Hello! I'm hoping to fundraise for an organizer & care worker in the Philippines whose work focuses on abolition, harm reduction, and survivor support. They are unfortunately in need of funds. They're actually the same person who is in contact with local mutual aid groups when the typhoon hit!
In the last two months they've been participating in regional meetings about drug policy reform and harm reduction in southeast Asia to take space for a project in their community by street based youths whose lives are impacted by drugs, and who has targeted identities and criminalized ways of surviving. Their work centers abolitionist dreams and practices.
Attending these regional meetings however meant that they had to take time off work and pay for the trip out of their own pocket so they're currently in need of funds to cover loss of income.
You can PayPal them directly through delicateresistance@gmail.com but if you don't have PayPal you can also send to https://ko-fi.com/duriandistro just make sure to label it.
on my personal acct on @jag i posted that there's a lot of flooding in the philippines right now, and i'm a part of a mutual aid collective over there that will help with first aid, antibiotics, food, clean water, and comms.
