Ok, finally. For Devi, a comrade of mine, and their family, who is very dear to me. Right now, the big push is for $400 to get their FSA (an account that they can use for medical costs in the so-called United States) out of the negative. It was garnished by a health provider for unpaid bills, which is really fucked, of course. They need it so they can pick up prescriptions that have copays (which is most of the family's prescriptions, unfortunately). We've got $40/400 so far.

This is a direct aid online crowdfunding blitz for vetted families from Gaza. This group of individuals does a good job of financial transparency, and all funds raised this weekend are split evenly between the families for food, water, medical care, and basic necessities. There are also two Gaza-based projects that funds will also be sent to, including a medical and mental health project by a young medical student, Ezz Lulu, who survived the multiple massacres at various hospitals in the North of Gaza.

And most importantly, may we see an end to all settler-colonial occupying forces, and literally all states, corporate entities, and hierarchies soon. Because I fucking hate crowdfunding, and also recognize it's necessary right now.

Share, if you feel compelled, and thanks.

Continued thread

this is going to pay most of my bills for the July cycle but I need to start pushing really hard to get #MutualAid for August! and expenses for moving which we didn't know was going to happen and we need to buy things like lights and maybe a kitchen island. as an aside I have no clue how it is now halfway through 2025.

my spouse @inoru_no_hoshi and I are both disabled Jewish and Jewish-ish queers trying to survive in suburban Los Angeles, with our cat Zoey, and we need help with basically everything while I'm in school and they're doing job readiness (and not ready yet).

we're in the beginning of moving that's what we really needed but that's a hasty process with a lot of unforeseen expenses that we already don't have money for, so anything and everything helps us! this move is the first step towards getting at least partially out of an abusive situation.

currently we're at 0/1000 that we need, this gets us solved for this month and August and means we can buy needed items for moving like plastic bins to put things into.

payment methods below:

CashApp: cash.app/$ceahettan (a bunch of muppets)
Venmo: venmo.com/californiummm (dror lieb)

ask for PayPal/Zelle.

This message is from an immigration attorney, Renée, that I know personally. She has been working pro bono or pay what you can for all of the families she's been helping for the last year plus.

Despite working for free, she still works her ass off to help families avoid detention and deportation, and absolutely goes above and beyond as a rule.

Please consider donating or sharing if it is within your capacity. This particular client is Venezuelan, in removal proceedings (they agreed to have this shared), and are in need of funds for an expert witness to hopefully prevent said removal.

URGENT BAIL FUNDS SUPPORT NEEDED FOR FORMER DV VICTIM

“Hi there I am messaging you on behalf of my friend Aundrea, she was taken into custody at the BMV for a very very old non-violent warrant while trying to obtain a new driver’s license so she could get a driving job offered to her by Amazon.

Her goal was to get the job so she could get her own place and get off of the streets.

She is a victim of DV as well.

They are holding her and we are currently 100 dollars short of meeting the bail amount to get her released.

She has already been attacked by people in there twice and she called me hysterical begging to find someone to help pay for her release.

Idk if you are free to help share a post for her to see if anyone can donate? If so, thank you.”

Re: The tornado path in #StLouis Missouri so-called USA. #STL is a very racially segregated city, due to the history of chattel slavery during and post-Indigenous genocide and westward expansion of the settler state. These neighborhoods that the tornado hit are mostly Black and very materially neglected and deprived by the systems that exist. The area is largely out of internet access now, as well.

All that to say. These communities are in a lot of need right now. People are missing, hurt, and without shelter and food. Here are some opportunities for #directaid:

Libertad para Consuelo, fondo de supervivencia contra la violencia del estado

Freedom for Consuelo, a survival fund against state violence

del instagram instagram.com/p/DJoZTEdsLxV/

en español: Nos comunicamos como amigos de Consuelo, un querido miembro de nuestra comunidad internacional, quien ha sido detenido ilegalmente por las autoridades alemanas desde el 3 de abril. Sin una fecha clara para su liberación, nos estamos uniendo para recaudar fondos para apoyar su supervivencia ahora y en su transición hacia la estabilidad después de esta detención injusta.

Consuelo es un hombre trans negro de Murcia, España. Se mudó a Berlín en 2019, con la esperanza de construir una vida estable y apoyar a su madre, hermana y sobrinas en casa. A pesar de enfrentarse al racismo sistémico y al trabajo mal pagado, trabajó incansablemente hasta su detención.
La noche del 3 de abril, la policía paró a Consuelo sin motivo mientras conducía. Tras mover ligeramente el coche, le esposaron, maltrataron y detuvieron.
