Send postcards too. - Donate an E-Sim Card for a Gaza citizen using the instructions at the Cartoonists Co-op, and qualify for free art to match your donations. - I am still a VOLUNTEER ARTIST for the E-Sims For Gaza initiative and would be happy to take your request for helping a Gaza citizen stay connected to their loved ones. - See what I am offering at my landing page for this effort.

• Take part in reoccurring ‘Shut It Down For Palestine’ days at and commit to things like educating yourself and your community, amplifying Palestinian voices, and more. Register your action at the site, and plan your actions in advance. The next day of action is July 24th, a horrific day where Netanyahu will be visiting the United States Congress for some god awful reason. We must protest this. I will be spending this day, my birthday, taking action for Palestine with a livestream.
