How To Help - The Humanitarian Crises Around The World

Humanitarian effort is also something that I’m passionate toward. Below, you’ll find information on critical issues around the world. While I’m not an expert and there are many more beyond my reach, I hope these resources provide insight for those seeking to learn more and make a difference. At the bottom, you will also find a growing list of organizations to join, for those who want to take action toward these causes.

For those who feel compelled by all of this also but don’t know how to act, remember things like attending protests, sharing posts, and calling your representatives are a great start. Be sure to share posts that are not opinion based, rather informative with reliable sources in order to spread more correct information instead of false. Another very effective way to be heard is to boycott brands or companies that knowingly support oppression, displacement, and genocide. Here are some known brands to boycott that have made an impact in the last few weeks -

Starbucks, Mcdonalds, Burger King, Pepsi, Mars, Nestle, Coca Cola, KFC, TGI Fidays, Krispy Kreme, Pizza Hut, L’Oreal, Estee Lauder, Chanel, American Eagle, Victoria’s Secret, Kylie Jenner cosmetics, Johnson and Johnson, Disney Plus, Puma, and many more. These companies either openly stated they support Israel or aid Israel in funds, jobs, and other resources.

Help the exploitation of young girls and women in Congo

After reading about the D.R. of Congo’s abundance in cobalt, it’s important for us to know that we can help by refusing to buy new electronics. When it’s time to get a new phone, buy a used phone. Although electric cars are green, it comes at the cost of innocent people and their livelihood.
