muslim women, i need your help
for all of you who haven’t heard already, attacks on veiled Muslim women are happening in France right now. Actually, one woman miscarried her baby because of the attacks she faced.
for all of you who can, I am hoping that you can show your support by taking photos of yourself holding a sign or a banner that supports the muslim women facing these hate crimes and condemning the oppressors that continually justify their hatred.
- how? you can take a picture with a group of friends, by yourself, or whomsoever you’d like.
- what should the sign say? It can say something like, “we support our sisters in France from [insert where you’re from here]” or also like, “stop islamophobia in france!” be creative. be smart. be assertive.
- where will these pictures be posted? for now, on my personal blog (this one, and count on people reblogging them). they may also appear on facebook, instagram, and twitter. if you are uncomfortable with that, please do not participate in this.
- how can we send you the pictures? TAG ME on tumblr (#thalamtnafsee).
- how can i help if i dont want to submit a photo? reblog this (signalboosting) so that your friend who may want to help can.
i am hoping to get public media attention from this. I actually know a few journalists from NBC and my journalism professor from school. I will try to get in contact with them now. we need more media on these hate crimes!
