Autumn Gupta and Bryanna Wallace have created this very useful guide to action in June. It's designed to be manageable chunks of information and action for White and non-Black allies/accomplices to integrate into their daily lives. There was a lot of labor put into this and it shows. I highly recommend that those wishing to practice allyship, especially those who are relatively new to active engagement or who are feeling close to burnt-out already, take a look.

Justice in June the spreadsheet resides here.

Gupta and Wallace are also running a fundraiser here to extend similar services past June.

For those like me, who need things split out from the google docs to help combat overwhelm, here are links to Bail Funds that are supporting the Black Lives Matter protests, as well as keeping folks out of jail while there's a pandemic on.

Act Blue will split your donation among their list or you can donate to specific funds.

List of Individual bail funds by city and state (similar list to Act Blue but with direct links to the organization webpages).

It's a good idea to check the fund webpage before donating because there has been a lot of support and they may redirect you to another fund. That said, I did a one time donation to the group supported by Act Blue then set up monthly donations to the fund in my state.

Please share if you have other lists you've found helpful.

chestnut_pod posted in the check-in post about this compilation of

the most comprehensive listing of fundraisers, petitions, scripts, and action opportunities I've come across so far.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-0KC83vYfVQ-2freQveH43PWxuab2uWDEGolzrNoIks/mobilebasic#h.1n8cbq1bfcom

I thought it was worth pulling out as a post on its own to make sure everyone would see it.

This was linked in the personal post at FFA (thanks to whoever posted it there!) and is a fantastic list of small and large actions you can take to improve racial justice.

George Floyd's brother has set up the Official George Floyd Memorial Fund on Go Fund Me. (This was linked in a news story on the website of the local CBS affiliate.)

This fund is established to cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist our family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George. A portion of these funds will also go to the Estate of George Floyd for the benefit and care of his children and their educational fund.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd

Also, as protests spread, an increasing number of protesters are being arrested. The National Bail Fund Network uses donations to help free people from pre-trial detention.

The National Bail Fund Network is made up of over sixty community bail and bond funds across the country. We regularly update this listing of community bail funds that are freeing people by paying bail/bond and are also fighting to abolish the money bail system and pretrial detention.

They have a specific COVID-19 rapid response fund, as well as listing general bail funds that mostly work on a state level.

The arts have been deeply important to all of us as we figure out how to live at a distance, whether they have served as escapism, exercise, or bonding. My niche in the arts world is dance, specifically concert dance. This form of art is often barricaded away as something elite, a classification that hides how dancers for these elite companies struggle to make ends meet. This is particularly true for dancers of color, and especially true now, with arts funding slashed and the majority of support going to majority-white major companies with opaque distribution processes. I've compiled a list of companies and collectives whose mission it is to support BIPOC dancers and dance art in particular. If you have disposable income or a bit of your check left to give and you love dance and the arts, spare a thought for these artists!

This is obviously really limited based on the companies and dancers I follow, most of whom are based in the US and UK, so if you have more to add, please do so!

( Straight-to-Dancer Giving )

( Companies With COVID-19-Specific Emergency Funds: )

( Other POC-Supporting Companies Without Covid-19-Specific Funds: )

( General Support )

Again, if you have more to add, please do! Keep on dancing.

If you're fortunate enough not to need the financial support of your stimulus check, you could donate all or part of it to help someone who does need more support.

The National Domestic Workers Alliance has a specific fundraising initiative called the Coronavirus Care Fund that supports its work to:

slow the spread of the virus by providing emergency assistance for domestic workers that enables them to stay home and healthy.

Without access to health care, paid sick leave, or job security, they are being forced to navigate this crisis alone — without a safety net.

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.

Donate to to the Coronavirus Care Fund here

You could also make a donation to your local food bank.

Let us know in comments of other places you think people should consider if they want to donate their stimulus check.

I just saw on social media that local hospital is asking people who have, or can buy, N95 masks, exam gloves, and other personal protective equipment to donate them to the ER. I can't do much to help right now, but I do have a bit of money and an Amazon account, so I ordered two boxes of nitrile gloves for delivery to the Mount Auburn ER.

It's a small thing, but it's something I can do to help right now, more active than self-isolating.

fandomtrumpshate is gearing up for another round.

Over the last three years, creators from over 150 different fandoms (!) have created over 850 fanworks (!!) and in doing so, helped to raise over $73,000 USD (!!!) for a bunch of different organizations that are doing important work to combat parts of the unbelievable nonsense imposed on us by the current administration.

Creator sign-ups for the 2020 auction will go live on January 13th. Details of the organisations being supported this year and other FAQs will be posted over the next few days at

As a big focus in 2020 will be on various kinds of elections, I've pulled together voting-related resources from the last three (!) years of

thisfinecrew. Many thanks to all the people who originally brought these links and organisations to the attention of the comm.

Targeted support for progressive candidates

Sister District (Matches volunteers in safe blue places with strategic state elections throughout the country)

This week saw the launch of a formal impeachement inquiry into Trump, following revelations about the phone call with the president of Ukraine. And it turns out there isn't just one whistleblower but two, with other one alleging possible interference with the IRS audit of Trump's tax returns.

We've only had one new post in the comm, but plenty of ongoing actions -- those relating to immigration have new impetus from the news that the administration is drastically cutting the number of refugees allowed to enter the country.

And please do continue to tell us in the comments what you've been doing! It's great to hear about all the amazing things our members are involved in and a chance for you to inspire others to join in.

This week saw another Democratic primary debate, while an Appeals Court reinstated an emoluments case against Trump, people were kicked off a ferry from the Bahamas to Florida over confusion between the ferry company and CBP about documentation and the administration is planning on screwing up the Amazon even further (to add to screwing up the Arctic). So a typical week, these days....

Hi folks! I apologize for my long absence. Things are normalizing again in my life so I'll be back to posting regularly for check-ins. I want to thank

tanaqui for keeping everything running.

I hope everyone in the path of Hurricane Dorian weathered the storm okay. I also want to give a hug to all our UK friends dealing with Brexit fuckery this week. I don't know if or how we can help, but let us know.

We don't have many new posts this week so here are ongoing actions.

How is it September already? I hope you're all having a good Labor Day weekend and that anyone in the path of Hurricane Dorian stays safe.

We've had a few new actions in the past couple of weeks that are listed below. And with another mass shooting in Texas yesterday, our ongoing actions relating to gun control are still sadly relevant. As, of course, are our our actions relating to migrants and refugees, with reports of further ways people are being targeted and mistreated.

Please also tell us in the comments what you've been doing! It's great to hear about all the amazing things our members are involved in and a chance for you to inspire others to join in.

If you want to help flip the senate in 2020, but don't want to take sides in competitive primary races --

PodSaveAmerica has set up a single fund at ActBlue that will let you donate to the eventual Democratic candidates for a handful of Senate races in 2020. You can donate to the entire slate evenly or designate your money to go into particular states. So it doesn't matter who wins the primary, this money will be waiting for the candidate to hit the ground running.

Get Mitch or Die Trying

States: Colorado, Arizona, Iowa, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama (Doug Jones), Georgia, South Carolina, Alaska, Maine, Texas

(Of these, the most likely ones are Maine, Colorado, Arizona, Iowa, and North Carolina, if you want to narrow down your targets)

I'm using "locally" in two senses: your physical location, and groups that you're a part of. No matter where you are or what your resources and capabilities are, you live in a place, and you're connected to people. Those are two great starting points for activism. Here are some things you can do:

Research local organizations to volunteer with or donate to. Start by searching for the name of your area plus "help for immigrants". In NYC, start with New Sanctuary NYC. In Texas, start with the Texas Civil Rights Project.

Register to host a refugee or immigrant in your home or sponsor them in your community. Positive Action (U.K.) matches refugees with people who have spare rooms, and is looking to expand to the U.S. Freedom for Immigrants (U.S.) is hoping to create alternatives to detention for undocumented immigrants.

Encourage your city to adopt policies in support of immigrants and refugees.

Visit someone in detention.

If you're part of a faith community, ask your community's leaders to join Sanctuary Not Deportation. Also look for organizations specific to your faith or denomination, such as HIAS and Bend the Arc, the American Friends Service Committee, Catholic Charities USA's Immigration and Refugee Services, and Islamic Relief USA. Asking your local faith leaders for suggestions of faith-based organizations to support will encourage them to do that research if they haven't already, and will also tell them this is a significant issue for you and others in your community.

If you're part of a group that has a regular newsletter and invites contributions from members, write a piece for it on how members of your group can take action. (It can be as simple as a list of links like this.)

Organize a fundraiser. Stand for Kids will help you donate your child's lemonade stand profits to charities that assist kids at the border. Fundly has some good ideas for things on the scale of car washes, bake sales, and garage sales—well within reach for most of us. If you want to think bigger, Joan Garry has thoughts on how to hold a fundraiser house party for 50–70 people, and Classy has suggestions for medium-size events in rented or donated spaces (trivia night at a bar, art auction at a gallery, etc.).

This article has a map of detainment centers. If there's one near you, search for the name of it plus "protests" and join or support organizations holding protests there. You may have to do a little digging; news articles on protests often say "activists" or "protesters" without mentioning the names of organizations. But keep looking, because someone got those protesters there. (It took me about 20 minutes of searching for info on protests at the Essex County Correctional Facility in New Jersey, the nearest one to me, to find Resist the Deportation Machine and Casa Esperanza N.J., which seem to be either leading or supporting those protests.)

There are immigrants everywhere, which means that no matter where you live, you may witness or hear about an ICE raid. Here's some information on what to do if that happens:

Know the rights of immigrants. This is a great thing to keep bookmarked on your phone.

Organize an ICE raid rapid response network in your area.

Learn how to respond to an ICE raid if you see or hear about one (PDFs, 10–20 MB, thanks to

squirrelitude for hosting them):

If you have other suggestions, please do share them in the comments.

And if you are struggling with feelings of "Am I doing enough?", as a lot of us are, here are some wise words from Roxane Gay:

My point is, there is a lot going on in the world. There is a lot going on in my world. There is a lot going on in your world. This is the nature of life. We try to find ways to balance taking care of ourselves and our families, with caring about the world we live in and the greater good. Sometimes, we will fall short in one of these areas. Sometimes we will fall short in all of these areas. Most of the time, we do the best we can.

I don’t have an easy answer for you, but I do think many of us get overwhelmed because we think we have to care about everything all the time, as if that’s even possible. We get mired in solipsism and delude ourselves into believing that the proverbial struggle cannot go on without us. This is rarely the case. The grand thing about collective effort is that we can generally trust that someone is out in the world, doing important social justice work when we are too tired or burned out to join in.

...Every day, everywhere, people are doing the work of resisting oppression and tyranny in ways great and small.

...If I focus on just one issue and apply genuine effort and attention to it, I just might contribute something useful. I choose to invest that energy in different ways, whether it’s writing about a pressing issue, amplifying the voices of others, donating money and time to nonprofit organizations, or whatever I can think of that might be useful. Sometimes, I have no idea how I can be useful, so I ask people who are well positioned to point me in the right direction because I recognize that I don’t have to have all the answers.

What you describe in your letter is not apathy. You aren’t indifferent to the current state of the world. You are human, a woman trying to balance your own needs with doing good in the world, and right now, your own needs are winning out. Take the time you need. There is no shame in that so long as you remember to extend your empathy as far as you can when your emotional stores have replenished.

For more practical tips and suggestions, see "The Overwhelmed Person's Guide to Activism" by Clio Chang.

Solidarity! ✊
