Rabbi David Mivasair has a GoFundMe to help provide basis necessities for the Palestinians of Gaza. If it is within your means, this is the link:

Rabbi Mivasair writes:

I want to add that the need is not only for money. There is a huge need for people there to simply have someone NOT there who expresses care toward them, who listens to them, who witnesses with compassion and empathy. I think of the people who scrawled on the walls of barracks in Nazi concentration camps "if only someone on the outside knew what they are doing to us here". I want to be the people who let them know that we do care, we are listening, we are trying to help, and they can tell us what is going on in their lives.

Please consider signing this petition which calls for a ceasefire and arms embargo, started by Rabbi Brant Rosen of Tzedek Chicago.

Excerpt:

We know that in order to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the U.S. must stop arming Israel’s war and occupation against Palestinians. That’s why we are calling for an immediate embargo on US arms to Israel. Join us in calling on presidential candidate Kamala Harris to distance herself from Biden’s disastrous policy of arming Israel’s ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine.

Not another bomb!

How soon can you occupy more of AIPAC?

u/oncothrow Hasidim Sep 27 '24

How soon before they're called self-hating / traitors / hamas supporters?

How do you find out about this sort of thing? What organization is it?

u/Penelope742 Sep 28 '24

Not sure who this is. CodePink is online

This one looks like a collaboration between IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace. I'd recommend reading their websites to understand their organizational positions so you can pick which better aligns with your own views, then checking if there is a chapter in your city.
