Hey y'all! so last year on #Juneteenth I started a lil #reparations thread. Some racist assholes took issue with that...
So this year I'll be making multiple threads throughout the month! It's now June where I am so I'm eager to get started.
Black folks, reply w/ your cashapp venmo ko-fi etc etc if you like.
Other folks, (especially if you're benefitting from the federal holiday) throw them coins if you got the means and boost replies in the thread for circulation
what the fuck do we do. theyve destroyed communication in gaza. they keep bombing. we don't even know how bad it is. if it was that bad when the world was watching. Jesus.
"Following the devastating results of a rapid nutrition and mortality assessment conducted by MSF in early January, a mass screening of more than 63,000 children under-five, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women, was conducted in March and April. The results confirm that there is a catastrophic and life-threatening malnutrition crisis in Zamzam camp, North Darfur.
Despite having called urgently for support in February when the results of the rapid assessment were published, nearly three months later, MSF remains almost the only international aid agency responding to this enormous crisis – and, as a result, one of the very few able to respond to mass casualty events in El Fasher."
"The conditions people in Zamzam are living in are deplorable. There have been no official food distributions in the camp since May 2023. Although a handful of UN trucks reached El Fasher two weeks ago, nothing reached Zamzam until Monday 29 April. On this date, community leaders were handed food that they were then expected to distribute among the people.
Even before the start of the war, people in the camp received very little support. Food rations were much lower than international standards, there was insufficient clean water and there were only two other health clinics in the vast camp before MSF opened its first one in 2022, both of which are now barely functional. "
We are one of the few international aid organizations still operating in Sudan since the outbreak of war in April 2023, providing critical care to patients who otherwise lack access to medical aid. We are also providing humanitarian aid and medical care in refugee camps and displacement sites in Sudan and in neighboring countries of Chad, South Sudan, and Central African Republic, as more than 8.6 million people have been forced to flee due to the war.
"The family is also facing a dire situation as their mother urgently needs medical treatment for severe health issues that she has had for years and are worsened due to the war. With hospitals destroyed and medical supplies scarce, they knew they have to evacuate to a safer place for their mother to receive the care she desperately needs and to have access to the medical care she requires."
The initiative has been working since the outbreak of war last April. Through the initiative, a field clinic was established inside the displacement camps in Chad, and a Troma Center, a kindergarten for children, a retreat for Quran memorization, and a sports league for youth were established.
Also, daily meals are distributed to the children of the camp, at a rate of two meals a day for two thousand children

Subject: Urgent Aid for Sudanese Refugees in Ethiopia-Amhara Region
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to urgently request assistance for
6,080 Sudanese refugees who fled Olala camp due to militia attacks. They are stranded in the bush between Olala Camp and Gondar City, and have been without food for five days.
The group includes children, disabled individuals, and elderly people in dire need of shelter, food, and water.
Immediate intervention is crucial to prevent further suffering.

"the ICC announces that they are calling on people to SEND THEM EVIDENCE of war crimes in Darfur ! this means that all of the RSF videos can all be submitted to them and be used in their case! i will attach evidence below for people to submit to http://otplink.icc-cpi.int en masse"
RE this post about the call to submit evidence to the ICC evidence of war crimes in Darfur
Here is an example of something you can put in the file (you can make it anonymous) and the wording is potentially triggering for the videos and those are for murder and abuse--> i am waiting to see if there is anything more relevant but right now thats what ive submitted:
"For the West, Sudan’s civil war is still flying under the radar. But considering the war broke out in full view and the humanitarian crisis is well documented, the inaction cannot be traced to ignorance of the situation there. The failure to address the crisis, or at least its exacerbating factors, ultimately amounts to a choice."

You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive
You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away
You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood
