The first organization they said they will be supporting is Ele Elna Elak, a student-led organization that was created in 2018 with the help of Gazan journalist Bisan Owda.
On a GoFundMe page, Ele Elna Elak said that its volunteers also raise funds to help families buy other staples like water, firewood, medicine, and clothes — all while trying to survive alongside their own families.
Bazlamit also said that funds from the Hibr project will be donated to mutual aid campaigns that support Gazans with aid or by paying evacuation fees. To expedite the process of fleeing the area, many families have created mutual aid funds or GoFundMe pages, which allow them to access donated funds more quickly than through the help of a registered nonprofit or NGO.
That being said, Bazlamit said that she and Jarrar will document every dollar raised and donated on their Instagram account to ensure transparency. The choice to donate to on-the-ground Palestinians comes after months of aid struggling to reach those who need it most.“It’s incredibly important to us that we instill confidence in our tattooers and clients alike. We have nothing to hide, so we plan to hide nothing,” Bazlamit said. “We are happy to share the receipts with the public, in hopes that we’re able to garner even more support for our people.”
Originally, a single date — May 4 — had been set aside for the international fundraiser, but Jarrar and Bazlamit have now added two other specific dates for participating artists: June 1 and July 16.
Interested tattoo artists just have to submit a form to be part of the collective, which includes having their work shared on the Hibr Instagram account. (Continued in article)
On Thursday, London police arrested dozens of protesters who laid down on the road and slashed tires to stop a bus from carrying detainees to a barge that has been converted into a migrant prison. Authorities were forced to postpone the planned transfer of asylum seekers.
Hussam’s GFM is still very low on funds. They’ve only met a little over 12% of their goal, and although it is a large goal, I do think it’s possible to reach, so I’ll be doing a match for his campaign to help it along!
I can match up to $250 (USD), which is roughly €235, for a total of $500 (€470).
You can give to the GFM and then either send me a DM or ask (I won’t post it publicly of course) with proof of your donation! I’ll keep a tally of everything and keep you all updated on the count.
He has a large family trying to leave Gaza right now, and time is limited. Please share and give what you can!
So far we’re at about $118/250! A little less than halfway there. I’ll match the first half once we get to/surpass $125 and keep you all updated as we go <3
