Launch: June 8, 2024.
Completion: July 8, 2024.
Total raised: $100 USD.
This fundraiser was sparked by a public sharing from the chief of the Kuntanawa, who launched a GoFundMe to protect their home in the forest and the people living there, who were facing a foreign industry’s efforts to launch a large railroad project within the territory. The Kuntanawa used these funds for a formal land demarcation effort to assert their right to remain on the land.
While our contribution was modest, we also shared the GoFundMe directly with our community, and encouraged people to donate there directly.
