Communication can be a lifeline in the chaos of war. The Markup reports on how thousands of donated eSIM cards are providing that vital link for families in Gaza, thanks to the efforts of Mirna El Helbawi: themarkup.org/news/2023/11/0…

A panel, with Shauna Siggelkow, Mario Scharfbillig, and Heather Thompson, explored how public discourse around divisive topics can lead to “othering” in the name of “belonging” to the “correct” side of an issue. But this can be counteracted by efforts to find points of unity in discussions!

Great initiative!
More than once I've asked if I'm able to apply to certain grants and more than once I've gotten the 'this is for US citizens or green card holders only' response and, I have to admit, it's so discouraging.
