Tzedek Collective advocates for mutual aid, to help people in need directly, without losing money to administration fees and inflated NGO CEO salaries. At this time, Tzedek Collective is focusing on First Nations and Palestinian solidarity.
For First Nations solidarity, we direct you to mutual aid funds run by Mob, such as First Nations Aid (BSB 082296 | ACC 348698219) or Mob Strong: ANY NAME | BSB: 063097 | ACC: 49558992 | REF: MOB STRONG FUND).
For Palestinian people in Gaza, the struggle for self-determination manifests differently, with numerous financial roadblocks (as described in our webinar on the subject). Some Tzedek Collective members are part of a collective that supports families in Gaza. Each month, the proceeds from a PayPal fundraiser are shared equally between the families.

Where circumstances allow, we recommend setting up recurring payments according to your means, or setting reminders to donate. No amount is too small, and together we can make a difference. Donating time and skills instead of (or as well as) money, such as by spreading the word by sharing with others or creating resources, are also immensely helpful.
