She welcomes anyone who wishes to get in touch via social media.We encourage you to spend time listening to Mariam and a few minutes after this episode taking a small action in the fight for a complete and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. One such action can be to support her family’s GoFundMe campaign. We also encourage taking a look at Creators for Gaza who connected us to Mariam and the other families they support.
