Resistance Frequencies: Donations List

Make every penny count

We fought the Nazis, too, we 'good' Germans; verges' uns nei. Forget us never...The first human beings to fight to the death, to kill and be killed by the Nazis were -
Germans.” Philip K. Dick

Teddy Wilson, who is a journalist, researcher and a consultant is absolutely correct when he writes that: “all of the wealthy liberals and progressive foundations that will soon be panic donating to the "resistance" — below are nonprofit organizations that monitor, research, and produce in-depth analysis on the far right, violent extremists, and authoritarian movements.”

Teddy is absolutely right, if you are planning on on donating to help think of these truly important organizations. I am essentially trying to boost Teddy’s message, but please feel free to add comments with other ideas and I’ll update this post:

• globalextremism was to founded “address the gap in efforts to stop transnational hate and far-right extremism movements, particularly U.S.-based activity that is exported to other countries and across borders."

• IREHR seeks to “continue examining racist, anti-Semitic, and far right social movements, analyzing their intersection with civil society and social policy, and to educate the public and assist in the protection and extension of human rights."

• CCDHate is an nonprofit organization "that seeks to disrupt the architecture of online hate and misinformation," and seek to "protect human rights and civil liberties online."

• ISDglobal provides research and analysis on “extremism in all its forms,” and seeks to “identify and track online manipulation, disinformation, hate and extremism in real time.”

• ACLEDINFO is a nonprofit organization that “collects information on the dates, actors, locations, fatalities, and types of all reported political violence and protest events around the world.”

• WStatesCenter is a nonprofit organization that works to “lifted up the voices of marginalized communities while providing accessible tools and support for grassroots organizing, civic engagement, and collective action."

• AtlanticCouncil's DFRLab works to operationalize the "study of disinformation by exposing falsehoods and fake news, documenting human rights abuses, and building digital resilience worldwide.”

• mmfa is a nonprofit organization "dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."

• EXPOSEDbyCMD is a project of the Center for Media and Democracy, which is a "watchdog that leads in-depth, award-winning investigations into the corruption that undermines our democracy, environment, and economic prosperity."

• PRAEyesRight publishes “investigative research and analysis on the U.S. Right to support social justice advocates and defend human rights.”

• twittlesis is a project of the Public Accountability Initiative, which is an opensource database and network mapping tool that seeks to provide “transparency to influential social networks."

• RightWingWatch is a project that publishes research and reporting on far right activists and groups to "exposes their strategies and tactics so we can understand the threat--and fight back."

In addition to several nonprofit organizations, there are independent journalists and researchers that publish research and reporting on the far right, violent extremists, and authoritarian movements. I am not going to link any now to not play favorites, but whoever is your favorite independent news/opinion source might be, please subscribe and support!
