Are you a DCU fan upset about the events happening in Gaza? Want to help raise money for Palestinians and contribute to the creation of more DCU fanworks? Then this is the event for you!

DCU Commissions for Palestine is a fan-led event inspired by many other successful fandom events that have raised money for Palestinians causes. This event will bring together fan artists and writers who will offer fanworks in exchange for donations.

Creator signups: July 1-15

Commissions open: July 20-August 10

Posting begins: August 17

We will be looking for DCU fan artists and writers. Any part of the DCU fandom is welcome- even crossovers!

Rules will be explained when we post the creator signup forms. Want to help in the meantime? Follow this account, reblog this post, and spread the word to all the DCU fans in your life! We are also currently accepting volunteers who want to help run/promote the event, and any physical item donations (DCU physical fanart, merch, comics, etc.). If you want to help run or promote the event or donate a physical item, just shoot us a message and we will be happy to provide you with more information! And of course, you do not need to wait for the event to support Palestine. The situation in Gaza grows more dire every day, and we encourage you to donate to any vetted fundraisers and charities if you have the means. Here is a list with some options.

Stay tuned for more information in the following days!

please donate to help a Palestinian family and their newborn facing a home demolition in Jerusalem

These are friends of friends, and they are in desperate need of funds to relocate to a new home in Jerusalem and try to start rebuilding their lives.

The Jerusalem Municipality is demolishing the home of Hisham’s family + 119 others in the Bustan area of Silwan to build a park. Here is recent reporting from last week, and here’s an older article by NPR about this specific situation

Please donate if you are able, or reblog to help spread the word. The family needs to raise $30,000 by March 15.

[Text ID: My name is Hisham (I am choosing not to publicize my full name out of fear of retaliation from Israel), and along with my wife and our beautiful newborn daughter, I live in a neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem called Silwan. I started this fundraiser as an urgent plea for help, as my family is currently preparing for the worst: the demolition of our home by Israel.

Last year, my family received a home demolition order from the Israeli authorities which dictates the following: if we do not demolish our home by March 15, 2024, the Jerusalem Municipality will demolish it for us, in which case we will have to pay a fine of 82,000 shekels (roughly $22,000). If we fail to pay the fine, I will be jailed.

My elderly parents and all of my siblings also received home demolition orders, as did more than 120 other families in Silwan, some of whom have already had their homes demolished. Unfortunately, forced displacement has been a constant, decades-long battle for us here in Silwan, and this latest wave of demolitions is just one part of the broader Israeli policy to dispossess Palestinians of our homes and land.

My wife and I have poured everything we have into the legal battle over the demolition order, which to our despair, has lead nowhere. I have had to pick up a second job to support us through this prolonged nightmare, and even still, we find ourselves in a position where we will not be able to pay the fine, let alone have anything left to help us move. At this point, we have exhausted all of our options, and we are appealing to you as a last resort.

We ask that you help us reach our fundraising goal of $30,000, which will go directly towards the demolition fine and our search for a new living arrangement.

The imminent destruction of our home and the uncertainty that comes with it has devastated us, especially as this is happening at a time when we are witnessing an extreme escalation of Israel’s violence and aggression throughout all of Palestine. We are terrified for our safety and our future, and we pray that you can help us.

God bless you all, be safe everywhere. Thank you very much, Hisham. /End ID]

If you get it to 50/50 they are a canon couple

If one of them wins, they get shipped with a writer's random OC and that ship is FOREVER

HAVE FUN!!!
