You might be more than one. You might be different ones at different times. 🫶🏽🫶🏽 you might not be one of these. There are more roles 💪🏽 but this is an amazing intro.

You can’t just like the idea and envision yourself in one of these roles you have to figure out how to be about it ♥️🫶🏽

For Venezuela 💔🇻🇪

Yesterday evening, my home country, Venezuela, was hit by two earthquakes of 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude back-to-back, with over 150 aftershocks since then (several of which were of similar magnitude), as many of you may have heard. I cannot describe the devastation. They affected the north-central region, but the most damage is in the capital, Caracas, and La Guaira. So far (06/25/26 ~4:10pm local time), the count goes almost 200 people dead, over a thousand injured, and ten of thousands missing… and counting. I don't know how many buildings collapsed completely, with a lot more with substantial damage. There are areas with no power, so many people lost their homes, all they had.

I'm writing this to ask a favor of you.

First, keep all Venezuelan people in your prayers. Keep in your prayers the victims, those trapped, their families, and the rescuers and volunteers doing their best to help.

If you know someone from Venezuela, give them your support. It means the world to us.

If you're able and feel so inclined, donate to any of the following organizations:

I love Venezuela Foundation - gofundme

Caritas - donation page

Direct Relief - Donation page

Save the Children - Donate here

Global Giving - Venezuela Earthquake Relief Fund

Global Empowerment Mission - donation page

Red Cross - Donation page

Any of your local and legit organizations who have a relief fund or are collecting clothes, water, etc.

Even the smallest donation is greatly appreciated. Also reblog to spread the word!

Below are a few sources accepting donations to provide food, aide, and more to those affected. If you have any means to donate please do so. The Lebanese Red Cross - provides life saving medical services across the country

Lebanese Food Bank - distributing food and essential supplies to those who are directly affected and displaced

Egna Legna Besidet - a women migrant domestic worker run humanitarian and advocacy organization providing humanitarian assistance and emergency aide for migrant domestic workers

Disorientalizing - on the ground in Beirut fundraising money for rent and supplies to those displaced from Dahieh

Humans Of Dahieh - also requesting donations for direct aid and support to those displaced in Beirut

> it's good

> it's bad

What we have a ton of are refugees and their US born children and grandchildren. What we have are systems to help refugees through the legal process. Because that is how you treat people who come into your home- you make it their home.

And the ones at risk? Are at risk.

And also there is a HUGE and very well appointed network of people delivering them groceries, food, digital schooling for their kids so they can stay at home. People who have never done any activism before. People who haven't done activism since the 70s.

ICE is terrorizing immigrants first and foremost but the MAJORITY of people they take are US citizens or fully legal immigrants.
