Here in Germany, we are appalled at the spate of racialized police violence, and the chilling restriction of discourse and political expression affecting many of our communities and cultural institutions.

This compilation - run entirely by volunteers, with submissions from all over the world - is an offer and rehearsal for a world we want to see free from violence and terror - an alchemy for the grief, suffering, and atrocity of war, which right now, is particularly acute in the bombardment of Palestine.

We stand firmly against racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, and the murder of innocent people.

We repeat our demand for a ceasefire and the release of hostages to make way for grief and peace.

Currently, 100% of proceeds (minus processing fees) will be diverted privately to a women’s centre in Gaza with funds being used to distribute dignity kits directly to displaced women and families there. We are monitoring the situation closely and will do our best to update donors if the situation changes due to the very, very tenuous situation in Gaza.

If you can’t or don’t feel comfortable donating, we encourage you to follow trusted humanitarian NGOs like Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, Medical Aid for Palestinians or the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

Locally, there may already be groups working to combat islamophobia and antisemitism. There may also be groups providing legal assistance for peaceful protestors depending on where you are in the world.

We realise our best power comes from working intersectionally across and between race, class, gender, and background when we think globally, but act locally, focusing our efforts on our most vulnerable.
