definitely agree, if we could meet close enough to even brush fingertips, i truly believe that we could get some world shaking things done.
now, to be fair, i don't know all the groups that are already doing this work on levels i just can't see yet (the whole, "think global, work local" part where in pockets of the country they are doing LOTS of work but, like you said, the loss of communication really keeps us from knowing how people are already doing so much and how we can link up and join in the work).
i don't know how to bring everyone together either, but the things im seeing in movements re: congo, sudan, palestine and Stop Cop City + looking back at how people organized without the internet/knowing they were being tracked/etc. makes me hopeful we can figure it out.
thank you for playing and responding, really appreciate it!
Really liked this, glimpsed at some other peoples' results, and really thankful for some of the choices I made. And maybe that's good? Cause that's like life, you make a decision wondering if it's the right one and then you see others who chose what you almost did and even though you don't love where you're at, at least that other decision isn't haunting you anymore. Just thinking out loud, really appreciate this, thank you.
An update! So far, submissions are going to be until early to mid-April with the bundle running the entirety of May. We've only gotten responses from three of the organizations (every one except the first organization mentioned) so we'll be sending funds to them. Hoping to get to at least fifty submissions by the end of this week! If you're able to there are posts that boost this specifically for Trans Day of Visibility at @ATonyJerome1. Please feel free to share! Hope you're well!
Hey everyone,
I'm a black autistic nonbinary creator raising money for black trans women within the next two months.
The bundle will support four organizations (reached out to itch, hoping to hear back but will have it going regardless) starting on Trans Day of Visibility (March 31st) and ending on April 29th.
Profits will be split evenly among:
- Homeless Black Trans Women Fund: Building safe homes & communities for Black Homeless Trans Women; while providing housing and 24 / 7 emergency financial assistance to those Trans folks in urgent need.
- GLITS: “Glits has been led to change systemic and economical oppressions of systemic and financial discrimination not only in NYC but also globally when it comes to our marginal communities. GLITS creates holistic solutions to the health and housing crises faced by TGBLQIA+ individuals experiencing systemic discrimination at intersecting oppressions impacted by racism and criminalization, through a lens of harm reduction, human rights principles, social justice and community empowerment, imbued with a commitment to empowerment and pride in finding solutions in our own community.”
- For the GWORLS: We are a Black, trans-led collective that curates parties to fundraise money to help Black transgender people pay for their rent, gender-affirming surgeries, smaller co-pays for medicines/doctor’s visits, and travel assistance.
- Black and Pink: Fighting for prison abolition via advocacy, support, & organizing for LGBTQ+ folks & PLWH who are system impacted
Taking submissions from now until March 27th. Feel free to submit here or you can submit through the form here.
This is also the first time I'm doing a co-op bundle so if you have any tips, they're appreciated! Hope you're all well!
Best,
A.Tony
