Abolitionist Mutual Aid Fund for Incarcerated Comrades - The failure to #FreeThemAll and instead continue caging our loved ones without providing basic hygiene supplies is a public health & human rights crisis. Survived and Punished NY and the Inside/Outside Soap Brigade are combining our grassroots fundraising power to send money to incarcerated comrades.

Coalition for the Homeless - While the current COVID-19 outbreak in NYC is dramatically impacting the lives of every person in our city, please remember that homeless New Yorkers are particularly vulnerable, as they have much higher rates of serious underlying health problems, generally lack access to quality health care, and have no way to self-quarantine. The Coalition for the Homeless is doing all in our power to ensure that our neighbors without homes get the help and protection they need during this crisis.

Coronavirus Care Fund - National Domestic Workers Alliance - The money you donate to the Coronavirus Care Fund will provide immediate financial support for domestic workers, and enable them to stay home and healthy — protecting themselves, their families and their communities while slowing the spread of the Coronavirus. For many in-home care workers, nannies, and house cleaners the threat from Coronavirus is especially severe. Without access to health care, paid sick leave, or job security, they are being forced to navigate this crisis alone — without a safety net.

COVID-19 Mutual Aid Fund for LGBTQ+ BIPOC folk - The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the particular vulnerability of queer, transgender, non-binary and/or intersex Black, Indigenous folks and other LGBTQI+ people of color (QTIBIPOC folks). Due to our community disproportionately experiencing a lifelong arc of violence and discrimination, many of our community members are impoverished and housing unstable. Many folks in our community are self-employed or in the service economy, and living with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and/or compromised immune systems.

Disability Justice Culture Club - Many in the disabled community are all too familiar with feeling isolated and surviving in crisis mode, when resources and support are in short supply. The Disability Justice Culture Club uses that DIY know-how to help their own community and other underserved populations. This group supports the most impacted communities (individuals who are homeless, disabled, and elders in particular). They are currently making and distributing hundreds of masks and hand sanitizer, coordinating grocery shopping, meal preparation, and offering educational resources. You can read more about them in this article (click here). Lastly, if you're an Obama fan, you might like to know that he is also supporting them! :)

Emergent Fund: People's Bailout - We’re raising funds and moving them quickly to grassroots organizations, collectives, and mutual aid projects across the country—the ones that need bailing out the most. The Emergent Fund was established to help move resources with no strings attached to communities that were and continue to be under attack by federal policies and priorities – immigrants, women, Muslim and Arab-American communities, Black people, Indigenous communities, LGBTQ communities, and all people of color.

Headwaters Foundation - Headwaters can see how this current moment is much more than a public health crisis. The coronavirus is magnifying how systems and institutions keep letting our communities fall through the cracks. Our grantee partners—the majority of which are led by and serve Black People, Indigenous People, and people of color (BIPOC) are telling us in real-time about how their communities are absorbing more social, political, and economic consequences than they did before the outbreak.

Navajo and Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Fund - The Navajo Nation and Hopi Reservation are extreme food deserts with only 13 grocery stores on Navajo to serve some 180,000 people and only 3 small grocery marts on Hopi to serve some 3,000 people.

OUR Fund, Centro Legal de la Raza - This fund addresses a critical gap in our social safety net, as undocumented workers are excluded from unemployment benefits and many other types of relief. Every worker awarded with a mini grant will receive $500-$1,000. We need your help to build this life-changing fund. For many undocumented workers, this type of relief is the only resource to sustain their family’s livelihood. This fund is a part of Centro Legal de La Raza.

Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project - While we are making adjustments with the shelter-in-place order, many of our people don’t actually have the means to do what is being mandated throughout the state. For many Black and Brown Trans Women, there is no home to go to and no way to get food or survive without going out. Many rely on meal programs to get their food each day. And too many of our girls need to go out and hustle to get the money they need to survive. For our girls on the inside of jails and prisons, the impact will be even worse because COVID-19 is going to spread most quickly there. We are scared of what this means for our family on the inside.
