Dear
Comrades and Friends,
We are still
concerned about how some of the repressions related to the
pandemic, and the health risks of the pandemic itself, might be
affecting each of us and we want to reach out to check in with
the broader EYFA Network to see what needs there are in terms of
support that we could offer. In the meantime, until we figure
all that out, we propose this on-going, albeit temporary,
support structure.
What is
it?
CrisiFund is
EYFA's small support initiative for our comrades, friends,
network members. For groups that had to stop their actions due
to corona virus, but still have expenses. Or, because of the
crisis, started new activities or would like to do something and
need money to continue or kick it off.
For people,
who lost their jobs or other sources of money, who can't afford
the current way of living, who support other people in need, who
suffer from capitalism even more...
To take
advantage of our broad social network we wish to connect people
from different parts of europe in order to exchange whatever we
have - info and money, LOVE AND SOLIDARITY, poems and
slingshots. Against isolation, individualism, and borders.
Join
us!
- let us
know if you need financial support - no long explanation
required, just short info how much. it can be you, your group,
an initiative or somebody you know*.
* at this
point the budget we have is 3.000 euro. the
amount per group/person is 300 euro, mostly because we don't
want to have to choose, set arbitrary criteria, vote - if the
total amount is not enough we will offer each group/person less.
write us in the case that you really need more - maybe we can
find a solution.
- let us
know if you have money or other resources to share and how can
we help you to reach out to others in need.
- share with
us your fundraising and crowdfunding campaigns so we can spread
the word - via emails, on our website and twitter
- share any
materials produced in the pandemic time so we can all learn,
maybe you want people to translate it?
- let us
know if there are other needs that have come up in your
collectives/communities in terms of trainings/skills, online
infrastructure, communication tools, etc.
This is a
call-out we are sending now only to our wider newsletter list,
please keep in mind the limited funds while forwarding. If
anything changes you will be notified.
Apply for
CrisiFund round2 by the 25th of June by writing to
