Help Get My GF Out Of Brazil

As I turn to the internet once more, it is not necessarily for me. Some of you may know but Brazil just elected far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro as their new president, someone worse than Donald Trump. A quick Google search will show what is in store for this country. My long time best friend and girlfriend is terrified of what is to come and is in a student government position (which is a big deal at her university) that has already been threatened with images of human torture and death threats. We are working on getting her to move here but the biggest problem we face are funds. One Brazilian Real is the equivalent of US $0.25. Our biggest need is help getting her here and and support her here while she is unable to work due to her Visa (which only lasts 90 days) while we figure out the best route to keep her safe and out of danger. No donation is too small in this potentially life or death situation. If you’re able, please donate, and if not, share! The amount chosen is a rough estimate and may change over time but any and all proceeds will go 100% to this situation. ❤️

Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin who has recently relocated to northern Minnesota to be closer to my children and have better access to healthcare. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and I am still having to help cover the utility bills back home on the reservation for my father who is also disabled.

I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.

In 1921 a mob of white vigilantes and policemen looted the wealthiest black community in the US and burned it to the ground. 300 people killed, 10,000 made homeless. The National Guard imprisoned every black person in the area. There were no prosecutions. (via /r/BlackPeopleTwitter)
