Lord, lord, lord. This country has drained me. After a few days spent staring at various walls in her apartment (better content than New New York, so there's that), Sarah takes a deep breath, thinks about Archie Beador, and, technically speaking, talks. She shares her feelings on post-election feelings (breaking news: people have some), and deep dives RHOC: Tamra's change in volume and tone but perhaps not intention, Shannon's clear eyes, full hearts can't lose mission statement to the world, a genuine shock about Katie's past (and what went too far), and Jen's continued lack of curiosity about events that should, ya know, inspire some thinking. Sarah's going one day at a time, so thank goodness for a day spent thinking about Shan - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 608! Everyone just try to hang in!

Highlighted Organizations Supporting Civilians in Israel and Gaza:
Women Wage Peace: Women Wage Peace is the largest grassroots peace movement in Israel whose purpose is to promote a political agreement, involving women in the process. Today the movement has more than 44,000 members. https://www.womenwagepeace.org.il/en/
NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation. The organization empowers Muslims, Jews and allies to bridge divisions and leverage shared values to strengthen our communities and our fragile democracy. https://mjnewground.org/
Standing Together: Standing Together is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible. To achieve this future, we must stand together as a united front: Jewish and Palestinian, secular and religious, Mizrahi and Ashkenazi, rural and urban, and people of all genders and sexual orientations. As the largest Jewish-Arab grassroots movement in Israel, we are committed to creating an alternative to our existing reality and building the political strength to make this transformation possible. https://www.standing-together.org/en
Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.https://solutionsnotsides.co.uk/
Israel Trauma Coalition: The Israel Trauma Coalition provides a holistic-collaborative approach that includes knowledge, tools and resources for optimal emergency preparedness, professional support, focused on the rapid recovery of the individual, community and strengthening national resilience. https://israeltraumacoalition.org/en/
Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/
