Remember: SOLIDARITY IS NOT CHARITY. And while fundraising is not enough, we must not forget our responsibilities to our comrades & kin. Don’t stop organising but DO keep building mutual aid networks–we’ll need them for the long-haul. GIVE GENEROUSLY, GIVE REGULARLY!

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 Ghada's family This week, we are boosting Ghada'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!
