Thread by @manukoreri

My dear friends & supporters. A #mutualaid request thread for #disability justice. Please share this appeal.
Another week in the Hunger Games, keeping everyone inspired for making the changes that justice needs across the board.
I need to ask for your urgent help please.

A critical surgery is rapidly approaching on April 28 (see gofund.me/33e85043 for direct details). However I'm still unable to raise enough to provide any certainty about accessing the treatment, as I have not been able to access necessary lymphatic massage treatment.

As I'm on DSP, without health to currently work (even despite being gatekept away from employment by #disabilitydiscrimination), I'm in no position to fund this myself. Access to healthcare denied just because I've exhausted my resources in funding human rights journalism work.

Please dig in any amount you can spare - if all my SM followers were to donate just $10 each, I'd have enough to treat all my health issues, providing me with certainty of treatment pathways, protection from recurrent sepsis, & full rehab so I can get back to the frontline.

And a little bit of dignity too, instead of battling to survive with unsupported disability, because I exist outside the narrow criteria for funding

If you cannot afford to contribute - I ask you again, please share my appeal with an endorsement to your networks.

I want to be back to field strength & sustainable health, so I can support the Blak, First Nations, Environmental Resistance & West Papua justice movements in getting their stories out powerfully to the world, & as deep work on the crisis journalism tool, fivearm.isafemojo.press

Please donate at my dedicated surgical fund here gofund.me/33e85043. also paypal.me/manukoreri , or please DM for bank transfer details.
In hope for your support to access basic healthcare that most people take for granted.
warmly, & with gratitude,
Nick Chesterfield xo
