I never guessed that in my adulthood, I’d be relating to Calvin’s parents as much as I do in this comic.

The Shehab family (@danashehab) has been verified and fundraising for over a year. They, along with @amalashournew have started a new campaign to support their families. Their families have been displaced countless times, and they are currently completely unsheltered without even a tent.

Amal's husband was shot in the foot by IOF soldiers, and Amal herself is pregnant with a fast-approaching due date. These families have come together to raise funds to support themselves and their loved ones, and they need our support now more than ever. I was able to donate $15 to these two families. If you're able, please match my donation (any amount up to or more than $15 is fine, whatever you're able to give!). Here is the link to their fundraiser:

If you're not able to donate, please reblog their posts. Share the Shehab and Ashour families' fundraisers with others outside of tumblr, anyone you know who is willing and able to help. Let's do everything we can to get them the funds they need as quickly as possible!

PLEASE DONATE

Donate now—my children are crying out for your help.

Donate now—my children’s cries are begging for your kindness.

Every delay deepens their suffering. They need you right now.

Donate now—my children are waiting for the kindness of your hearts.

Every moment of delay adds to their suffering.

Donate now—my children are waiting for a touch of mercy that could change their fate.

Every moment that passes adds to their burden.

Your support now is our last hope.

Please donate

(I'm a summer baby myself!)

Now that I have you here, please help Amal @amal-ashour-new and the Shehab family @danashehab with their campaign! Anything you can do (reblog, donate, make your own posts about them, etc) will help!

When Negroes looked for the second phase, they realization of equality, they found many of their white allies had quietly disappeared. The Negroes of America had taken the President, the press and the pulpit at their word when they spoke of broad terms of freedom and justice. But the absence of brutality and unregenerate evil is not the presence of justice. To stay murder is not the same thing as to ordain brotherhood.

The word was broken, and the free running expectations of the Negro crashed into the stone walls of white resistance. The result was havoc. Negroes felt cheated, especially in the north, while many whites felt that the Negroes had gained so much it was virtually impudent and greedy to ask for more so soon."
