This is a short update to highlight a couple organizations i’ve connected to, as more is to come in the next few weeks. I am now in Subotica, in Northern Serbia, working as the advocacy officer for Collective Aid — an organization that does distribution and support work for People on the Move as well as monitoring border violence and pushbacks. I am still settling into the role, so will update materials as I get into the flow more. If you want to check out Collective Aid you can do so here 

Before I left Istanbul, I began volunteering with an organization called the Aman Project, which works with LGBTQ refugees from the Middle East and North Africa. They provide shelter space, legal and resettlement support, mental health support, as well as working to get at risk LGBTQ folks out of Afghanistan. I work with them doing writing and media advocacy work. If you would like to check out the Aman Project or support their work, you can do so here
