message from Jason Momoa on whaling in Iceland. Aquaman himself π§ββοΈ, our partner, friend and great supporter of whales π
Hello everybody, Iβve something very important I want to share, itβs happening right now in Iceland.
This year, Iceland made a brave decision on June 2th to suspend whaling for the summer, based on animal welfare concerns.
Whales were hunted with explosive harpoons, some suffering up to two hours before dying. Two thirds were female and a number were pregnant.
The Icelandic government is now deciding whether they can extend the ban into September for the rest of the hunting season.
I want to encourage Iceland to maintain the ban on whaling, and to end whaling for good. And I support the Icelandic people who are fighting for healthy oceans and for the whales.
Lets celebrate these beautiful creatures and be on the right side of history.
All my love, all my aloha.
Whales matter. The ocean matters.
Please help me. We dont need to be hunting whales.
Please sign the petition in @herahilmar bio.
And please write to @svandissvavarsdottir , Icelandic minister of food, agriculture and fisheries, and ask her to make the brave decision to stop it for good β
Aloha,
J π

@rescue_korea is the International Rescue Committeeβs first fundraising office in Asia, and they are doing amazing work. The IRC supports the survival, recovery and reconstruction of the lives of individuals and families suffering from humanitarian crises including refugees affected by war and conflict, natural disasters and climate change. I have been an ambassador for them for 10 years and while filming in #Seoul I went to see the staff here and was inspired by all they are accomplishing. Here is a link to the article we did. https://www.thebutter.org/news/articleView.html?idxno=372 I support @rescueorg work because they support people whose lives have been upended by war, conflict and natural disasters. They work in countries where people donβt have the support they need to recover from crisis. They respond within 72 hours, staying to help countries stabilize and people rebuild their lives. And they resettle refugees welcomed by the United States, helping them to succeed and thrive. If you are interested in supporting this work in #Gaza #SouthSudan #Myanmar #Burkinafasso and across the globe go to @rescueorg. We can work together to stabilize the world and get people from harm to home.

With gun violence across our nation this week, Iβm talking with @pantsuitpolitics and Kris Brown President of @bradybuzz about how we can use culture, to shift norms on safe gun storage and save lives. Take a listen π§π§‘link to the pod in my stories #ShowYourSafety #EndFamilyFire
The @leeummuseumofart in #Seoul is out of this world. The juxtaposition of National Treasures of #Korea and the contemporary work of @philippeparreno in a Rem Koolhaus building is jaw dropping and inspired.

Wisconsin! The GOP is attempting to overthrow your Supreme Court election by impeaching Judge Protasiewicz. Theyβre afraid of fair district lines and protected access to abortion. We must fight back against this power grab! Text JANET to 63033 to make your voice heard.

Thank you to @FeedingAmerica food banks for visiting D.C. during #HungerActionMonth. The #FarmBill must strongly invest in TEFAP, a program that moves food from farms to food banks, a win for both farmers and families facing hunger! #FarmBillFlyIn
