Listen okay I'm no Swiftie but I know these tickets in the charity auction could actually raise some meaningful funds that'd go towards crucial support and resources for residential school survivors and their families.

IRSSS does wonderful work, extending their help not only to Indigenous communities impacted by residential schools, but also to families of Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls as well as Indigenous youth who may be struggling with the criminal justice system.

Regardless if you're a Swift fan or not though, if you're in the Vancouver area consider checking out the upcoming IRSSS Anniversary Gala on November 21, 2024:

Hello. Here's two cool places to donate to:

The Indian Residential School Survivors' Society

and

Standing Together.

They are, respectively, a non-profit organization based out of Vancouver BC dedicated to helping residential school survivors, missing/murdered indigenous women, and indigenous youth in the criminal justice system (IRSSS), and a movement dedicated to cohabitation and coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians, free of occupation and oppression and free of those who don't have the people's best interests in mind (ST).

(Both of them accept one-time and recurring donations, whichever you prefer.)

The 2022 Solamancy Zine proceeds will be donated to charity. We’ve had our creators help decide which charity we would donate to. We’re finally ready to reveal the charity of our choice!

When making the decision, our team considered that aspects of the Elven culture in Thedas are inspired by indigenous North American cultures. For that reason, it was important our charity of choice serve them. 

We will be donating all proceeds to: 

The Indian Residential School Survivor Society 

The Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS) is a provincial organization with a twenty-year history of providing services to Indian Residential School Survivors.

The Indian Residential School Survivors Society began in 1994 as a working committee of the First Nations Summit. They were known as the Residential School Project, housed out of and as a part of the BC First Nations Summit. Their work was primarily to assist Survivors with the litigation process pertaining to Residential School abuses. In more recent years their work has expanded to include assisting the descendants of Survivors and implementing Community education measures (Indigenous & Non-Indigenous).

IRSSS provides essential services to Residential School Survivors, their families, and those dealing with Intergenerational traumas. These impacts affect every family and every community across B.C. and Canada. This fact is most evident in the Corrections Canada Services-the numbers of First Nations people incarcerated, Child and Family Services child apprehensions, the high number of people on social assistance, unemployment and underemployed, lower levels of education, the lowest number within an ethnic minority of “determinants of health”, the list of impacts is extremely high while the services available to effectively assist impacts of Residential Schools remain quite low.

July’s Giving Heart pendant is finally available in my #etsyshop. This time around, the proceeds from its sale will be donated in full to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (www.irsss.ca) I’m proud of this construction; this pendant feels to me exactly how I had envisioned and hoped it would. That beautifully painted stone is called wonderstone jasper, this one was mined in Utah. My shop link is in my bio if you’d like to learn more. Thank you for your support, and for helping me support the work of others.❤️ ... #irsss #indigenoussupport #wonderstone #jasper #sunsetstone #minedinutah #madebyhand #givingheart #madeinoakville #jewellerywithmeaning #recycledsilver #ontarioartist #ladysmith #nightsky #rememberance https://www.instagram.com/p/CRfPXebBAtz/?utm_medium=tumblr
