hey guys, so my boyfriend @thegreasepuppy is in some pretty serious pain lately and needs emergency dental work asap.

after wrestling back and forth with several dentist offices and the insurance company, and pretty much needs $2000 before he can eat properly. if you could spare anything at all that’d be absolutely fantastic and if not, please spread this around. i really hate to see him in so much pain.

Help Nick Get Emergency Dental Treatment, organized by Nickolas Blackwater

Hello, my name is Nickolas Blackwater and I'm in desperate need of denta… Nickolas Blackwater needs your support for Help Nick Get Emergenc

[desbelief]

hey!

my name is feraji. im a black, bi, nonbinary teen from atlanta. ive been struggling with severe mental health for a while as a survivor of sexual assault, and it has always been a goal of mine to move out. as my 18th birthday looms near in february, this desire is becoming more and more possible.

i grew up muslim and decided to stop practicing when i was 13, and this is also when i realized i wasnt cishet. unfortunately, this has had cataclysmic affects on my mental health and my immediate family dynamic.

ive had problems being able to be around them, specifically one of my parents. i feel out of place and i dont have the room to be myself, to the point where its been the source of a lot of stress and sorrow for me. i know they love me, its just hard. they dont really seem to understand the extent of which my mental illness affects my everyday life, and for that reason i can lash out, be reclusive, or just be offbeat in general. this has been afffecting me in drastic ways for more than 6+ years, between 15+ mental hospital visits, adverese medication experiences, and therapists among therapists.

ive recently gotten a job, but im having a hard time saving. i have always really struggled with money management, and since it is nearing the end of the year, i could really use some help building up some savings.

i know this matter isnt a pressing as some donation posts, but i really, really want to try to change my environment in hopes i can start building a healthier life for myself mentally, finally start a path for myself, and release all of the repression of my identity and ideals, finally being able to spread my wings. this opportunity means the world to me.

im not asking for much- even a dollar that i can put towards something like my ticket, new clothes, suitcases, and ect. would lessen my anxiety and fear of not being able to make it out and help me live so much better while im still living with my family. thank you.

Apparently this happened 3 days ago.  Did you know about it? i sure didn’t, because it’s not on any major news station.   I’m tired of people ignoring us, I’m tired of people hating us, it’s really not difficult to just NOT vandalize a memorial that stands in honor of the 6 million Jews who were systematically murdered.  It’s not hard to just NOT shoot us, or stab us, or kill us.  It’s not hard!!!!! I do it every day!!!!!! SOMEBODY GET MAD FOR US FOR ONCE

[honorthegods]

I’m mad for you. This is heartbreaking.

Video Transcription from user @/lelegenevieve on TikTok: “If you’ve been supporting the Black Lives Matter movement or are looking for ways to support, please stop scrolling and signal boost this video. I’ve been coding—pretty tirelessly—everyday for my website pb-resources.com. It’s an education tool and resource I’ve been using to compile information to fight police brutality and white supremacy. There are calls to action, educational tools, and different places to donate. Today I added this section that allows you to input your information and send automated emails; and everything is filled out for you. It was also really important that for me to adds way to support the Black trans community. And in a few days, the website will be generating ad revenue and 100% of the proceeds will be donated; so all you have to do is visit the site to support BLM. Lastly, I’ve been asking you guys to follow me on Instagram (@/alexisdenisew) so I can hit 10k and get the swipe up update and I’m almost there. So if you haven’t already, go follow.”

If anyone with experience with audio transcription formatting would like to repost this with a better transcript, please do, my experience is limited.

As of today, June 16th, 2020, Alexis is at 11K followers on Instagram and has the swipe up feature, but please continue to share this website!

so the minnesota freedom fund turned out to be fraudulent :///

[tinaseh]

[doctorfreak]

y’all..........remember 1. most grassroots organizations aren’t prepared or expecting to raise 30+ million dollars in 3 weeks 2. days after they started they said they had enough donations and asked people to direct funds to needier orgs 3. they announced they’ve spent over $200k bailing people out and are working on doing more 4. community organizing done right is hard work with a lot of different factors and limited resources Beyond just money.

hold these organizations accountable and demand transparency. but this original post has such little information and y’all are just circulating it? read the thread from the oakland mask org that started years ago and how intense this work is. it’s been three weeks and these are what looks like less than 12 people who have been given an immense amount of cash in an unbelievably short amount of time. i wouldn’t be so quick to call this a shaun king situation.

[anonymusbosch]

I follow Fadumo. She's deleted these tweets.

The MN Freedom Fund has existed since 2016. Prior to the George Floyd protests, they were a small bail fund that paid out around $1000 per day. Paying out over $200,000 in 20 days puts them at over 10 times their previous payout rate.

They stopped taking donations very early on because the support overwhelmed their capacity.

Their front page now, as it has been since late May, is almost entirely links to local efforts which need more support - Black Visions Collective, Reclaim the Block, and funds like Rebuild Lake Street and the Northside Business Association.

Meanwhile, The National Lawyers Guild has said that jails are delaying activists from being able to release protestors.

The MNFF should be transparent about how it's using the money, yes. I believe they should also redirect the donations they can't immediately use to other organizations. But they're a 501(c)3 nonprofit, there are restrictions on how they can spend and transfer money. You can check out their nonprofit filing forms on ProPublica - no one at MNFF receives a salary.

Keep orgs accountable, keep pushing for transparency, but please do a little more leg work before accusing an org of fraud.

ways to support the blm movement

this google doc includes a list of petitions to sign, resources to help educate yourself and others, organizations to donate to, and contacts of law officials to get in touch with to express your support for the george floyd and black lives matter movements. this includes ways to help even if you don’t live in america. please read it and support the movement. 

use your voice. use every platform you have, no matter how big or how small. nothing will change if you just sit there and watch. if you think you’re the exception, you’re not. remaining indifferent will only support the oppressor. do something.

write to your legal representatives. express your support for legislation that would bring justice to the unarmed civilians who’ve been murdered by law enforcement officers. demand for justice. 

call 612-324-4499 ㅡ this is a hotline that will coach you on how to get connected with the people who can arrest the officers that murdered george floyd. 

create serious conversation. stop demeaning people who disagree with your philosophies on how to overcome. it is useless and no better than the practices of the oppressor to silence. we need to listen to each other with respect and really consider how we can combine our perspectives to create practical change. 

please feel free to add any links or resources or information that you think will be helpful and also reblog to spread awareness. the systems we are fighting against were literally created to oppress marginalized communities and therefore will not go down without a fight. we need to collectively stand up and do something about it. 

[wrongxdog]

if you screenshot your donation to https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/ i’ll do some art for you! anything you’d like.

[wrongxdog]

hey be careful spreading protest pictures with the protesters’ faces completely visible. ik tumblr feels relatively anonymous at least compared to twitter but there are still people here that could report those pictures to authorities, and that can cost more lives.

blur out protesters’ faces PLEASE.

[sonodaten]

Not just faces; blur out clothes, shoes, tattoos, hair, everything identifiable, even if they’re wearing a mask. Police and the govt can use literally ANYTHING as an identifier to track these people down. So many protestors were tracked down and killed one by one after Ferguson because their faces and names were plastered all over the Internet, and you can bet that wasn’t a coincidence.

ABOUT THE PHOENIX, AZ PROTEST TONIGHT.

I don’t know what additional action will be taken nor do I want to suggest what this means for attendance, but I think this is important to keep in mind.

please be safe.

additionally, i’ve heard that BLM Phoenix will shortly be organizing their own event- one that isn’t run by a Trump supporter.
