I want to spread awareness, but I find that quite difficult when half the world is under Dead Cat Theory with an entire city of smaller problems and those who do even know of these efforts care more about stuffing their face and claim we have no right to patrol what they eat(which we sadly don't, but like seriously?? Your chocolate milk doesn't need to be from Nestle???)
Help pleaseee
Hi everyone. I am pursuing a future in humanitarian efforts, and looking through this subreddit (and others) (this is one of the only ones where I believe posting this is somewhat relevant, though), I have seen so many deeply emotional works. Recently, I came across a work called "Evoking Genocide," which recounts the experiences of activists and what inspired them. Truly a worthwhile read. It inspired me to try to do something similar and make a change for the world.
So far, this project has gathered quite a few entries from people I know.
I have a bit of a big request.
If any of you all are willing to share stories that impacted you, your experiences, or that of people you know, it would mean the world to me. I specifically do want experiences on war and regimes, as this is best suited for what humanitarian efforts need right now. All profits from the publishing(which is currently planned to be on Amazon or Draft2Digital), will go to charities such as The Reckoning Project and War Child International. If you have any questions, please ask.
This means so much to me. Sometimes making change is the hardest part of wanting to help, and I want your voices to be heard. My only edits will be for grammar and the like, but please don't generalize any group with your response and no personal attacks unless its about a past regime and the like. They can be anywhere between a few sentences to about 800 words.
So, to be an icebreaker, I'd like to share my own story. I'll leave it as a comment, provided this is somewhat sucessful, to keep this entry from getting too long, but I truly appreciate any contributions. If you'd like your comment in the collection though, please fill out this form first(just for copyright issues, it won't collect your emails) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSclFAwUnlqjj2Fcob4V9Zp7C-tmjtcdVsFmHu3-LHVe-6dx-g/viewform?usp=publish-editor
*oh yeah also can anyone come up with a good title for the collection? I cant think of anything rn and my best guess was all is unfair in love and war
PS: if this is violating any rules, please tell me and I will immediately take it down. I'm pretty new to this sub and I want to make sure this is okay to do.
I'm trying to learn how to use polar functions better. Any advice? I was trying to make a chrysanthemum, but lets just say that doesn't exactly look like one.
