Took a while to get in touch with my family but they& #39;re safe.

The coastal sites, where the earthquake hit hard is home to primarily Indigenous and AfroIndigenous kin. Those who are non-Spanish speakers and in rural areas (where aid is already minimal) are affected the most. https://twitter.com/diarioelfortin/status/1275457797598003200">https://twitter.com/diarioelf...

I am in contact with a few folks in the state. So far, none of them are affected or need immediate aid. If you are in contact with anyone who does, please reach out and I will begin crowdsourcing for immediate relief funds.

On the phone with my family, flashbacks of the 2017 earthquake that destroyed our homes are hitting hard. It& #39;s difficult to support from a country away but check in w/your kin. Check in w/your friends. Let them know that none of this has to make sense but let them know you know.

UPDATE: a Black trans sibling I am in community with has family in MX who was affected by the earthquake. House walls have too many cracks & they are not safe to stay inside. I have committed to crowdsource for them. Please send donations via Venmo or Cashapp at MigrantScribble.

All your donations mean so much. $532 have come in so far. I wanna see if we can crowdsource 1K for them and wire it today (I& #39;m on PST), and they can access the cash tomorrow or Thursday the latest.

Black folk in MX are amongst the least protected and this relief means a lot.

Also want to thank you for the retweets, those help tremendously.
