Hi, y'all. A Palestinian woman by the name of Ghada (@ghadaanqar11) reached out to me this week and requested my help getting some reach for the fundraising campaign she and her family rely upon in order to meet basic needs e.g. food, water, personal hygiene products among other essentials we often take for granted. Three generations of her family are surviving together while constantly being displaced by persistent and escalating Israeli military aggression; her father Nabil, her mother Fatima, her brothers Khaled, Mohamed and Ahed, her six nieces and nephews Lama, Nabil, Amir, Fatima, Eman and Noor, and Ghada herself.

Anyway, I know that a lot of people here on tumblr do not actually buy comics, but I do want to encourage people to think about what you can do to support DCBlackout. I know that I am not a person who's purchases drive metrics at DC comics. I only put in a preorder for comics once in a blue moon, I read digitally, and I buy collected editions, but yesterday I canceled my dcui subscription and while the boycott continues, I'm not going to renew it. While I'll probably still get dc comics through second hand sources here and there, I'm not going to buy any new comics from them either.
