Palestine and Queer Liberation

April 17, 2024

Good morning! Always remember: YOU can take action to help liberate Palestine. Here are our recommendations for today.

LEARN. Read this article about Chef Marcelle G Afram, a trans activist, and DC-based chef. “There's just no more time to waste. How much less pain would I have been in my life if I saw anybody like me, trans or Palestinian, who wasn’t villainized? The two just go hand in hand for me — transition became about reclamation and no more lies.”

NOTICE. Did any of your feelings or emotions change from the beginning to the end of the article? Did anything surprise you?

ACT. Look at the Queers for Palestine Linktree here, and take as many actions as you can from this list.

SHARE. Right now, forward this email to three people you know and ask them to take this same action.

ASK. What questions come up for you as you think about Palestine and queer liberation and solidarity? Reply to this email to let us know.

Liberation for Palestine,

Rebecca Steckle on behalf of the Shades of Anger collective

P.S. Register for our weekly community sessions here.

Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the 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.
