Today is the 4th of July, America's Independence Day. While we celebrate our freedom, we must be mindful of the fact that the people across the globe that are still suffering. Palestinians have not experienced freedom in 9 months. 35,000+ innocent people (including children) have been killed. They are losing their families, loved ones, homes, careers, and lives.

I have seen so many people saying "what can I do to help?" and there are various answers to this. Here are some:

1. Boycott - Stop buying from companies that are funding the genocides: McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Dominos, Google, Meta, Amazon, Disney, Hulu. Instead, support the ones that are in favor of stopping the genocides: Wet n Wild, Elf Cosmetics, Huda Beauty, Calvin Klein, Raising Canes, Ben n Jerry's

2. Donate - There are countless resources out there that are designed to help Palestinians and I will link a few below. Click to help (one click, donates ad revenue), eSims (virtual SIM cards that allow communicate with the outside world), Ceasefire in Gaza (a website with reliable resources/information gathered in one place), GoFundMe (supporting displaced families in Gaza), Pious Projects Campaign (distributing feminine hygiene products)

3. Spread the word - You cannot say things like "I don't get into politics" "I don't like to pick sides" "I'm staying neutral" in this situation. The only option here is to SPEAK UP. Properly educate those you can when you can, share accurate resources/posts online, donate, etc. Palestinians are being SILENCED and need as much help as we can provide.

Support the ceasefire, free Palestine 🍉
