Hey, I'm going to ask your help in raising an achievable amount of money to help an organization (the head of which I have known since the age of 8) stay open. They assist immigrant survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault. It's called ASISTA, and they need money urgently: shorturl.at/O12lB - ThreadSky

ASISTA helps the people who don't know if they can go to the emergency room if they are assaulted. They don't know if they can call 911 if they are in danger. They are THE EXACT PEOPLE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL PUT IN DANGER. And ASISTA is very much in the crosshairs.

Any amount you donate here will REALLY, REALLY help. I mean truly, every buck helps. I am trying to raise $20,000, which will be matched by a donor. $40k will go a long way. (More would be fantastic, obviously.) This money will help keep the lights on.

So if you are sitting there thinking "what can I do?" This will do something. Any amount will do something. Sharing the link will do something. Thank you in advance. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.

As a retired Legal Aid Lawyer. I agree, Assista is an amazing organization. They not only support individuals, but train lawyers and advocates around the country to represent and advise immigrants.

I can't use my card to donate because I'm in the UK - do they have PayPal or anything similar?
