Just a genuine reminder, simply liking and reblogging posts or just paying attention to what's happening in places like Palestine, The Congo, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, etc. Does help!
If you can't donate or boycott because you're a minor or in a situation where you can't afford to try signing petitions and spreading awareness so others who can afford to can have information
Edit: there are a lot of good suggestions for what to do in the reblogs that I forgot to mention

FREE CONGO 🇨🇩
We have to talk about Congo as well, they are so in need of our awareness that they’re setting themselves on fire because no one cares enough !

I know the Disability Day of Mourning traditionally commemorates disabled people murdered by their parents and/or caregivers, but I wanted to take a moment to also commemorate the disabled lives lost during the genocides taking place in Palestine, the DRC, Sudan, and across the globe (including in the US). There are many ways for a system to perpetuate ableist violence and we must struggle as a community against all of them.
May the disabled souls taken from us rest in peace, every single one, and may the members of the disabled community currently fighting for their lives and the lives of their loved ones receive the support and safety they deserve.
If you have a bit to spare, please consider donating to Crips for eSims for Gaza and supporting their vital work.

I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.

I have the final designs for the Palestinian stickers done, I'll be personally putting them around my own school for awareness (mainly because I am fed up with them avoiding talking about it)
I have ideas to do ones for the Congo, Hatiti, Sudan, Yemen, and for the Uyghurs in china.

Learn about Congo 🇨🇩 We cannot , after finding out so shamefully late about the genocide, continue as per. We have to change our choices and make the effort to be as ethical as we can and talk about this!

for anyone who isn’t aware, friendsofthecongo.org/campaigns contains a list of actions you can take to help the democratic republic of congo, including pdfs of postcards you can print and send to a list of tech companies to tell them to stop using child miners AND a letter you can sign and send as well (+ potentially incorporate the main points of that letter into any scripts you might already be using for emails or calls to your reps!). friends of the congo also has a volunteer application form and a youtube channel

"the DR Congo players used the national anthem during their semi-final at AFCON as an opportunity to raise awareness to the atrocities and massacres happening in eastern congo that has forced thousands of humans to flee"

Here is the video of tens of thousands of Congolese people gathering at a cobalt mine:
If you aren't conscious about the products you consume, you should be. Congolese people should have never had to and never have to do this enslaved labour. This is beyond hyper-exploitation, violence, and abuse of power by western imperialist entities and corporations. Until this whole system charges, boycott big tech. Don't change your phone or lap tops every year (although that in itself is a privilege), and demand these companies like Apple be accountable for the blood they have on their hands.
