Strike for Palestine Feb 18th-24th!
If you're planning on striking for Palestine but can't miss school/work for reasons outside your control, then here are some things you can do!!
Call your representatives and demand they urge for a ceasefire!! There are tools online to look up who your representative is and how to call them, and there are scripts you can follow! If you can't call, email! If you can't email, write a letter! Please, get in contact with them!
Attend local marches/demonstrations!
Continue to amplify Palestinian voices on social media! Israel wants a media blackout, but we have the power to ensure that Palestinians are seen and heard globally.
Don't spend money or at the very least limit your spending! Continue to boycott! Follow the official boycott list!
Donate to Esims for Gaza and the UNRWA!
If you can't donate with money, donate for free by: clicking this button!
You can also donate to verified Palestinian go-fund-mes like this one and this one: www.gofundme.com/f/please-help-abdelaziz but remember, some people are taking advantage of the genocide to scam people by posing as Palestinians! If something in a go-fund-me seems fishy, ask around.
You can also make art with Palestinian symbols like watermelon and olive branches and post it on social media! Consider pausing your personal projects in order to amplify pro-palestine projects instead!
We can all do something. If you haven't joined the fight for a free Palestine yet, it isn't too late to start.
