Whether or not you are joining the fast, you are invited to consider these additional actions.
1.
- Prayer, meditation, or other spiritual practices
- Continued learning
- Calling1 and writing elected officials and/or institutional decision-makers
- Participating in demonstrations, reflection alone or with others, primal screams . . . .
2. Donating to organizations providing support within Gaza, including:
Middle East Children's Alliance
UNRWA United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees
You might estimate the amount of money not spent on food for the days you are fasting, and donate that amount to feed Palestinians in Gaza.
3. Donating to local food pantries to recognize the food insecurity of many within our own community--and the relationship between spending massive amounts of public dollars to enable the devastation in Gaza and the diminished resources available to address the needs at home.
Thanks for all you do!
