Hey all, friends of ours are co-organizing a big Palestine fundraiser taking place at Bum (Paul-Linke-Ufer 21) to raise money for two grassroots mutual aid funds in Gaza operated by their Palestinian & Egyptian friends. One is for critical emergency essentials (https://t.me/+gvm8F6tmpyNkMDU0), and another a mobile school that offers psychosomatic education to children who can one day help to rebuild their society (https://www.gofundme.com/f/fpd9k-schools-without-borders)

They've got a full program led by majority Palestinian & Arab artists, researchers and activists - live musicians, DJs, talks on AI & tech’s impact on Palestine, poetry, a Dabke dance workshop, Tatreez making, food and more.

They really need a lot of people to come support to help the funds reach their targets! Hope to see you there✊
