My name is Abdul. I’m queer. I’m a refugee in Gorom Camp, South Sudan 🇸🇸

The clinic has a backlog.

The food shops are empty.

We are sharing what little we have and it’s running out.

We are waiting for resettlement to Canada 🇨🇦 but right now we are just trying to survive today.

I know everyone is struggling. I know money is tight.

But if you can reblog, if you can donate even $1, if you can say our names

that keeps us alive.

We are not asking for much. Just food. Medicine. Safety.

We deserve to live. 🏳️‍⚧️

THEORY WITHOUT PRAXIS IS JUST A BOOK CLUB

ECOLOGY WITHOUT CLASS STRUGGLE IS JUST GARDENING

MUTUAL AID WITHOUT SOLIDARITY IS JUST CHARITY

ARMING WITHOUT ORGANIZING IS JUST TARGET PRACTICE

PROTEST WITHOUT DISRUPTION IS JUST A PARADE

PREPPING WITHOUT BUILDING COMMUNITY IS JUST CAMPING

People killed: around three quarters of a million.

I'd also like to elevate this linked study from the article:

New York Times article

"Sunil Rastogi, an auto-rickshaw driver in New Delhi, normally works 12-hour days to make ends meet and save for the heart surgery he needs. But in summer, as temperatures climb above 100 degrees, he faces a dilemma.

Should he work fewer hours, bringing home less for his family and delaying his surgery, or press ahead and risk worsening his fragile health?

“I feel tired as it is,” Mr. Rastogi said last week. “This heat makes me even more tired.”

For millions of workers like Mr. Rastogi — wage laborers, construction workers, street vendors, delivery drivers — the scorching summer in New Delhi often forces them into a bitter trade-off between health and income. They keep the machinery of this city running, and they are among the most susceptible to its harshest conditions.
