If you have not spoken about Gaza yet and don't plan on doing so, history will remember you as a coward unwilling to stand for what is right even when it slaps you in the face every time you unlock your phone in the morning.
Palestinians are begging us to say something, because their livelihoods depend on how much pressure we can apply to our complicit governments to STOP THE GENOCIDE.
A month and three days ago, I launched my print shop on my website (isa-obradovich.com) for the purpose of donating 100% of proceeds from my prints of "From the River to the Sea" and "Hypocrisy" to Yazan & Mahmoud's families, who are trapped in Gaza, where a single bag of flour costs over $1000. Yazan & Mahmoud are two of innumerable Palestinians that have contacted myself and other creators online for help with spreading their donation links, because due to Israel's siege on Gaza, there has been minimal aid entering at all since September (source: @AlJazeeraEnglish). And now, 100,000 Palestinian babies under two years old are "on the brink of mass death within days due to the absence of infant formula and nutritional supplements" (source: @LandPalestine & Gaza Government Media Office). Since my print shop's launch last month, through my community's purchasing of prints of my artworks in support of Palestine, we have raised over $400 total (receipts in my PRINTS highlight) for Yazan's & Mahmoud's families.
But, even though $405 is a lot (to me, at least!) and I am so proud to have been able to engage my community like this, it is not even close to what is required to even survive. Every day, when I message Mahmoud & Yazan to "check in," they tell me it is difficult to find any food at all, and even more so to get the money to purchase it. Yazan lets me know that a bag of flour is $1000 and a carton of milk is $150. It is not possible to live like this!!!

I urge you to pressure your elected officials, to donate to Yazan's (chuffed.org/project/123740-majds-medical-treatment…) & Mahmoud's (chuffed.org/project/fundmahmoud) funds if you are in a position to do so, and, of course, get my prints for Palestine at isa-obradovich.com .
