It’s Giving Tuesday
2017 has been an exceptionally tough year. There have been national tragedies and natural disasters, awful policies put in place and great policies threatened.
What so many of you have done in response was give. You’ve donated money, time, and resources. You’ve marched and you’ve protested. You used what you have to try and protect and give to those who have less.
If you can, try and do a little bit of that day today. Make the word just a little bit better on this Giving Tuesday. Here are just a few exceptional places to which you can donate:
- Food Bank for New York City (@foodbank4nyc) helps out 1.5 million New Yorkers who rely on them. Every dollar you donate provides five meals.
- Planned Parenthood (@plannedparenthood) provides affordable healthcare for those who need it most. Under Trump’s administration, they’ve found themselves in need of support like never before.
- National Alliance on Mental Illness (@namims-blog) is the United State’s largest grassroots mental health organization. With your donation, they can continue providing quality education, advocation, and care.
- The Transgender Freedom Project (@transgenderfreedomproject) works to build public support for transgender-inclusive nondiscrimination protections. Your donation helps ensure they will have the funds to continue making strides in policy and education.
Can’t donate money? Try volunteering your time. Ask your employer if they offer paid time off to volunteer at a charity. Start a donation drive in your at your school. Coats, socks, mittens, toys, and so much more can make a positive impact in your local community.
Have a nice day, Tumblr 💙
