As Mona's campaign nears completion I'm preparing for you this list so we can show these families the same amazing and unbelievable support we showed Mona and her family. The invasion of Rafah grows nearer everyday. Please understand the urgency of this campaign.
i hope that the discussion about student protests does not get reduced to "privileged rich kids faffing around at an ivy league school." setting aside that tenuous claim, over the last week, protests have erupted over the entire country. a few days ago, riot police beat, pepper-sprayed, and arrested NYU faculty shielding students; protests started at the university of southern california when the admin cancelled the valedictorian's speech; encampments appeared at the university of southern carolina, UT dallas, the university of maryland, the university of new mexico, IUPUI, virginia tech, the university of virginia, the university of illinois, the university of north carolina — chapel hill, the university of pittsburgh, uc berkeley, the university of michigan — ann arbor, MIT, emerson, tufts, the university of rochester, rice, swarthmore, the new school, vanderbilt university, with students arrested; students protested or walked out at miami university, northwestern, temple, the 5 claremont colleges: pomona, pitzer, scripps, harvey mudd, and claremont mckenna, stanford, washington university in st louis, students were arrested at ohio state, students were confronted by riot police at cal poly humboldt, after which they occupied campus, students were arrested at the university of minnesota — twin cities, after which faculty walked out; and yes, there are protests at the other ivies, most notably yale, with students facing mass arests after encampments, but there is also an encampment at brown, protests appeared at cornell, princeton faculty issued a statement of solidarity while students are preparing an encampment, and harvard banned the undergraduate palestine solidarity committee. there are thousands of students who are protesting for palestine across the entire country, facing harassment, arrest, and suspension in return
I'm making this post to help spread the campaigns for four sisters currently in the Gaza Strip, and their efforts to escape.
Update added to the bottom of this post.
The women in question are a business owner with two young daughters, an educator, an internship MD, and a photographer. They've each started respective campaigns in an effort to help their parts of their families.
You can also follow their instagram accounts: @asiafmostfa (Asia), @nusaibafmust (Nusaiba), @queen_gazal_gal (Sumya), and @asma_fawzy_photographer (Asma). They've made posts showcasing the condition of their displaced lives in Rafah right now.
Update
Ibrahim Fawzi (@ibrahim_fawzi_mostafa), at request of his aforementioned sister Asia, and with the help of Dylan McGlone in the US has also started a campaign. Please share this version instead.
Associated Art Fundraiser
Dylan also has an Crochet Fundraiser, where you can receive a Crochet Key in exchange for proof of support for one of these campaigns. You can contact them on Instagram via @__dylan__28 to ask any questions you might have beforehand.
i can’t believe this is happening… i’ve been thinking of the al-shifa siege for the past five six days and it has literally made me sick. when will this end?
unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.
leitmotifs never get old to me like holy shit dude there’s this melody that corresponds to this one guy and if you hear the melody it means the guy is there. holy shit. and sometimes it refers to ideas too not just guys. has anyone heard about this
