Charities to help the people Trump will hurt

For those able to do so, donating or fundraising for charities seems like a good idea, especially with the holidays coming up. For USAmericans, this has the dual function of denying your tax $$ to the incoming government and helping the people that government wishes to harm. I thought it might be nice to crowdsource a thread of charities which do useful work for the communities under threat. Below are a few to start us off:

RAICES - Texas-based group helping immigrants and refugees United We Dream - working for immigrant youth Trans Lifeline - phone hotline, microgrants and legal help for trans folk The Trevor Project - helping LGBTQ+ youth NAACP legal defense fund - among other things, very useful for arrested racial justice protesters Southern Poverty Law Center - social, racial and economic justice National Network of Abortion Funds A couple of election integrity charities, since that will be crucial in the near future: Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law - civil rights, election integrity, voting rights VoteRiders - Election integrity, voting rights But that's just a few! Please post the orgs you know of doing good and useful work.

Drug manufacturing must be brought to UK, NHS bosses and charities tell MPs

Coronavirus crisis reveals weakness in supply chain as medicines in export ban rise from 29 to 196 this year

NHS leaders and medical charities are calling for ministers to bring more drug manufacturing to the UK to reduce the risk of future shortages after the problems seen during the coronavirus crisis.

In addition to the well documented shortages of personal protective equipment, dealing with Covid-19 has placed huge strain on supplies of intensive care medicine, over-the-counter drugs and oxygen. The NHS has been forced to put new rationing measures in place to ensure hospitals do not run out.
