🆘 The humanitarian crisis in #Gaza has reached an unprecedented point.
Hospitals are shutting down.
Food stocks are depleting.
People are resorting to unsafe water.
Essential aid, including food, water, medicine and fuel, must urgently be allowed in: https://t.co/v9mFZcRdmw
Rida is a member of The Strength Co. Costa Mesa:
"Failed 210 Squat Friday then came back today & I DID IT! 210PR. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall down, what matters is that you come back up - stronger! THANK YOU @braydenwilson_ "
In the run-up to the midterms, Muslim groups and mosques are pushing for voter engagement. To @RidaHamida, it’s important to recognize that Muslim Americans “are a voting bloc, not just as a faith but as different ethnicities and different races.”

It not hard to call out racism, homophobia, and anti-blackness. It’s not hard to push for accountability and healing.
It’s hard to watch other people you love and respect stay silent.
