Episode 50 - Be a Helper: 50 Actions for Gaza

We can be helpers, we can be witnesses, we can refuse to give up.  While the fragile ceasefire is cause for some timid relief, we can’t look away. Action needs to be sustained.

To mark the 50th episode of Reseed, this episode will be a bit different: here are 50 actions for Gaza. 

Here are 50 actions to take—but the intent is to start with one action. This is meant to be helpful, after all, not overwhelming. This episode is is also not meant to be perfect or prescriptive, but rather a map to help guide us as helpers when we get overwhelmed by grief and despair. 

Actions are organized by learning, reflecting and discussing, in-person actions, donating, creating, advocating, caring, and praying or meditating.

Listeners can pause anytime and take the action, and come back to it when you need more ideas. Some actions might be right for you, while some might not. Fortunately, effective movements are made up of people each finding their own unique role. 

Whether you are an outspoken leader in this movement, or somewhat involved, or completely new and feeling out of place and uncomfortable: be a helper.
