We Are Libya

I saw this on Tumblr while I was going through posts on Libya:

This is an wonderful idea that aimbrosephstalin just had!

On Wednesday, Feb.23, everyone who supports Libya should show it by wearing the pre-Gadaffi Libyan flag somewhere on their person! You can wrap the flag around your hand or paint it somewhere on your body, o...r draw it on a shirt, it doesn’t matter, just have it on you! You can even carry around a pamphlet giving information about this as well so people become more aware of the situation in Libya! The whole point of this, is that when people ask…”What’s that?” You start to explain how it’s the Libyan flag and the reason you have it on is because of the genocide that is occurring in Libya right now! This results in more people knowing and more people supporting the cause until the government finally falls under the pressure of its people’s words and takes a step of action!
Stop the violence. Stop the blood from spilling. Support the Libyan People!

Thank you so much iambrosephstalin, this is an amazing idea! You’re amazing!

Also, the lovely woman made a facebook group about this day:
JOIN IT AND SPREAD IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. We need everyone to know about these massacres! I’m joining right now!

And...well I cried a lot when I read the things that are happening there. I feel a lot useless now for I can only offer prayers and spread awareness.

And about spreading awareness:

Spreading Awareness | What does it mean? Why do we do it?

Spreading awareness throughout each country in the world — throughout every city, every household — can help save lives. I know there are some people out there who don’t believe that one can help make a change. That’s a bunch of bullshit. One reblog, one text post, one tweet, or one status or whatever else — they can, indeed, make a difference. One can lead to tens, which can then lead hundreds, which can then lead to thousands, to hundreds of thousands, and so on. Awareness can potentially save endangered life, whether it leads to donations or whatever else.

However, that gives you no reason whatsoever to call people “disgusting” or “inhumane” for not reblogging a post that helps spread awareness. I have seen countless posts saying “if you don’t reblog this, you’re disgusting.” Just because they don’t reblog a post, that does not make them any less of a good person. How do you know that the people who aren’t reblogging the post are trying to spread awareness in their personal lives, instead of online? You don’t. You’re trying to force people to reblog things, because they think that people will possibly hate them for not reblogging that certain post. Though that may sound okay because they do end up reblogging that post, it’s not. If someone didn’t want to reblog that post, because they’ve probably reblogged another post much like it before, so what? That doesn’t make them awful. Yes, the more awareness the better, but still. That’s no excuse to call people names. It’s fine to encourage people to reblog the post, but it’s not fine to say “if you don’t reblog this, you’re a jerk” or anything along those terms.

Spreading awareness also doesn’t mean that every single person on tumblr has to reblog every single post about every single current event happening somewhere out there in the world. If you do so, good for you. If you don’t, good for you, too. By just coming to terms with it yourself, you are spreading awareness. You’re spreading awareness by becoming aware of the things happening out there in the world. People who are saying “stop” or “shut up” to people who are reblogging posts about Libya or New Zealand or any other location or country, are actually spreading awareness because they have knowledge of everything themselves, so really, they can just shut up, because they’re telling people who are spreading awareness to shut up, which would include them.

I took this from tumblr. They have a 'reblog' option quite like blogger's 'share' and twitter's 'retweet'
