Indivisibles,

Thanks to the inaction of Senate Republicans, much of the financial
assistance and protections included in early COVID-19 response packages
has expired in the last week. And now, at the beginning of the month,
millions of people across the country are struggling to pay the rent and
bills that will keep them and their families safe for the next few weeks.

We know it didn’t have to be this way, and we’re hard at work pushing for
strong continued aid from the government. But in the meantime, people need
help.

We started the IndiGIVEable program because we know there are tons of
worthy causes out there that deserve funding, and they’re not always in
our wheelhouse. We have a responsibility to use our platform to drive
resources where they need to go -- so today we’re asking you to support
efforts nationwide providing rental assistance, eviction protection, and
services to keep people afloat at this critical moment.

Below, we’ve collected a few groups around the country who are working to
provide assistance to those in need. This is by no means a comprehensive
list, and we encourage you to seek out efforts in the communities you care
about. If you’re able to donate, please do -- and if you’re in need of
assistance yourself, these organizations are a great place to start:

For more ways to get involved, feel free to reach out to [ [link removed]- ]your local
Indivisible group to find out about how they’re responding to the COVID-19
crisis.

In a better world, we wouldn’t have to shoulder this burden for one
another, because people would have the public services and the resources
they need to survive and thrive. We’re still working for that world. But
where we can, we have to care for one another. Thanks for caring -- in
whatever way you can.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
