"Israeli-Engineered Famine in Gaza"

October 23, 2024

Good morning. Remember that every day is a good day to take action in support of Palestinian liberation.

LEARN. Read this report from Makan about the Israeli-Engineered Famine in Gaza. While this report is from earlier in 2024, it explains the way famine is not an accident, but rather a manufactured and intentional act. This is just as important now as when the report was written, as North Gaza is being cut off from any aid and food.

NOTICE. What do you notice about how you feel now versus how you felt 2 or 4 or 6 months ago when reading this type of information?

ACT. Amplify the campaign of Palestinian families and mutual aid effort. This can look like resharing a campaign post with your own words, donating the proceeds from a project to a family and invite others to do the same, and/or create a product to sell with the funds going to a family. There are countless families looking for support. If you don’t know one, please reach out to us and we can connect you.

SHARE. Forward this to five people and ask them to take the same action.

ASK. What other kinds of actions do you want to take but need more information about to start? Please reply to this email (or, if you are reading this online, leave a comment below) to let us know.*

In solidarity for Palestinian liberation,

Rebecca Steckle, on behalf of the Shades of Anger collective

*You can also continue the conversation with us in the Speaking Up Network, a private social media platform co-created by Animah Kosai, one of the leaders of Shades of Anger.

Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We chose the name of our collective to honor the poem, “Shades of Anger,” by Palestinian-Canadian poet Rafeef Ziadah. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, and all places where systems of oppression are causing immense suffering and crushing the life out humans. We are led by women of the Global Majority/BIPOC. Shades of Anger is for everyone who wants to act for liberation and you can learn more about it here.
