The Pale Red Dot – Middle East Humanitarian Aid
With recent escalations of conflict in the Middle East, countless innocent lives have been lost, and countless others are being placed in jeopardy by the aerial and ground attacks exchanged between major powers. The Pale Red Dot is a cosmic perspective film that's raising money for the Red Cross' Middle East Humanitarian Crisis Appeal. By donating, you're helping the people in the midst of this conflict who need medical and/or psychosocial care, as well as food, water, shelter, and other basic human necessities. 100% of donations will be given to the cause.
The purpose of the Pale Red Dot is to instil a shared oneness in every human on the planet, regardless of race or ethnicity, religion or faith, gender or sexuality, casting aside our perceived differences. In 1990, the Voyager I spacecraft rotated its camera back at Earth and captured the legendary Pale Blue Dot photograph-a scene which revealed our entire planet as a single pixel, ushering in a profound cosmic perspective to humanity. That same perspective is needed more than ever in the world today. We need to consider that 'borders' are an artificial concept we've invented. Races, ethnicities, and ideologies are definitions we've created. The lives of human beings, however, are real, physical things that are being put in peril by weaponized attacks on all sides. We can do our part to minimize their suffering and share compassion for each other. We're all Earthlings, in the end, living in a vast and lawless universe. Let's share this tiny little speck of a planet with everyone ♡
