the met gala is tonight, and i know a lot of us are excited for it. and why not, it's a fun event! but while we're here, please spare some thought for the people of palestine as well. they don't have a platform nearly as big as the met gala does, but they need it more desperately and they need it urgently.
i don't know if any celebrity at the gala is going to mention palestine or speak out for them. but we don't need to wait for a celebrity to show support or tell us what to do. we have power too. every single one of us here has a voice, and the power to uplift others using that voice. we don't need one person to donate thousands. but even if a hundred people donated $5 each that's $500 put towards helping a family survive. and that means more to gazans than i can say.
if you can afford it, please donate to anyone from @gazavetters's spreadsheet (here). if you're uncertain or cannot choose, then please consider:
my friend ibrahim @aburakhiaibrahim (vet | paypal | gfm)
the isnad foundation @isnaddfoundation which provides gazan students with a safe space to study and continue their education (vet | chuffed)
my friend mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 who is the founder of isnad (paypal | gfm)
if you cannot donate, please reblog so that the post can reach someone who can. thank you.
