FREE PALESTINE.
There is a genocide happening before our eyes.
The senseless killing in Gaza must stop.
The children and families in Palestine have suffered for far too long,
and they need our help.
I’ve been working on educating myself and learning as much
as I can to understand where and how I can make a difference,
and I am asking you to do the same. I’ve shared a few of the
organizations that I’ve made donations to below.
My friends and fellow artists, I know it can feel scary to speak up;
I feel it now as I type this … I also feel the need to do something to help.
The more of us that use our voice, the closer we are to change. If you agree
please search your heart, find your courage and do what you can to help.
These children in Palestine have had to be brave for too long.
It’s our turn to do the same now.
Lets normalize speaking up and standing up for those suffering from oppression.
