Important Links
Hi Everyone!
I’m working on building out a Navigation for my blog, and wanted to include some links to resources and causes that I care about. While not Potter-related, I think everyone can agree the Harry Potter series dabbles with social justice, thus it makes sense to link organizations and groups actively working towards establishing justice in our world. These aren’t the end-all be-all for any of the issues/resources these pages provide, but they’re a good starting point for education and getting involved. Most of these links are to US-based groups, but I will be continuously updating this page and adding more global resources the more I learn. If any of the links don’t work, please send me a message/ask and I’ll fix them!
Therapy for Black Girls
Black Trans Advocacy Coalition
GLAAD Transgender Resources
Informed Immigrant: COVID resources for Undocumented Peoples
Immigrant Defense Project: Provide legal resources for immigrants
Their assistance is legal advice, they do not provide legal representation
Impact Fund: An NPO providing funding, representation and legal support for marginalized peoples
Fair Fight: to learn more/help fight against voter suppression in the US
Anti-Asian Violence Resources
Yemeni Liberation card
Planned Parenthood
Survived and Punished
An org dedicated to helping survivors of domestic and sexual violence who’ve been imprisoned
Free Palestine Card
Decolonize Palestine
African American Intellectual History
Student/Farmworker Alliance: This is an org via which students can support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a Human Rights group made by agricultural workers for agricultural workers--most of whom are Latin/x.
The exploitation of agricultural workers in the US was something I studied in college, and had previously known nothing about. The documentary Food Chains is a great intro to the CIW and The Campaign for Fair Food, the CIW’s ongoing efforts for equity in the pay and working conditions of agriculture workers.
The Marshall Project: Criminal Justice Journalism from an NPO (hence police abolition, prison abolition, the abolition of ICE)
Black Lives Matter really surged last summer, but the org itself is fairly problematic when it comes to making celebrities out of activists, and failing to redistribute wealth/donations to better serve the black community and our liberation efforts. I highly suggest heading to the Marshall Project/other NPOs to learn, get informed about current events, and find activists to follow in regards to police brutality, and the role the US Criminal Justice system plays in perpetuating and upholding institutional racism.
