Hello! It's me, Joint.
This blog post is admittedly more serious than my other blog posts, so I will not be using my typing quirk. I want to help bring attention to the terrible injustices happening right now.
WAYS TO HELP THAT DO NOT INVOLVE MONEY
If you struggle to make rent, then don't worry! There are still ways you can help.
- Talk about it! If you are in a position that allows you to, then talk about it. Tell your family, friends, and coworkers. The more people that are aware about what's going on, the better!
- Learn about it! The Israeli government functions largely on propaganda and misinformation. Educate yourself and others on what is happening to help combat it.
- Boycott specific companies! Click this link to be taken to bdsmovement.net! There, you can find all the latest information about what companies you should NOT support. They also have many other resources and information.
- Make a phone call! Call your local representatives and demand for a ceasefire! Call your mayors, your governors, your lawmakers, etc. If you are unable to call for any reason, then you can also find their email and contact them that way. Don't know who or how to contact? If you're in the United States, then you can click this link to visit house.gov! Type in your zip code to find out who you can call or email.
- Click a button! Click here to visit the website arab.org! Once per day, you can click a button and money gets donated to Palestinian refugees. It's a very small amount of money, but anything is better than nothing! The money gets made by the advertisements on the website, so you will want to turn any ad blockers off when you visit the website.
- Clicking here will link you to someone's Tumblr blog that includes a lot of resources and information.
WAYS TO HELP IF YOU'VE GOT MONEY!
If you are currently secure on food, water, housing, and have extra spending money, then you can donate!

- Click here to visit helpgazachildren.notion.site!
- Click here to visit palmuseum.org!

HELPFUL TIPS!
Remember! One of best things you can do to continue fighting for any cause is to take breaks. You cannot keep going if you burn yourself out. If you are privileged enough to afford breaks, then take them. Use the extra energy to fight harder when and if you can!
"Doomscrolling" is defined as the excessive consumption of world news, typically negative news, from the Internet and social media. Doomscrolling and spreading awareness online are two completely different things. Protect your mental health! Don't doomscroll.
Don't feed the trolls! If someone makes a hateful or racist comment, then report and block them!
This blog will be updated when I can to provide more resources, more information, and more places to donate funds to. I also plan on making a more accessible plain text version.
Feel free to use these web graphics on your profile. You can also provide a link to this blog or any of the resources I have linked.
