Begging at this point: if you buy our books, please buy the eBooks right now. All the proceeds are going to the campaigns in Gaza we support, this is tangible help. And the proceeds for eBooks are higher. If you want to order more than one print book, please contact us. ❤️❤️❤️

The situation in Gaza right now is catastrophic to a level we are not even seeing bc all the journalists have been murdered. Donations for Sameer Project have plummeted at the time they need them most. Transporting one family south is costing thousands of dollars.

✨Bismillah! ✨We are thrilled to have @JibrilStevenson's historical western, a "Crescent and Spurs" novel, following a Muslim lieutenant's quest to put a murderer in jail during post-Civil War America. This is a story you DON'T want to miss!

[Gaza Funds @gazafunds]

Do not look at the amount raised and think they have enough. This is 2 years of genocide and the occupiers coordinate with their collaborators on the ground to keep prices high intentionally. They're spending every amount they receive to survive. Give them anything you can.

[Gaza Funds @gazafunds]

By donating to the spotlight campaign instead of choosing at random, you allow the donations to be spread out so our people don't have to constantly beg for your attention online, a dehumanizing act that no one should have to do, let alone under bombardment and starvation.

[Gaza Funds @gazafunds]

There are 268 stagnant fundraisers on the GF website today.

We encourage people to donate to the first campaign that comes up on the site because it will be a campaign that desperately needs your help.

@SidhePress just released an anthology on Grief titled “To Lay Sun Into a Forest”. I have contributed a poem “My Father, A Refugee” All proceeds from the sales of the anthology will be sent by Sidhe Press to @sameerproject in Gaza. To order: https://t.co/yRgFcWPqXq

[SÍDHE PRESS @SidhePress]

For those of you waiting on the new anthology. It was already uploaded when one of the contributors decided that they needed to withdraw their work due to the press` stance on Palestine. Needless to say, this is no small ask at this point and it´s also more than disheartening.

[D.W. Baker @lowermelody]

Published last year in @overtlylit, my poem, "Proverbs 23:10," part of a series of golden shovels using biblical text.

The verse: "Do not remove an ancient landmark or encroach on the fields of orphans."

Christians who support Israel's genocide, I ask you to reflect.

My friend ْMohammed Hamad in Gaza is trying to re-set up the charity pharmacy I wrote about for The New Arab previously as he had to close it down in January. Please support and share if you can 🙏🏼
