So probably the first thing I was thinking and I would love to get feedback from others on this is to create a Mutual Aid Fund and an Email account for taking requests for help. That way we could be constantly collecting money and then as people send in requests we could send out money for anything they need help with. Has anybody here had experience with that, know of a good service to use for this? I guess cashapp/venmo maybe at least as long as amounts don’t go too high. If there is something better I could explore, I’d like to do so though.

    I dont really have experience with anything but cash and venmo and action network. It is basically the same because action network you just hook to a bank account.

    A commercial processor may be tempted to seize your money. I know people who had really bad experience with that so the only collective funds i ever organized was 100% cash only.

    There’s a lot of dedicated support networks such as Anarchist Black Cross sections to support anarchist prisoners. I’m not sure how useful a big centralized one would be? Also if it’s centralized and starts being useful surely it’ll be seized…
