SHARE, SUPPORT, AMPLIFY: RAPID RESPONSE LIST
Resource Movement operates an opt-in email list, the Rapid Response Support List, which connects list recipients with time-sensitive asks for support from social justice organizers and members of marginalized communities. As of January 2021, the list has approximately 340 members and has moved $300,000 in support. Requests shared with the Rapid Response Support List members focus on addressing systemic change; centering the leadership of people impacted by the injustices they are fighting; and building power within marginalized communities. Get more info on what it is and how to contribute here.

My - or my family’s - access to wealth puts me in roughly the following percentile of the Canadian economy*:
*Lots of people who are in the top 20% or higher economically believe that we’re “middle class”, because we compare ourselves to people who have more than us. In answering this question, we encourage you to use these income percentile and wealth percentile calculators to find out where you and your family fit (and if that feels overwhelming, you can definitely just guess for now).
To be matched with a support buddy, would you rather be matched with someone who shares any of the following identities with you (check all that feel important, and make sure you shared your own info in the questions above for any boxes that you check - we can't guarantee a perfect match, but we'll do our best):
Age
Gender
Sexual orientation
