Haven’t kept up with the Israel/Palestine thread but would like to donate. What’s the basis for choosing Medical Aid for Palestinians?

Someone in the other thread suggested donating to the Palestine Action legal fund, they’re doing great work

No basis, just recommended by someone in the other thread. I’ll add a disclaimer to stress that these aren’t endorsements and everyone should do their own research before donating / do so at their own risk.

Event by Bristol Stop the War Coalition and Bristol Psc

Castle Park, Bristol

Public · Anyone on or off Facebook

Saturday 4th November is a national day of protest against the Israeli assault on Gaza & the support for it from Rishi Sunak and the UK government.

Last week, over 500,000 people marched in London and over 15,000 in Bristol in what were historic demonstrations for Palestine.

At the London protest, The Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Friends of Al-Aqsa, Stop the War Coaliton & the Muslim Assocation of Britain called for protests in over 70 towns and cities across the UK to demand an immediate ceasefire.

Our movement is having an effect. Join us next week in Castle Park from 1pm onwards to march to College Green & demand that Bristol City Council & Marvin Rees add their voices to those calling for a ceasefire and for an end to the occupation

Not a super practical/useful thing but I’m realising just how important finding and mutually supporting others is right now. My colleague brought up that she’d been struggling and I just completely broke down trying to say the same. I felt guilty because she is so much closer to it than me (she’s Jordanian) but it was so important to allow that conversation to take place.

There will be a lot of very isolated activists struggling on their own and we need to look out for each other.
