If you can, please donate to @thesameerproject they are doing amazing work distributing food and water in Gaza right now.

It may feel like we are powerless. Activism may look ‘performative’. But collective action and protest is very deliberately a performance. It is designed to make people feel something and learn something. And it has a selfish benefit of making you feel better as an individual. But when people come together to act and feel better as individuals and as a group, we improve each other, and resist the systematic silencing of oppressive power structures. Or in this case, murder and eradication of Palestinians.

Big thanks to @esgoldstone and @davidfyoung for their organising and inspiration to take part in this #hungerstrikeforgaza. I am also doing this as part of @christianaiduk and their #fastforgaza (even if I am tragically not a Christian).

In solidarity with current fellow fasters:
