At the end of every month, I’m going to start sharing calls for funding for worthy causes and people, as well as important upcoming events.
We cannot all be in the streets all the time, and the professional risks of speaking out publicly are becoming too severe for many to risk. Often the only way we can help is with a donation, however small, to those fighting the good fight. I hope you will do what you can for whomever you can.
If you know of any efforts I should include, please comment on this post so others can see it and I’ll fold it into next month’s newsletter.
Also, as always, subscribing for less than $5 per month helps me continue my own work.
Funding Calls
MIT whistleblower Dr. Babak Babakinejad only has a few more weeks to raise the funds necessary to fight his wrongful termination. All of Babak’s concerns were verified and the program was shut down completely. And still, they fired him in retaliation. Please help him receive the compensation he is due. Donate here.
A local artist just had her first coloring book published on Amazon! You can buy a copy for your kids, your grandkids, nieces, nephews, whomever! Click here to purchase on Amazon.
The UNHCR continues to provide international relief for refugees across the world. You can support them here.
CASA provides legal, professional and charitable support to new immigrants in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Georgia. Their lobbying arm, Casa in Action, fights Trump’s fascism in court and in statehouse building. Casa continues to fight for immigrants in landmark cases, including Trump V. Casa — the birthright citizenship case. You can donate to CASA here.
I know that sometimes $5 or $10 donations feel small, but truly they have an invaluable impact on fundraising efforts. If 1,000 people give $5, a program like UNHCR could provide tarps to hundreds of families to protect them from severe weather.
