Flood Relief - Tumblr Posts
hi please consider sharing these two trusted mutual aid funds to help with disaster relief in the appalachians/the southeast U.S. after hurricane helene. Many towns in the appalachians have been wiped out entirely and/or have been landlocked by landslides with no power or cell signal, and are only reachable by air. all roads to Asheville are blocked or gone entirely. Chimney Rock had much of it destroyed. Many places in the southeast other than the Carolina mountains, especially Florida, are facing much the same. it will take a long time to rebuild, especially the roads, but for now please considering sharing or donating to help people in need who are trapped or lost their homes and loved ones.

This isn’t gonna be an educated take or anything it’s just me bitching, but as someone from NC who has lived here my entire life and has personally witnessed my neighbors beg the government to update our old as fuck infrastructure with no acknowledgment or action in return, the fact that millions-billions are being sent to fuel genocide and personally jack off millionaires makes me sick.
My city lost power and luckily avoided the flooding, but there are entire towns like Asheville and Waynesville that are completely underwater. Or beautiful places like Chimney Rock that are gone. Washed away. Dams fit to burst and roads swept into the trees. Meanwhile this dumbass government focuses on all the wrong things and turns blind eyes to anything involving climate change. The southern east coast is already notoriously historically neglected and this is really a textbook example of that.
I guess my point is: vote at your local levels + donate where you can. I’ll add a link below to a page with several good donation sites.
If you want to add more information or links to this post feel free, I just wanted to get my thoughts out on this
With the death of a colonizer, please take a moment to donate to flood relief in Pakistan:
Muslim Aid
The Sughar Foundation
Poor Friends
Or donate to help build a free girl's school in Balochistan.
