In response to the nut job (or con man) who started a GoFundMe to raise money to build Individual-1’s useless wall (or put up steel slats), Charlotte Clymer (@cmclymer), inspired by an idea put out there by @hoarsewhisperer on Twitter, started a GoFundMe to raise money for ladders to get over the wall.
From the GoFundMe page:
“Should we not reach our goal--or should they (ahem) not reach theirs--all funds raised will go to the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) , a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that promotes justice by providing free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant children, families, and refugees.
Walls are not the only barriers to a better life in the U.S. RAICES helps folks get over some of those other “walls.”
A fun idea that has, at the time of the writing of this diary, raised over $15,000. I gave a little last night. It felt good.
