More footage from Gaza + your help is still needed
in...@rachelswords.org
our site went down moments after our email was sent! So we're asking
again for help. Your generosity so far has put us well on the way to
being able to buy the equipment Fida Qishta will need to continue and
improve her work.
The Guardian posted two more of Fida's videos documenting the use of
white phosphorous on civilians in Gaza
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/20/gaza-white-phosphorus).
Fida has been interviewed on CNN, NBC, Democracy Now!, and her videos
used in mainstream and alternative news media.
There are so many urgent calls for aid to Gaza - we'll list more
below. Our mission is simply to help Fida continue documenting the
stories that she has access to, and getting them out. We're asking for
small donations. We hope they'll add up to what we need to purchase
more tapes for Fida, video equipment and a new computer. The
electrical outages destroyed her hard drive.
Please consider making a small donation of $5 through Paypal here
(http://www.rachelswords.org/donate/). For tax deductible donations of
any amount, send checks made out to our fiscal sponsor "The Brecht
Forum," and mail to: Rachel's Words, PO Box 1125, New York, NY 10276.
We will send you confirmation of receipt.
Thanks again for your support.
