Things I Care About

Causes Local to Me

Montana Wetlands and Waterfowl

  Wetland ecosystems are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. They support native plants and animals, and provide services such as flood control and water purification. Unfortunately, wetlands are also some of the most threatened ecosystems. Born from a love of Montana's natural spaces, Montana Wetlands and Waterfowl seeks to bring much needed attention to these vital systems.

Blackfeet County and Climate Change

 "We are planning ahead via the support of our tribal council, various tribal departments, and increasingly enaging young people. By this method, we are sharing information about how we can prepare as the climate changes. We are not alone in our efforts, and find inspiration from adaptation efforts by indigenous people around the world."

Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes

 "The Flathead Indian Reservation is home to three tribes, the Bitterroot Salish, Upper Pend d’Oreille, and the Kootenai. The territories of these three tribes covered all of western Montana and extended into parts of Idaho, British Columbia and Wyoming. The Hellgate Treaty of 1855 established the Flathead Reservation, but over half a million acres passed out of Tribal ownership during land allotment that began in 1904."

American Causes

Immigration Justice

"All individuals in the United States have rights, regardless of immigration status. Know your rights."

Public Broadcasting Service

"Cascade PBS helps your community explore new worlds and ideas through programs that educate, inform and inspire. Your tax-deductible donation helps make it all possible."

International Causes

Amnesty International

"Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 10 million people who are committed to creating a future where human rights are enjoyed by everyone. United by our shared humanity, we know that the power to create positive change is within all of us. We are funded by members and people like you. We are independent of any political ideology, economic interest or religion. We stand with victims of human rights violations whoever they are, wherever they are."

Palestinian Fundraisers

"This list was researched and created by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi on tumblr. It is not comprehensive and is regularly updated. The amounts donated are automatically updated to the latest on the fundraiser page. Rows without amounts either indicate an error with the website or a complete fundraiser. Please check the links on the rightmost side to get updated info. The particularities columns do not and cannot sum up everything these families have undergone, as each has uniquely heartbreaking details.. Please consider it a best practice to read in their own words what each family has gone through and is still going through by clicking through the GoFundMe links and reading the fundraiser descriptions."
