As I prepare to welcome baby #2, I can’t help but think about the families in Gaza who are facing unimaginable hardship. For the past 16 months, I’ve been using my voice to raise awareness about the genocide perpetuated by Israel and the US (let’s not forget about the other nations that are complicit along with mainstream media outlets and various organizations). I’d like to take that advocacy to the next level.
Instead of traditional gifts for my baby sprinkle, I’m asking my family and friends to join me in supporting a cause close to my heart. Oxfam is doing critical work to provide aid to the people of Gaza, including access to clean water, food, and other essentials.
Every donation, no matter the size, can make a meaningful impact. Imagine the ripple effect of turning our celebration of new life into hope for those fighting to survive a genocide.
Please consider contributing to my fundraiser in honor of this special time. Thank you for standing with me, and more importantly, with the people of Palestine.
If you cannot donate, no worries, there are other ways you can make an impact:
- Follow social media accounts that share Palestinian voices (IG: @wizard_bisan1, @motaz_azaiza)
- Boycott companies that are contributing or complicit (learn more at https://bdsmovement.net/ or through the Boycat app)
