Still raising funds. Please support as you are able. I’ve donated to each of these this week and for some I am a monthly supporter. Please join me.
Today I will try to raise some funds for places and initiatives I support and that need continual support. It was my birthday on Tuesday but I was traveling all day.

I’ll add to the list throughout the day.

There was a SAF drone attack yesterday on the Nuba Mountains in South Kordofan that killed 47 civilians. It’s not just about history it’s also about the present.

"Canada exported $7 million in weapons to the UAE last year alone. And Canadians’ pension plans are invested in arms manufacturers like Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics, which supply weapons including missile launchers, automatic cannons, and Black Hawk helicopters to the UAE. "
