TOGETHER FOR HER
As the global spread of COVID-19 has forced people indoors, life has become even more dangerous for women and children experiencing domestic violence, especially for those who are most marginalized. The quarantine environment causes increased stress levels, which exacerbate tensions, paired with the unprecedented levels of financial insecurity and unemployment, to increase the likelihood of intimate partner violence (IPV). Together for Her is a partnership between the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, CARE and EIF to provide funds to keep women and children safe. Your donation will help fund accommodation/shelter, case management, psycho-social support and counseling, helplines, crisis intervention, legal services, and additional support mechanisms for women and children experiencing domestic violence, inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS CAMP COVID-19 RELIEF FUND
Hundreds of years of structural racism is making Black and Brown communities more vulnerable to the coronavirus. Black and Brown people are more likely to be infected, less likely to be tested, less likely to be treated, and more likely to die from COVID-19. Know Your Rights Camp COVID-19 Relief Fund was established by Colin Kaepernick to address this disparity and support Black and Brown communities with food, shelter, education, PPE, and support for criminalized and incarcerated populations.

CHERCARES PANDEMIC RESOURCE AND RESPONSE FUND
The CherCares Pandemic Resource and Response Fund strives to ensure that medical staff and people exposed to COVID-19 have the supplies and support they need. The fund was established to help communities struggling with poverty and other adversities long before COVID-19 appeared. The fund serves the most needy children and families in America. Donations thus far have been directed to federally qualified health centers in California’s Central Valley to provide N95 masks for migrant farm workers, PPE for rural communities in the Mississippi Delta, and COVID-19 diagnostic tests as well as PPE for a low income communities in Arkansas. Your gift will help people in rural and urban communities who have minimal access to physical protection and medical care.
