UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2021
We are temporarily halting the
fundraiser as we re-organize the way we manage our resources. Please
contribute directly to the groups on our directly to keep the support
flowing!
We will be re-initiating our fundraiser here soon so please stay posted.
Fundraising statement:
While we recognize that there are a lot of crowdfunding campaigns for Indigenous relief funds, we thought it necessary to establish this emergency fund specifically for radical Indigenous Mutual Aid projects and individuals.
We don’t want to see endless fundraisers and non-profit
industrial cooptation get in the way of necessary work on the ground. We
want to ensure critical resources get directly into the hands of
anti-capitalist and anti-colonial organizers that either may not have
access to those sources or don’t want to engage with them. No strings or
branding attached here. We won’t ask recipients to send us pictures to
share with funders.
Donations will be allocated as quickly as
possible. Decisions will be made for funding based on resources
available and critical needs.
If you don’t want to use the form to donate please paypal to: littlewind1806@gmail.com.
Please put a note that it is for the “Indigenous Mutual Aid Emergency Fund” if you do not use the form below.
We are anti-profit, all proceeds will go to resources for the network and the emergency fund.
