Today, a significant portion of our Current Events Stream is focused on the devastation of Hurricane Ida, and, of course, how to help them. As usual, we’re discussing Current Events through a Leftist lens, discussing things that resonate or are drastically important to us. Today, much of the events we’ve been focused on since Saturday revolve around Hurricane Ida’s landfall.
Below the video, you can donate to the some Mutual Aid organizations to help the people of Louisiana weather the after-effects of this storm.
Cajun Navy Relief: https://www.cajunnavyrelief.com/ has a link right on their site to sign up for help OR to volunteer, as well as donate supplies or cash

Imagine Water Works: https://donorbox.org/ida I strongly recommend checking out their website at https://www.imaginewaterworks.org (ESPECIALLY if you’re in the area and need a Community Power Station [map shown below, interactive map at that site] to charge devices, or you need help in other forms!)
