URGENT: Helping Palestine 🇵🇸

Palestine has now reached 6 months of genocide, being utterly destroyed by weapons made and sent by the USA and used by the Isreali military. Did you know that on top of the weapons packages we know about, the Biden administration has sent over 100 secret weapons deals to Isreal too? It is unjust and horrendous what we are seeing happen, and we must see an end to this genocide. We must see the release of all prisoners of war, and a return of the land to Palestinians. Peace must come. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!                See how you can help stop this genocide below… Continue to urge elected officials to: - VOTE NO on any more weapons package deals for Isreal - Support a permanant enforced ceasefire now - Allow real humanitarian aid into Gaza - Reinstate the UNRWA funding

Go to CeasefireToday.com & the Stop Gaza Genocide Toolkit pages for guidance on how to contact your officials with these urgent demands. Additional: Are they ignoring your calls and e-mails? Send postcards too. Tip: Print your postcards on the most NEON and VIBRANT colourful 100lb postcard paper! Make it SEEN! - 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 a VOLUNTEER ARTIST for the E-Sims For Gaza initiative as I am part of the Cartoonist’s Co-Op! Choose ‘Ovaettr AKA Orion Fern’ as your artist at the page above if you would like me to draw for your donation. - See what I am offering at my landing page for this effort.
