"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

“Socrates said, ‘The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.’ He wasn't talking about grammar. To misuse language is to use it the way politicians and advertisers do, for profit, without taking responsibility for what the words mean. Language used as a means to get power or make money goes wrong: it lies. Language used as an end in itself, to sing a poem or tell a story, goes right, goes towards the truth.
A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.”
–Ursula K. Le Guin
