The authors of the Gaza Monologues and ASHTAR's staff based in Gaza are in urgent need of our support. Following successful evacuations and the most recent attack on Rafah, we must act without delay. Thousands of readers globally have engaged with the Gaza Monologues texts and the authors need us more than ever! ASHTAR Theatre is launching this campaign to center our staff in Gaza and support them in their next steps depending on what's needed, possible and safe.
Since October 8th 2023, 34,262+ Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel as well as 382 in the West Bank (OCHA). More than ~77,229 reported injured. Some of the Gaza Monologues' authors are lucky to have survived until now tirelessly working with children offering them psycho-social release through drama. They, however, at any point in time can be killed. ASHTAR Theatre is lauching this campaign to support them in their preferred next steps seeking safety.
It costs $5,000 and up to 4 weeks to evacuate an adult out of Gaza and $2,500 for a child below the age of 16. Our Gaza Monologues authors need funds to either evacuate to Egypt and sustain themselves there or remain in Gaza being supported by us.
This is possible only with your belief not only in the power of your individual contribution but also in the power of our global community! Consider making a singular or regular donation as well as spreading the word about this campaign. Only together can we save our humanity and keep our beloved colleagues supported.
