How to support Jamaica, Haiti & DR after Hurricane Melissa.
Send direct, zero-barrier cash aid to Jamaica’s LGBTQ+ community
Trans and queer Jamaicans are among the most vulnerable people devastated by Hurricane Melissa — many have lost their homes, safety, and access to basic necessities.
We’re mobilizing to send direct, zero-barrier cash aid straight to those most impacted — organized by queer Jamaicans, for queer Jamaicans, in collaboration with @connekja, @sapphicja , @ragganyc , @blacktranstravelfund , @papijuicebk , @weoutandbad , @thankgodforabortion.
