WAYS TO TAKE ACTION FOR PALESTINE:

Help me raise money for the Middle East Children's Alliance

​I am absolutely heartbroken and horrified to be witnessing via social media the non-stop abject cruelty children and families are experiencing in Palestine. Every day, the war crimes are more extreme than the next. I am raising funds for the Middle East Children's Alliance to provide urgent aid to children & families in Gaza. MECA's staff and local partners are on the ground responding to the most urgent needs of children and families. Your donation will help provide medical aid, clean water, food, tents, psychological support, and more. Any donation amount is welcome $5, $50, $500, $5000. MECA is a reputable and worthy non-profit organization (based in the SF Bay Area) doing incredibly brave work in the Middle East since 1988 well before this war began. Please donate with your conscience and ability. Mil gracias y en solidaridad, Aida Salazar
