@atomicpoet we hope so. We have asked the board to give us time to find more major donors, and the 100k would go a long way in making the case by covering a lot or all of payroll while we mobilize those efforts, and buy staff a little more time in general. If the board still says no, the money will go directly to the laid off staff. Just wanted to add a little more detail to the thread. Thanks so much for the support!
@TexasObserver Putting this out there as well. @reiver and I are exploring ways to integrate crowdfunding directly into the Fediverse. We hope this could help organizations like yours build an active donor base.
Of course, this is preliminary—I hope you live another day.
