Summary

Hey HBs! It's time for our annual Patreon fundraiser! This year, because the need is so immediate, we're going to front a donation in anticipation of at least matching the amount we've raised in the past! This week, we're donating $1,000 to Razom Emergency Response, an organization with a proven track record in Ukraine who are providing medical supplies and training to civilians on the ground.

Ukraine is the most pressing emergency right now, but it's by no means the only refugee crisis. So, at the end of the month, we'll donate the balance of monies raised to World Central Kitchen, who provide meals on the sites of refugee, humanitarian, and climate crises worldwide.

Here are the details:

From March 1st - 31st, 2022 we are doubling and donating all new and increased Patreon pledges.

New Pledges get doubled. So if you sign up as a $5 patron, we donate $10. If you sign up as a $50 patron, we donate $100! If you sign up as an annual patron to get the 10% discount, we double the amount for the first month, without applying the discount.

Increased Pledges get doubled as if you're a new patron. So, if you increase from $15 to $20, we don't double the $5 increase, we double it as if you're a brand new patron. So an increase to $20 nets a $40 donation! Once again, if you increase that on an annual basis to get our 10% discount, we donate the first month's amount without applying the discount.

Here are more organizations to support Ukraine, compiled by Valarie Kaur.

And if you want to support gender-affirming treatment for trans kids in Texas, check out these non-profits, starting with the Transgender Education Network of Texas.

loss and other tactical medical items.

They also have qualified war medics, training civilians in life-saving measures.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is an acute crisis in this moment.
