To prevent disappointment when submitting something to this blog, I’d like to explain to people that I do not share individual fundraisers for people in need. 

Partly this is because of all the bad dynamics that come up in crowdfunding our survival and partly because there are just too many and I don’t want to decide who deserves the exposure and who doesn’t. 

So please don’t submit personal fundraisers. I only share call-outs for good collective initiatives like safe houses, legal defend funds for activists, refugee rescue operations, etc. 

These lasting structures that provide aid to whoever needs it without requesting a public display of desperation are far more powerful, far more dureable and far more effective than a thousand individual funding requests. 

Oh, and I share a limited number of these collective initiatives because I know most of us reading here don’t have a penny to spend and it can feel very hopeless to see constant requests for money when you have nothing to give.
