WHATS GOING ON IN SYRIA https://syria.carrd.co/
Syria is suffering a huge economic and political crisis due to the civil war happening there and now the sanctions imposed by the United States, that sends the Syrian economy into more turmoil than nearly a decade of war. also, the U.S. and its allies are deliberately seeking +
to plunge Syria into a state of blockade, food insecurity, and aggravated poverty. Infuriated by a failed military campaign to remove the Syrian leadership and government, the U.S. Coalition is now turning the economic screws on a nation that has endured a 10-year brutal war of +
attrition waged by extremist mercenaries power-multiplied by the U.S. supremacist alliance.
petitions don't work in the middle east so all we can do to help is spread awareness and donate if you can, i'll leave some links for you to donate but in the carrd there's more!!
THE PERSECUTION OF LGBTQ+ PEOPLE IN CHECHENYA, RUSSIA https://chechnyalgbt.carrd.co/

of Islam as an excuse to find and torture queer people there.
