Causes I Care About

I donate monthly to most of the charities below and I give when I can to the others. Sometimes we raise money from a tattoo event where we donate all of the proceeds for the day. Other times it is a percentage of my income or showing up for mutual aid work in person. The real work of life happens offline, but I want to have some transparency for where I stand on these issues.
