Mutual aid & Support Rebuilding

10/29 Update

MASSIVE THANK YOUS to everyone who has donated directly to my venmo - y’all raised over 5k in the first few weeks, which we distributed to other local mutual aid efforts and also used to support our own water and food distribution efforts and rent support for friends whose workplaces washed away. If you’d like to donate to support mutual aid and rebuilding efforts in our region but are overwhelmed by the list below, you can venmo me @ Mara-Pfeffer and I will distribute the funds!

You can also send donations directly to any of those mutual aid efforts below, or consider supporting Rebecca Beyer, one of my beloved teachers whose beautiful studio Pars Fortuna was destroyed in the storm.
