Today, May 15th 2022, is the 74th Nakba Day. It is a day for rememberance, mourning, and resistance for Palestinians
Non Palestinians, please use this day to be loud about your solidarity with us. Today more than other days please use your platforms and your voices to amplify the voices of Palestinians and condemn Israel on every platform you can... Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
Seek out Palestinian journalists and activists who are talking about Israel's crimes. People like Mohammed El Kurd and Muna El Kurd, Eye On Palestine, Abier Khatib, Mariam Barghouti...
Supporting Palestinian journalists and activists is especially vital in the wake of Shireen Abu Akleh's assassination at the hands of the occupation forces just days earlier.
Please check out the BDS website for resources. There are webinars and online rallies and ways you can protest online from your own home. And try to learn more about the different kinds and of boycotts you can take part in, as well as how and why these boycotts are important. The site also has lists of things you can easily boycott including action plans.
DecolonizePalestine is another amazing resource. If you don't know much about the crisis in Palestine, please educate yourself so you can educate others.
If you're able to protest in person, this post wonderfully put together by @soullsword also has information on Nakba Day protests all around the world.
And donate if you can! To organisations like:
- Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), which provides emergency medical services for Palestinian children.
- United Palestine Appeal (UPA) - an organization supporting Palestinian socio-economic development
If any Palestinians have anything to add, please feel free 💖🇵🇸
