PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

We live in the worst conditions. A tent that does not protect us from the cold and heat, and everything here is expensive. I dress my children in nylon instead of diapers, and my son is sick and needs treatment. This campaign is our only source of income. Donate for my children🙏😭😭

My sincere thanks to everyone who has supported the Global Sumud Flotilla. I'm home safe & will be followed by the other Irish people today. I'm just catching up and have much more to share but for now I am so so grateful for everyone's attempts to free us. Remember that Gaza is the story not us.
