Our giving circle transfers funds directly to 6 families + a mutual aid team and isn’t involved in how that money is used, because Palestinians know best what they need & how to get it. But here’s a glance at SOME of the ways the funds are used. Give 👉🏾 tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...
• buying drinking/non-drinking water from trucks that deliver from the last functioning desalination plants
• firewood to cook with in the absence of fuel since March 2
• charging phones, laptops, assistive devices at charging points
• tents - a tent gets worn out in about 3 months
• whatever medicine, sanitary items, hygiene products people can find
• disability needs (eg, adult diapers)
• rent (people still have to pay it)
• small furnishings for tents/apartments
• clothes, shoes
• school supplies like notebooks and pens
• solar panels for electricity
• fees to use internet cafes to connect to remote jobs, university studies; get the news; relax a bit
• dignity items (gifts for children; curtains for tents or shelter which are usually bombed-out and therefore lack privacy, etc)
• healthcare (seeing specialists can incur fees)
• for one project, we fuelled a garbage truck to clear waste from a displacement camp for local public health & dignity

Tomorrow Cambridge University will go to the High Court seeking to impose an unprecedented ban on protests in solidarity with Palestine from key sites of the university. This is a major assault on longstanding principles of freedom of expression and assembly on campus. (1/8)

SEED DONATION DRIVE
Donation Requests:
Native to Southern California plant seeds
Drop off details:
Please drop off at the registers in either 1818 Main store or

can't believe an institution that billed part of its restructuring as centering Indigenous knowledge has the audacity to be so hostile and call the same cops that contribute to violence in humboldt (i can believe this but pissed this isn't part of the conversation around cal poly humboldt)

It is my pleasure to announce "Res Difficiles, The Journal," an imprint of Ancient History Bulletin, a Green Open Access Journal, co-founded and co-edited by myself and Joseph Romero. resdifficiles.com
Res Difficiles, The Journal 

Since 2020, the Res Difficiles conference series has been a venue for addressing inequities within the field of Classics, examining issues arising out of intersectional vectors of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, class, socio-economic status and beyond. An outgrowth of this conference series, Res Difficiles, The Journal—an imprint of Ancient History Bulletin, a Green Open Access Journal—invites submissions from individuals, pairs, or groups, addressing “difficult things” within the discipline of Classics and related fields. Res Difficiles, The Journal seeks to publish the “traditional” argumentative forms of inquiry standard to the discipline, but also reflections upon pedagogical concerns as well as contributions of a creative, personal, or experimental nature, including interviews. In addition to individual submissions, we welcome pitches for guest-edited special issues.
