“If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.”
-The Dalai Lama
I can’t suggest a meditation more apt than this right now, given the events in the United States over the past week. How can you help people? Can you donate to organizations once, a few times, or monthly? Can you volunteer for organizations? Can you commit to becoming an activist?
We can all do something. There is no room for laziness anymore. We have people to save.
If volunteering isn’t for you, here is a small list of the organizations to whom you can donate:
- Everytown for Gun Safety
- Moms Demand Action
- Sandy Hook Promise
- The Trevor Project
- The Human Rights Campaign
- The Point Foundation
- The National Center for Transgender Equality Donate
- The United Negro College Fund
- The Trayvon Martin Foundation
- The Audre Lord Project
- Common Ground Foundation
- Latino Victory Fund
- National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice
- UnidosUS
- United We Dream
- Stop AAIP Hate
- The National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum
- The Coalition for Asian American Children and Families
- Native American Rights Fund
- Woman Warrior Project
- First Nations Development Institute
- Planned Parenthood
- Access Reproductive Care–Southeast
- Center for Reproductive Rights
- The Afiya Center
- Indigenous Women Rising
