TIL That The Reason Lead Levels In Childrens Blood Have Dropped 85% In The Past Thirty Years Is Because

TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

please donate to get e-sims to gazans

gazans don’t just need these e-sims to contact the world. they need them to contact other people during their worst and loneliest hours.

i can’t even imagine how it must feel, to be so afraid and alone. to just need someone to talk to.

we often call friends and family to talk to when just we’re having a bad day. and this… these people are living day by day, unsure about the next hour, surrounded by screams, bombs, artillery and rubble.

gazans need to connect now more than ever. not just to tell their stories, but to connect to other humans. to feel a semblance of normalcy in the devastation around them. to have some sort of comfort amidst all the destruction. to be able to contact their family members and make sure they’re okay. to hear their voices. to keep their hopes and spirit alive.

please please donate. please help connect gaza. please reach out and let them know you’re there.

please keep talking about them. keep posting. keep protesting. keep connecting with them, and connecting them with the rest of the world. don’t let anyone forget what’s been happening to them for even a second. the world has spent almost a century in ignorance and silence, but not anymore!

don’t let their oppressors isolate them. israel is trying their best to break their spirit. don’t let them. we must stand with the palestinians and let them know we’re with them until the very end.

the palestinian cause is our cause. their fight is our fight.

remind them that they’re not alone. don’t you dare give up. not when they’re still fighting. and even if they stop.

don’t stop until palestine is free.
