On pledging her royalties to our While They Wait fund: “I did a Twitter search on immigration & I found Scott Hechinger, & this org made the most sense for me. When you can help & you want to, it's really wonderful to do that.” I'm not crying. You are. 😭vulture.com/2019/09/fiona-…
Twitter can be an absolutely vile, horrible place. But I have found that it can also forge extraordinary, unexpected, beautiful, & *meaningful connections that lead to good actions that make the world a better, more just place. I'm grateful for this platform.
The inspiration behind the whiletheywait.org fund is Nilda. Bravest person I know. Survivor of sex & gang violence. Fled Honduras w/ her 2 y/o. Trump separated them. Jailed her for 2 months. Now reunited, she's 1 of 300k+ struggling to survive. This fund helps. Please give:
Please watch this video. Nilda bravely shared intimate details of her story to a filmmaker who then retraced her footsteps from La Ceiba Honduras to the border & thru the hell of separation. benny blanco, Calvin Harris, & Miguel then wrote her soundtrack.
