South Dakota Natives Fast In Solidarity With Gaza Families

(Undated) — South Dakotans are forming unlikely bonds with families in Gaza, using social media to connect across continents during war. Native American women like Maggie Ross and Chas Jewitt say their own histories of displacement help them relate to Palestinians. And now they’re fasting to raise awareness of hunger in Gaza, especially among children. They’ve built daily friendships online, even celebrating when families return safely from food distributions. Others from across the country are joining in, as the group also sends money to help where they can despite high costs and limited reach.
