The devastating loss, destruction and suffering in Gaza and Lebanon is hard to watch. Thousands of children are now injured, homeless, hungry and orphaned. And there is little hope of respite. But we must not look away – millions of people are in urgent need of our help. Our donations can help make an immediate difference to people’s lives – providing food, medicine, basic supplies, or a shelter for them and their families. @disastersemergencycommittee, their member charities including @britishredcross @islamicreliefuk @oxfamgb @plan_uk @savechildrenuk @worldvisionuk @rescue_uk and their local partners are responding right now. Please donate if you can #MiddleEastAppeal DEC fundraiser in bio.

“What if I’m the one who gets punished?” Academy Award-winning actor and producer @rizahmed joins Mehdi on ‘We’re Not Kidding’ for a candid conversation about collective action, speaking out, and growing up together in London. Watch the full episode at Zeteo.com or listen on Apple and Spotify.

We stand with international humanitarian and human rights organizations, unions, policymakers, grassroots movements, a majority of Americans, and citizens around the world calling on our leaders to uphold U.S. and international law.* It is illegal to supply or use weapons to commit “grave human rights violations,” including striking schools or hospitals, restricting humanitarian aid, and killing children. In partnership with @oxfamamerica, @actionaidusa, @warchilduk and @childreninconflict, Artists4Ceasefire stands for an immediate and permanent ceasefire now, the release of all hostages, delivery of humanitarian aid, and freedom, justice, dignity and peace for all people. The “Barb Wire Peace Dove,” by renowned artist Shepard Fairey, (@obeygiant) represents our common humanity, and the action needed to save precious lives. Approximately 1,200 Israelis were killed on October 7th, 2023 and over 200 were taken hostage by Hamas. In the last 11 months, Israel’s military operations in Gaza have killed at least 40,000 Palestinians, 16,500 of them children. Starvation, dehydration, and disease have reached devastating levels in Gaza, with nearly all 2.2 million people there displaced from their homes. Stop Weapons. Save Lives. Compassion Must Prevail. #Artists4Ceasefire #PermanentCeasefireNow #StopWeaponsSaveLives For more, visit artists4ceasefire.org *Foreign Assistance Act, Arms Export Control Act, Geneva Conventions of 1949

The Israeli military’s attack on Rafah puts 1.3 million Palestinians taking refuge — including 600,000 children— in catastrophic danger. We need a permanent ceasefire NOW— not a pause or temporary ceasefire. The killing must stop! There is nothing that justifies the killing of children — in Gaza, or anywhere. World leaders must act NOW to save lives and move us towards a future rooted in freedom, justice, dignity, and peace for all people. #AllEyesOnRafah #PermanentCeasefireNow #Artists4Ceasefire

Defiance: “Here to stay. Here to fight”. Proud to tell this story. Proud of our history. Our future depends on knowing it. We stand on the shoulders of these giants. 🙏🏽#brownhistory Co-Produced by Left Handed . . Watch a series of talks on Sat 6th April, 11:30am - 5:30pm. @whitechapelgallery in London.

For all the innocent children whose lives have been shattered in Gaza, we say with united hearts: NOT IN OUR NAME. All the killing must stop. At this moment, one out of every two children under six in Gaza is acutely malnourished and at risk of starvation. Join the world in demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire now in Palestine. Our humanity depends on it. #CeasefireNow #artists4ceasefire #notinourname #FreePalestine Directed by @JonathanOlinger Creative direction by @mayasavage.earth Music by @maxllmusic Poem written and delivered by @SaulWilliams during the invasion of Iraq Shared by @thehumanstory as an offering for all to use

Nimona got an Oscar Nom! Thank you to everyone who supported this film about outsiders, loving yourself, and finding real ones in unexpected places. This one was from the heart. Shout out the amazing @chloegmoretz and @troyquane @itsnickbruno.

13 years in the making…that’s a wrap. 🤲🏽
