TY for posting this, @endali 💔

Born OTD in 1964 (June 8th)... James "Jamie" Navarro -- a gay rights activist and co-founder of #BAGLY -- The Boston Alliance of #LGBTQ+ Youth. Unfortunately, he passed away at age 50 in 2014 (from complications caused by being at 9/11 and exposed to whatever was in the air). He was one of my dearest friends, and one of the bravest human beings I've known (he was openly gay in the 1980s). I fiercely defended him and still think of him often.

"While the freezing wind touched our faces, the hope in the eyes of people who had been waiting for a warm plate for hours warmed our hearts. In moments like this, we remember: a meal is never just food… it is compassion, it is being remembered, it is a way of saying you are not alone."

In moments like this, we remember: a meal is never just food… it is compassion, it is being remembered, it is a way of saying you are not alone. To arrive right when help is needed, to be part of someone’s prayer, to warm trembling hands even a little — this is what it means to be Hızır. May Hızır be the helper of the desperate, the stranded, and those in need of even a single bite. May no one be left hungry, thirsty, or without care in this cold. The greatest reward tonight was not the thanks we received, but the prayers we witnessed. 🤲 Grateful for the blessing of being able to share. #Hızır #alirizadogan #alibabanyc #Community #homeless @standtogether @nycgov @givingbacknyc AlirizaDogan turkishfood. @alibabaturkiscuisine @zohranmandani @burakakburak @homeless_in_nyc @mayornyc @turkiye @goturkiye HızırLokması İyilikKazandırır PaylaşmakBereket Dayanışma Merhamet Umut BirlikteGüçlüyüz"

In 2017, the Rohingya faced one of the darkest chapters of history.
🚨 400 villages were burned
💔 10,000 lives were brutally taken
🌍 750,000 people fled their homeland

The world witnessed yet another genocide against our people — yet justice is still denied, and accountability is still absent.

Today it’s 8 years, yet nothing has changed. Rohingya still live with the pain, without justice, without a home.
