A ceasefire doesn't mean the end. Our lives are still shattered, and our hearts are searching for a new beginning. 💔
Now begins the most difficult stage: rebuilding a home that shelters us and a future that protects us.
Every donation is a stone of hope on the path to a new life.

Yesterday was my birthday, but there was no joy, only ruins and hunger.
Another year older, carrying fear and my children’s pain ,no cake, no safety, no peace.
My only wish was for them to sleep without fear, to see a day without war, without tears, without hunger.💔🙏🏼

When I help my friend Mohamed, I'm not giving him charity. The situation in his life is devasting compared to mine. But I want him to survive because even though he's in Gaza he's part of my community. We became good friends long ago when he reached out. Help him now with this treatment he needs.

Trump claimed that immigrants were “taking Black jobs,” but even after he deported 350,000 immigrants this year, 300,000 Black women lost their jobs. Black unemployment, overall, has soared to 7.5% under Trump, while white unemployment has dropped to 3.7%.

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

Informational flyer about Rogers Park Whistle Protocols, explaining how to use whistles to alert neighbors of emergencies, with color-coded alerts, steps for use, and encouragement to form a crowd and stay loud for safety.

I wonder where the tariff-funded bailout is for the more than 300,000 Black women who lost their jobs

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I am heading out to the grocery store, and because, according to Pam Bondi, I am anti-fascist, I could be arrested and thrown in jail, if not disappeared

By the way, this area is a hop skip away from where ICE agents and Noem attacked a building in the South Shore neighborhood under the guise of capturing gang members.

Remember? That night where American citizens, including kids, were dragged from their homes and thrown into vans? 10 minutes away.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.
