Hi, I'm getting a lot of questions around whom can we support financially. Want to collate
Can you pls comment on this thread if you know of a good organisation doing verified relief work/ supporting vulnerable communities / figuring food and essentials for migrant workers etc?
Adding: If you can, please add what they do and where, and link to where we can donate. Also pls add if you are the one who can personally vouch for them.
ETA: sorry if this seems like gatekeeping. we've seen ppl lose money to oxygen suppliers who disappeared, & encountered a literal scam hospital this wk where we lost a patient so. want to be a little cautious. doesn't matter if big/small effort, don't need a certificate.
Update: we are creating as exhaustive a document as possible collating all these since everyone doesn't have twitter and it'll be easier to disseminate.
Hello, here is the live google doc of all the fundraising campaigns doing essential work to meet this present #covidemergency crisis in India. Please share widely, we will keep updating. Our goal is to have as many fundraisers meet their goal as possible.

@shireenazam @hafeezsays_ i think we have met and exceeded the goal. removing the campaign from priority!
many RTs so clarifying. PLS NOTE this is a publicly sourced document put together to the best ability of volunteers. This is NOT a formal organisation, DON'T have those expectations. Our priority is to support vulnerable people, & we do NOT ask for photos as ‘evidence’ as that-
- goes against our ethics. Please do not hold us to that standard. We are doing our best to support mutual aid in these terrible times.
Also there are many wonderful people helping do this including @thecatlyf @squarehaunting @gogoldraws, Rohin, Harismita, Ananay, Shazia, Amartya & a rotating crew who are mostly not on Twitter. It's mutual aid supporting mutual aid so don't solely 'credit' me, it's fine.
TODAY ALONE WE HAVE HELPED FIVE CAMPAIGNS MEET/CROSS THEIR GOALS. Please keep helping us to support people doing essential #covid19 relief work & vulnerable people who need community aid.
Campaigns that met goals:
Adding @migrant_IN to the doc now who do CRITICAL WORK, as PDS and rations will elude thousands of migrant labourers who are on their way home. Again. They have just reopened their phone line and are already overwhelmed. PLEASE HELP US HELP THEM
So has the fundraiser by @psftiss for Gourab Ghosh whose lecture you can listen to here.
Good morning! Updates: The Mazdoor Kitchen campaign has met and exceeded its goals cc
@jahnavi_sen (ty for sharing w us), @nabila_khadija
We've met the immediate 5 lakh goals for @migrant_IN ! THANK YOU and keep helping us support this critical work! Please note that certain efforts supporting large numbers of people have also revised targets to keep being able to do that. We've updated the-
-doc accordingly to reflect the revised goal BUT deprioritising from <urgent need> for now to ensure that individual fundraisers too are not eclipsed. Our ultimate goal is to support as many initiatives as possible while eyes last. We know all too well that attention is short 👀
