EMERGENCY #MUTUALAID REQUEST

Friends, I'm $140 short on a bill due today. As a DV survivor trying to protect my toddler, almost all of the money I've raised in recent months has gone toward legal bills. All of your support is SO appreciated—this community is everything 💞

Many here will remember the Kamala Harris donation drive last year, leading up to the US presidential election. People contributing to it were criticized for ignoring other causes, like mutual aid requests.

It was hard to prove it at the time, but seeing @aral's Gaza Verified fundraiser reach its $15k goal in only about 8 hours, I think this confirms that people here do care. But also, a simple solution to a problem usually wins.

Compare:

"Click here to save US democracy!" and "Donate $5 to save people in Gaza!"

Vs: "Here's a bunch of strangers who *really* need your help, pick 1-5 of them to save."

Can anyone point me to any past or ongoing conversations around combined mutual aid fundraisers?

I get (at least some of) the challenges involved in this, but given past success stories, I'd like to better understand the seeming lack of efforts to replicate them.

I just unsubscribed from the email list of a really important activist organization that I support with monthly donations, because they've sent me five emails in the past week hitting me up for money. When I already donate monthly!
I sent them this email.

I just unsubscribed from your email list because you send too many damn fundraising emails.

I'm on your monthly donor list, and yet you still think I need to put up with you hitting me up for more money multiple times per week?

Good job alienating your supporters. 10/10 no notes. — I just unsubscribed from your email list because you send too many damn fundraising emails.

| was hoping to use the latest donation toward car insurance, but the check from my DV org toward legal bills will take a few weeks to clear. So all my cash is going toward my lawyer for today's bill.

We're also in a housing crunch because our current situation is not sustainable, and none of the transitional DV programs I've applied to have had availability yet. | really need to get a plan (and cash) together in the next few weeks so we can get into safe & stable housing.

Please look after our palestinian friend Khalid @bilal_mo who has a family of 19 people to look after. Winter is here, it's getting colder by the day and they do not have enough cover for the night for all of them. They might share their blankets at night but sometimes a lot of them might be left bare.
