So over the last couple of days, the situation in Palestine has reached an unimaginable level of urgency. People are starving. Entire communities are being cut off from food, aid, and basic resources— and it's happening while the world watches. We could no longer sit and watch as nothing was helping, and we hope you feel the same way.

This is the moment for us to come together.

We’ve launched r/redditforhumanity as a space where leftist, pro-Palestine, and humanitarian-minded subreddits can coordinate their efforts. Right now, we’re asking mod teams to pin a comment on every post so that every visitor, reader, and contributor sees a unified message about how right now is the time to act for Palestine. About how it’s time to act, petition governments, demand that aid be delivered to Palestinians—whether through air drops, diplomatic pressure, or any available means. Push for sanctions against Israel in response to the blockade and policies fueling this humanitarian disaster.

Here’s what the subreddit will offer:

  • The comment/message that we are going to want you to pin on every post (or post to pin on your subreddit, or both) for whatever amount of time we agree on or you feel comfortable with (I have reached out to someone who is a better writer than I am and they are working on it.) (Edit: I am hearing from mods with subs that are not really political that they would like options- such as a message that is humanitarian and not political, and also if a sub is not wanting to do a pinned comment on every post, what about a pinned post? So I am going to offer multiple suggestions about what people can do in support of this message.)
  • Coordination with other moderators who are going to be on board with a pro-humanity message.
  • Help setting up your automod if you choose to do a pinned comment on every thread, and you do not know how to do that on your own.

Reddit may be messy, but it’s powerful when coordinated. Together, we can try and make sure this crisis isn’t ignored.

And this won’t be the only thing that the subreddit is used for. We hope r/redditforhumanity grows into a long-term platform for collective action- when we need to coordinate for a widespread call to action, this can be a place to gain support for that.

Let’s make noise that can’t be silenced.

Edit: If you are willing to be on board, please reply with your subreddit name. I am going to make another post where we can talk about ideas on how to tackle this, so I would prefer those suggestions, or any questions, be done in that post. Thank you.

Edit 2: Sat July 26, I am thinking of launching on Monday, so right now a post and a comment are being written that you will be able to pick from (we are hoping you will pick the pinned comment or both the post AND comment, but we will be happy with whatever.)

Edit 3: Since Israel is letting in aid, we are adjusting the comment/post that was written already to focus more on donating to aid organizations because there is so much aid needed, that they are going to run out fast now that they are allowed to bring it in. Because of this, things are slightly delayed but will be written up for tonight (Sunday night), and we can hopefully coordinate to still put out the message tomorrow, Monday. It just may be a bit later on Monday than the first thing like we were wanting.
