Let's Help
A lot of people are being harmed by the current administration. Let's mobilize & help them.
I'll pick a Trump order/policy weekly & highlight relevant orgs we can collectively help w/our money & time. Every little bit adds up.

- I think one way to help today is to share photos of activists around the country. And share them with people who haven't been to a protest. Let's celebrate people making their voices heard!

- Reposted by Let's HelpThe Trump administration’s roundup of students who protested Israel’s bombardment of Gaza marks an astonishing, radical break with what one might justifiably think of as the central American idea. I wrote about it for @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- Share resources with people who might need it

- If you are affiliated with a university, encourage them to publicly support their students like this.
- Faculty “support Tufts U commencing legal action, w/o delay…to enjoin the government & its agents from arresting, detaining or deporting university students, staff or faculty based upon their engagement in constitutionally protected expression” danieldrezner.substack.com/p/a-fletcher...

- In week 8, we're helping international students enrolled in US universities:
- This thread is relevant to this week's topic, and includes more ways to help
- Modern science is international. Travel is essential for training & collaboration, but the US is not reliably safe for many of us. We all have ways to confront the threat, even if leadership is failing us. More on that + Dept of Ed in this week's debrief buttondown.com/liminalcreat... (1/5)
- This week, let's help vulnerable international students who attend US universities. Below, I'm going to paste the text of a letter I sent my senators. It's best if you tie in your own experience, but feel free to copy/paste and use as needed.
- Let's make sure to help out the employees and mail recipients who will be most affected by the DOGE takeover. See pinned post.
- In week 7, let's help postal service employees and rural mail recipients most likely to lose service. Many postal delivery jobs, routes, and post offices are at risk under new plans for cuts. See the thread for info on actions you can take to help.
- Many of these are a result of individual people standing up to do what's right in the face of fascism
- Applicable to one of our previous weeks' action themes

- Who we're helping in Week 6: Hungry and Unhoused Americans
- For week 6, we're going to help organizations that help those in need which are receiving funding cuts, or are not receiving increases they need because of increasing demand, due to the Continuing Resolution budget.
- Meals on Wheels and Habitat for Humanity are facing budget cuts 😞 I'll post in replies here if I see updates now that the CR budget passed www.ksat.com/news/local/2...
- Week 5: Helping feed and inform local folks
- Who we're helping this week: Informing local folks who aren't in your online circles, and local mutual aid Many ideas here thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lon...

- Reposted by Let's HelpRecommended this a friend recently. They texted this morning to tell me that they made their first-ever call to reps using this app. If you've been scared to call, this can help. If you know people who are scared to call, suggest this. It's never to late to start and we're gonna need all of us.
- Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
- Reposted by Let's HelpOther ideas for other ways to fight back. If you don't know where to start, pick one of these and do it.
- Reposted by Let's HelpGot a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇 I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.
- Sorry for dropping off here, but it's temporary. I'm having an unexpectedly extra busy few weeks, and need to focus on other items. Take breaks for self care, but come back. I'll be back to pick up where we left off, soon.
- Reposted by Let's HelpIf you think you’re powerless because you’re looking at what’s going on in DC, I urge you to shift your focus, and figure out where in your STATE and LOCAL government there’s an election coming up, and showing up to oppose MAGA agenda right where you live!

- Personally I can’t imagine anything more American than making sure I and anyone who listens to me are aware of our rights under the law and Constitution and are prepared to exercise them as we may. www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta...
- I know things are bad right now, but this feed is meant to counter the chaos and focus on one topic per week, so we can all make a difference for affected people, together. Please share. Let's help those we can. (Also, personally, it makes me feel better when I'm doing *something* to help)
- Reposted by Let's HelpPlease share this information to help the families of people detailed by ICE know what they can do next immigrantjustice.org/know-your-ri...
- See my posts from this week for some ways to help migrant families (and send me more to share if you have any!)
- Reposted by Let's HelpThis sounds ridiculous, right? That we'd send a child to court alone to defend themselves against an ICE attorney, right? But that's what happens already to the majority of unaccompanied immigrant children, only a fraction of whom get pro bono attorneys via govt support.
- Reposted by Let's HelpThese are legal services provided to immigrant and asylum-seeking children who are facing deportation ALONE, either because they arrived alone after making the journey to seek safety by themselves, or because they were separated from their families members by us.
