Authors for Palestine: Event Live 10-20 June

What is the AFP Event?

You can find this information on the AFP website, reproduced here. Credit to L. B. Shimaira for the website creation, and to Shariva Khan for the idea and hosting and putting everyone together! Other organsiers include myself (C. M. Rosens), Micah J. Anthony and Katy Haye.

Over 50 authors have come together to pool their various works (poetry, novels, short stories, and more) to help increase the amount of donations going to Palestinians in need.

We’ve selected 3 families from the OOB spreadsheet to help boost their fundraisers during the AfP event. Please help support: Mohammed, Ibrahim, and Rula. These fundraisers are featured on Operation Olive Branch. You can read all about Operation Olive Branch here and check out their entire spreadsheet of people who could use your help. Even if you’ve run out of funds to donate, please consider sharing OOB or individual fundraisers.

More information on the families, whose GFMs were getting the least traction of the OOB featured fundraisers at the time of the Authors For Palestine campaign, can be found here on the afp.ju.mp website.
