Is There Anything I Can Do To Help Palestinians Besides Call My Representatives And Beg Them To Stop

Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?

This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:

BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/

Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/

Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel

Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one

You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them

Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture

If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already

Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything

Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything

See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.

Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare

KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.

Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.

Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.

If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.

not sure if my post tagging you worked since I'm new to using tumblr, and I'm noticing the my posts not appearing, but your leonie spikey hair post inspired me to try and do "quick" edits. " " because I ended up spending a whole day on it. But anyways some more spikey haired leonie.

These are great! I especially love the middle one!

I don’t believe I got a notification for being tagged?

If you’ve just created your account recently, tumblr sometimes takes time to kinda, I guess verify the account? (idk if they actually do anything tbh) but I do know that it takes time for posts to show up in tags if your account is new! The same thing happened to me when I first created this account, and I remember being really frustrated about it 😭

I actually saw someone draw something similar on Twitter and draw Leonie with short spiky hair and honestly, even though my edits were a joke, I kinda wish they did something similar in the official design lol

🎀 & Yuki please?~ :3

Of course! A bit of Yuki is always welcome! Hope you like it, love 💕

Yuki + 🎀 wearing hair accessories

Yuki wasn’t what people called say… a very open person regarding feelings. In that way, you understood you were quite lucky.

“You better not be peeking, okay?”

“Even if I did, I would not see anything you know”

“Oh, right”

After so long, he had finally agreed to let you style his hair, not that he understood the obsession.

“Am I pulling your hair too much? You have silkier hair than I expected”

He shrugged. It felt somewhat relaxing. You two were in your room, faint music coming from one of your phones.

“I think this is it” you nodded to yourself after a while, pulling a small mirror in front of him.

Yuki frowned suspiciously at you before sitting up straighter, his expression changing when he saw the final result. You had somehow been able to make a tiny braid with his bangs. It was cute.

He took the mirror from you, looking at it from different angles “It actually doesn’t look too bad, color me surprised”

“Hehe right? Ah, wait, there’s one more thing” he glanced curiously how you opened your bag and pulled a white lily from a case. Yuki’s heart tightened when you tenderly tuck it behind his ear “You are always making everyone so pretty, I wanted to return the favor at least once”

Noticing his cheeks growing warm, he cleared his throat, tyring to hide his face by looking in the mirror “... I guess If it’s like this I could let you style my hair from time to time, uh”

“You mean it? Yay!”

“Don’t get your hopes up too much though”

And while you laughed at his blunt answer, Yuki’s eyes softened. He wasn’t as open as Muku or Taichi, but he fervently hoped you knew how much these gestures meant and how much he valued you.

Maybe he should make something too.

Only to return the favor, of course.
