To those looking for ways to support these workers, who have long been the backbone of our economy, here are some #COVID19 relief funds:
The @domesticworkers #CoronavirusCareFund provides immediate financial support for nannies, house cleaners, and care workers, so they can stay home and healthy —protecting themselves & their families while slowing the spread of #COVID19. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/coronavirus-care-fund
Tipped workers & other service workers need immediate support. The @onefairwage Emergency Fund provides cash assistance to restaurant workers, car service drivers, delivery workers, personal service workers and more: https://ofwemergencyfund.org/
Farmworkers are on the front lines keeping us fed, often without enough protections from #COVID19 on the job, or the means/benefits to stay home if they or a loved one falls ill. Support them through the @mujerxsrising Farmworkers’ Pandemic Relief Fund: http://bit.ly/FWC19Fund
The entertainment industry has come to a near standstill. @YEAimpact, @PayUpHollywood, and the Scriptnotes Podcast teamed up to create the Hollywood Support Staff #COVID19 Relief Fund, aimed at assisting LA-based support staffers affected by shutdowns: https://www.gofundme.com/f/44ndst-relief-fund-for-hollywood-support-staff
. @WeAreSoze, in partnership with TaskForce and Invisible Hand, launched the Artists + Activists Relief Fund, providing unrestricted micro-grants on an ongoing basis to those in the arts and culture sector who need it during this #COVID19 crisis: https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/artist-activist-coronavirus-relief-fund
I'll keep adding #COVID19 relief funds to this thread, and please do reply if there are funds you’d like to share.
We should all help - in the ways we are able - to ensure our economy’s most vulnerable workers weather this storm, & that our communities come out of this stronger.
