UK folks, enough doom-scrolling its time to move #CovidReliefForIndia
We've been in search of a list of grassroots groups who are focused on marginalised communities in India + this is the best on we have found (thanks @KristinaDotter for sharing this) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eiobgyrl8iz-R1Dz7c4R5pzzzkuZLBj99vaC7T_UeVo/edit#heading=h.e7p0hkder9sf

Will keep adding to this thread as we find out more as many groups dont have website/accounts + receiving funds in different ways. Attaching on group in Bengal below via @anandalee
+ have details for another friends directing funds to a Dalit activist

We're going to make some payments via our India account this weekend, so if you want to send donations without an Int Transfer fee we could probably help? (Obv do this with us if you know me personally )
Keep up to date from legit news orgs+do what you can to support @thecaravanindia @scroll_in @thewire_in @newslaundry who are doing their best to cover the crisis under incredibly hostile political climate esp because @Twitter kps sensoring their accounts https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/24/22400976/twitter-removed-tweets-critical-india-censor-coronavirus
Share info on Covid-relief actions with folks who might know people in India that are looking for support - these are all on instagram and not everyone's on that platform: @kolkatafightscovid19 @covidbangalore.support @punefightscovid19 @covidaidresources
Please think twice before donating and do your research/get in touch with ppl who understand the politics at the moment. Do not donate to @Sewa_Intl - an old affiliante of Hindutva organisation RSS https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/2/hindu-right-wing-groups-in-us-got-833000-of-federal-covid-fund
Finally, if you need something sobering to read to really get a sense of where we are at with the crisis, and also the politics, no one does it better than Arundhati Roy https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/apr/28/crime-against-humanity-arundhati-roy-india-covid-catastrophe - Ill try to add some more stuff on advocacy+organising in India a bit later today
