Save Congo - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive
You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away
You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood
Hello 👋 This is Amal and his family from Gaza. Please help us provide basic life requirements for our children, complete education for our children, and find a source of income after the destruction of what we own. We live in difficult circumstances and a difficult life 🙏🏼 ❤️ Please share and spread the campaign because I urgently need help and the matter is urgent. There is no water and little food. It is very difficult for us to get even a little food. Please donate and please share.

help others not because they are your family or from your community but because they are people.
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.
nobody is more tired of war than those living through it. shut the fuck up and hear them
How you can help Congo
Donating to Congo
Not buying new phones: Trust me, your current phone works really well. If the screen is cracked, get it fixed.
Not buying new electronic devices in general. You can buy them from your neighbours if they're selling.
Not buying new cars: Your current one works well. You can carpool or use bicycles. You can also use public transport.
Boycott American, British, French, Canadian and basically western products.
I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.
