my friend is a brown muslim bisexual woman who’s family has hit hard economic times. Fleeing the Netherlands at one point due to extreme islamophobia, they decided to return for better access to medical mental health care. moving is expensive, being pressured to move is even more expensive. all of this compounds with the current COVID-19 pandemic, due to strict border requirements my friends cat Skitty is currently stranded in Istanbul. they are currently in need of money to both bring Skitty home AND contribute to their family’s rent and grocery expenses while they resettle. If she cannot gather the funding Skitty will have to be humanly euthanized.
We can all empathize with the lonely feelings of the pandemic. i personally can say i wouldn’t have made it through this all this far without my pets, and i’m sure some of you feel the same. Emotional Support Animal doesn’t come close to explaining how important this little cat is to her. They have spent agonizing months apart (for the both of them!) and it would mean so much to have them reunited.
THE MOST DISRESPECTED PERSON IN AMERICA IS THE BLACK WOMAN. THE MOST UNPROTECTED PERSON IN AMERICA IS THE BLACK WOMAN. THE MOST NEGLECTED PERSON IN AMERICA IS THE BLACK WOMAN.
YOU BLED AND FOUGHT AND SCREAMED AND RIOTED FOR THE MEN WE SO WRONGFULLY LOST, DO THE SAME FOR THE WOMEN WE HAVE LOST DUE TO INJUSTICES JUST AS WRONG!! STOP WITH THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS SHIT!! BREONNA TAYLOR STILL HASN’T SEEN JUSTICE BECAUSE YOU TREAT THE WOMEN SO DIFFERENTLY, SAME WITH OUR BLACK TRANSGENDER BROTHERS AND SISTERS, AND OTHER CIS BLACK WOMEN.
KEEP THE ENERGY WITH EVERYONE.
TOYIN DESERVES JUSTICE JUST AS MUCH AS EVERYONE ELSE. SHE WAS WRONGFULLY TAKEN AWAY. SHE WAS ONLY 19.
FIGHT FOR JUSTICE FOR BLACK WOMAN JUST AS MUCH AS YOU FIGHT FOR BLACK MEN.
EVERYONE FAILED HER. SHE FOUGHT FOR JUSTICE AND EVERYONE FAILED HER. SHE SPENT HER LAST DAYS FIGHTING FOR BLACK LIVES. DO. NOT. FAIL. HER. ANYMORE. BY FIGHT FOR OUR BLACK WOMAN AND OUR TRANS WOMAN JUST AS HARD AS YOU FIGHT FOR OUR BLACK MEN.
Note:
It’s come to my attention too that her family was abusive, so far the advice given was to NOT donate to her families donations, they’re trying to profit off her death. If anyone else sees any good a trusted donations, drop them here. Drop the donations for others we lost too that don’t get as much media coverage rn since they’re trying to cover it up.
“I’m speaking to you from my heart. Look, I don’t know if I’m going to have a career after this, but fuck that. Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones. Every black person in here remembered when another person reminded you that you were black. So none of you out there, all those protesters on the other side, protesting against what we want to do, protesting against what we want to try and achieve, burn you, this is so vital. I need you to understand how painful this shit is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isn’t the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.” John Boyega at The Black Lives Matter protest in Hyde Park June 3rd 2020
