Black Empowerment and Mutual Aid Project

@blackmutualaid-archive

The atrocities that black people have faced are endless. In light of recent events, it is especially important to center and prioritize the needs of black folks right now. We created this group to help connect black people to mutual aid resources, such as access to funds and any other help that can be offered. You can also find our Facebook group at "Black Empowerment & Mutual Aid Project", where we connect black folks to the resources we so desperately need on a one-on-one basis!

I haven’t been on tumblr in awhile so this is embarrassing but my car recently broke down and work is my only main source of income. Without my car it’s very hard to go from school to work and home. I’m behind bills, rent is due on the 5th and I have a negative account so any help is appreciated!!

Hello! Mod Aster here. I would like to apologize for the lack of presence on this blog the past several months. I remade my main blog last year and lost access to this one. In my absence, my co-mod started using this blog to mostly plug their own donation posts. I was not aware of this until today, and I am so sorry that things went down this way.

The good news is, if y'all are willing to trust me, I am back and prepared to make this space active again! I have a good amount of time to put into this and am looking forward to making this space a safe one once more. 💜

Please signal boost this post, and thank you for reading!

After a bit of thinking, I have decided that I would personally feel better moving this project to a new blog. Please follow and submit @blackmutualaid if you need help or are an ally. I will be leaving this blog up for accountability.

!! BLACK AUTISTIC TRANS MAN IN NEED OF HOUSING !!

Hey guys!! I’ve been recently staying in a hotel after leaving an abusive relationship and trying to find housing. It’s been really stressful and hard to find a place because of COVID. If anyone is able to send me funds for food and necessities while I am still trying to find a place to live that’d be AMAZING. If not, if you could reblog or share my info with anyone else that’d be great too. Anything helps!! ❤️ cashapp: sugaryc1 Venmo: sugaryc1

I was wondering if you could post this to your blog? I'm a low-income, black college student trying to do thesis research!

...

Hi! My name is Amaya and I'm a rising senior doing thesis research. I am researching online mutual aid networks, and I'm trying to recruit people to interview for my research - compensation would be $20 per 1 hour video interview, and $1 per reference, up to 5 dollars (so max $5). All communication would be kept completely private and there will be no identifying information in my research.

My account is pretty bare because I made it solely for research - PM me for a link to my consent form with more information about the project, as well as mine and my thesis advisor's contact info. And please PM me if you or someone you know is interested in participating.

Your help would be much appreciated!

hey lil psa... since nonblack folks have been trying to submit to this blog, we have been forced to check about pages/descriptions/selfie tags before sharing posts. if you need a post boosted on this blog, please include verbal or physical confirmation that you are black, either by stating it in the post or including a picture. Thank you :)

knowing ppl who have extremely wealthy friends or access to them or even their own wealth is really useless bc they will see me crowdfunding repeatedly for family emergencies & won’t even share the funds w/those people who’s bags cost more than my brother bail or my dad funeral.

let alone actually donate, they wont even share the post with ppl they connected to. like we can kiki and be cute on socials but when it comes to caring about my or anyone’s material well being? that’s out. we nothing but entertainment at the end of the day. a diversion.

anyway:

venmo: @ sleepisforlovers

Update:

the funeral is today, thank you to everyone who shared and donated.

as for my brother in jail,

I got an alarming call from my brother that staff and correctional officers are harassing him

1. denying his calls out or rerouting them to be canceled especially when any mention of money is surveilled or muting him mid-conversation

2. are refusing to release the money sent to be put on his books by family and friends to buy necessities like soap and food from commissary

3. denying his requests for medical care for 3 separate issues

this is systemic abuse & we must get him home!

Anonymous asked:

Do you or any of your friends have cash apps/Venmo/PayPal/koffi or any other way for mutual aid? If money would be helpful in this situation, that is. If you have/make a post I’d love to reblog or donate myself. Wish you well ❤️

i can ask them right now! it’ll definitely be more helpful later on as we start to rebuild but right now it’s just like… unless you evacuated and you need hotel money, what would you spend the money on, if that makes sense? if all the amenities are out, there’s nothing to buy in the first place :(

i appreciate you reaching out though, like seriously. i’ll go ask my friends what their info is and share it on @bfpnola later on today!

Mental Health has me in the dumps

Hey everyone,

It’s me again, and due to the kindness of the internet, I do not need help making rent this month, but I do need help with some other things. So, because I suffer from bipolar and ADHD, it’s tough finding meds that work. Adderall made my manic episodes  so horrible to the point where I had to go to uni. So I went two weeks without pay (shit is trash). Anyway, I need help with other bills because I have about $12 to my name right now.

$100 for groceries and gas until the 8th

$129 for electricity

$14 for gas bill

$187.6 (biweekly payments I owe my school to go back in the spring semester) for a total of $430 (I hate my life right now so so much) Paypal: paypal.me/charliechains02 Cash App: $lizchains03 0/430

150/430
280 left!
Paypal: paypal.me/charliechains02 Cash App: $lizchains03
Still at 150/430 280 left!
Donations have slowed down a bit (haven’t received anything since Sunday)  please keep boosting if you can some of the these are due by latest on the second
