This week marks Refaat Alareer’s birthday, who would have been 46 years old.

In this remembrance, Yousef Aljamal represents Refaat as a symbol of steadfastness, who shared the Palestinian narrative with the world and inspired many to do the same, until his last breath. Refaat always spoke of the importance of Palestinians telling their stories in order to keep their collective memory and resistance alive.

"Online Poetry Reading: A fundraiser for Gheed & other Palestinian translators"
https://givebutter.com/XUQBSA

August 24, 2025 at 2pm Pacific

Translators at Respond Crisis Translation (https://respondcrisistranslation.org) are among the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians facing starvation and genocide in Gaza.

Gheed, based in Northern Gaza, is the Co-Director of RCT’s Arabic Team (https://respondcrisistranslation.org/en/blog/2025-0725-support-rct-work). In this role she leads and supports RCT’s Arabic translators, including many also based in Gaza, who work tirelessly translating and interpreting for thousands of Arabic-speaking asylum seekers around the world even while themselves surviving genocide, displacement, famine.

To launch this fundraiser, RCT organizers will share poems online on August 24, poems written by Gheed herself (https://respondcrisistranslation.org/en/blog/2025-0804-when-the-war-broke-out-everything-changed) — and poems written and read for Gheed by Naomi Shihab Nye of Texas, and Kim Stafford of Oregon.

There is much we can’t do in the face of chaos and terror.
But helping Gheed and other Palestinian translators is one thing we can do. Donate and spread the word so RCT can reach $30,000+ and keep hope alive. Donate here: https://givebutter.com/XUQBSA
