(Please note that, although I did link organizations that I could find further information and verification on, this doesn't mean you shouldn't at least look at the other fundraisers here.
Everyone deserves your concideration.)
Reminder by the way! One of the best ways you can help the Congo even if you can't donate is boycotting!
Only buy secondhand electronics! Do not support any of the companies contributing to the horrible cobalt mining practicing in DR Congo! More information here!

Genocide is destroying millions of lives. Help the victims, be on the right side of history.
A three-decade-long war on Congolese civilians summarized in this infographic illustration by Lizar_tistry on Instagram.
About 48% of the world's cobalt reserves are in Congo, but 70% of the world's mined cobalt comes from there.
Cobalt is toxic to touch and breathe - and there are hundreds of thousands of poor Congolese people touching and breathing it day in and day out.
Hello my dears! I, Asmaa, ask you to support my campaign to help me reach my goal. 🙏 I am now in desperate need of your support to help me stay alive and safe. Gaza is a very dangerous place, both in terms of living standards and souls. I need your financial support so that I can get the basic needs of my family. Please help a family survive through your small donations or through your shares to others. And reblog. The campaign is going very slowly. 🙏🍉💔

[Image ID: Screenshot from GoFundMe with a title that reads "Help My Congolese Family Flee genocide". Attached to it is a picture of a black woman with long hair, with a tree and a building behind her. Enya-Zura Citeya-Kanjinga is organizing this campaign and it has gathered $9,305 CAD from its $20,000 goal as of the making of this post, June 20th, 2024. /End ID]
This GFM was shared by youtubers Tirrrb and Elliot Sang and I would like to bring more attention to it. Please help escape a congolese family from genocide and reunite them with their family members. Donate if possible and share ❤️🇨🇩

The situation of the Congo Genocide is complicated because we are all implicated in it. We can’t ascribe it to a foreign policy state interest as we can regarding Palestine. It is something we, as consumers, all have a hand in and given the ubiquity of the resources involved, a lot of us are caught off of guard by this premonition of the type of wars to come. This is that nasty intersection of neo-colonialism and hyper capitalism that pits the Global South against the Global North. It’s a war of sustaining a way of life means imposing slavery and genocide on others. This is an instance of global capitalism and hyper consumption as a lifestyle and convenience is being pitted against the humanity of those we deem expendable.

This campaign was started by @/atute_insp on tiktok and her team Mutual Aim to collect money for the DRC, Sudan, and Tigray. The donations will be divided between the three causes. If you would like do donate but don't have the funds to donate to multiple campaigns, this is a great way to help both the Congo, Sudan, and Tigray.
