🇵🇸🎂🌠 HUGE THANKS to everyone who pitched in during this quiet season at the start of the year to help keep our Bi-Weekly families supported!

We are also actively looking for a band to ‘match’ with him for CONTINUOUS fundraising over the next 3 months, so if you are interested, please get in touch!

As usual, receipts will be posted on Stories + in bimonthly financial reports. You can also check the campaign page to verify donations made directly through our network!

PLEASE let us know if you’ve donated as part of this campaign, so we can calculate how much we’ve managed to raise and encourage others to do the same! Our next fundraiser highlight will be on 15/01.

As usual, our fundraising these next two weeks from in-person events & online sales will go in part towards @ahmed.gaza.a . Please also check out our new zine launched on Ko-Fi for another way to donate! ( ko-fi.com/punksagainstapartheid )

Remember: SOLIDARITY IS NOT CHARITY. Give generously, give regularly! If you would like to be paired with a family to consistently fundraise for, message us and we will help set you up!

Bi-Weekly mutual aid campaign highlight for Palestinian families Join us each week as we highlight an individual fundraiser across our network to boost campaigns in need!
Support Ahmed & Mohammed's family This week, we are boosting Ahmed & Mohammed's family fundraiser. Remember, regardless of how much has been raised previously, prices in Gaza are skyrocketing, so the more donated the better.

What will the $€£ be used for? Medical Care Food & Groceries Childcare items Travel & other basic necessities What is mutual aid? According to Dean Spade, mutual aid is “collective coordination to meet each other’s needs, usually from an awareness that the systems we have in place are not going to meet them.” Learning, mobilizing, & solving problems together!

What else can i do?! You can coordinate with us to pair with a family and consistently fundraise for them rather than give one-off donations. You can coordinate concerts, bake sales, and other events in your community to boost the amount given on a regular basis. You can push yourself out of your comfort zone and make sure to always pair mutual aid with concrete political action, which is ultimately what the Palestinian liberation movement needs to achieve its aims. Remember: nihilism and despair are a cul-de-sac with no exit. Don’t fall for the terminally-online doomer trap! Our enemies want us to give up. But we need all hands on deck! ONWARDS! FREE PALESTINE!
