Links to help and learn more about whatโs happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Also do NOT say free Congo ๐จ๐ฌ when referring to the issues happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo ๐จ๐ฉ. They are two different places with different flags. Instead say free DRC.

Donโt replace your electronic devices for newer versions and if you need to, you can buy a refurbished one. As someone whoโs had the same refurbished phone for seven years, I promise you it isnโt bad. It works the same. Hereโs a review on, Cobalt Red, How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives. If youโre interested in reading the book you can buy it here.
Hereโs links so you learn more about whatโs happening in Sudan ๐ธ๐ฉ Talk about Sudan.

The image says:
13,000+ people have been killed. 26,000+ people injured. 10M+ displaced, making Sudan the largest displacement crisis globally. 25M+ need humanitarian assistance and support, 14 million are children. 4M women & girls at risk of sexual violence. 1OK+ cholera cases with 275 associated deaths. 3.5M+ children suffer from acute malnutrition.
As someone on twitter called out, since it applies here too. Do not say, free Palestine and then slap on free drc, free Ukraine, free list of other placesโฆ if youโre not adding ways to help, or providing information on their situation. It doesnโt help the other places because their tags just get filled with information on the genocide of Palestinians, when it should be sharing all of their problems. Donโt use their tag without talking about their situation as well.
Last thing. Don't let the aesthetic of your blog be the reason you don't speak up about what's happening. You can make a post filled with links and add youโre little banners and whatnot while helping others. And donโt worry about your following count, if they leave then they arenโt worth having around. Also post ways you can help and donโt worry about what you arenโt able to do, negativity does nothing to help. Donโt tell everyone youโre not able to donate, just spread awareness so those who are able can provide.
