The conditions and treatment of migrants at the US southern border are horrifying and unacceptable. How about we give some support to good immigration and refugee charities and make a little positive difference? Let's do a charity drive for the month of April!

Here are a few well-regarded charities that support refugees and migrants, if there are other suggestions in the thread I'll edit to add them:

RAICES - Refugee And Immigrant Center for Education and legal Services - https://www.raicestexas.org/ways-to-give/donate/

Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights - https://www.theyoungcenter.org/donate

IRAP - International Refugee Assistance Project - https://refugeerights.org/donate

Minority Humanitarian Foundation - https://www.minorityhumanitarianfoundation.com/



PRIZES
-All donations will get a gang tag! If you have graphics chops and want to submit some options, please post those and the thread can pick one or a couple. Hopefully we can settle on a gang tag or two over the Easter weekend (April 3-4)?
-Donations over $50 get an avatar change of their choice.

Post a screenshot of your donation and I'll add you to the contributor list here in the OP. Thanks for helping out!



Contributors:

that dumbshit horse: $50 (Young Center)
Jezebel: $400 (Young Center)
Zurtilik: $15/month (RAICES)
Woof Blitzer: $100 (RAICES)
dxt: $69 (RAICES)
Nocturtle: $50 (RAICES)
GOD IS BED: $10/month (RAICES)

Running total: $1335 + $25/mo donated to help support migrants, who are human beings just like us fukkin nerds but in much dire straits and really need our help. Thank you :)

LET'S DO THIS. $400 cuz I'm a broke-rear end-student on paper, but my family provides a comfy safety net, so I'm trying to do at least some good with my stimulus checks.



I'm happy with my Midsommar AV, but I'll take a gang tag.

e: gently caress been on these dead gay forums like 17yrs and I still can't figure out how to put in images properly

Can I throw in a link to my buddy’s group? They pick up people booted onto the street after ICE detention and reunite them with their families.

done! in the OP now

edit: oh btw I asked Sitting Here (over in Creative Convention) about commissioning some art for gang tags and she was gonna talk to the CC discord. So I'm working on gang tags, but if anyone here wants to throw together some gang tag suggestions that'd be much appreciated

This is a great cause. Went through the green card process myself during the Trump era and despite being treated with relative kid's gloves as a white educated guy still got a BS denial for a mistake USCIS made (got the whole "get out in 2 weeks" letter). I was extremely lucky this didn't ruin my life and could hire a lawyer that (eventually!) got my case reopened. Any organization that helps low-income immigrants navigate the unfair, dysfunctional and expensive US immigration system is doing an important service. Especially if it can help anyone subject to the atrocious conditions at the southern border.

Don't need a new avatar to replace the happy turtle, but a gang tag would be super. One expressing suitable contempt for USCIS+ICE would not be unwelcome.
