No disaster is purely 'natural.' And all disasters are political.

A disaster's impact is societally uneven & compounds existing inequalities.

The must vulnerable are hit the hardest, yet they have the fewest resources for recovery.

Per: many scholars

The @AustinChronicle has a list of places providing direct assistance and seeking donations.

Another vulnerable population? The incarcerated. Recommended thread by @ScottHech with ways to donate. https://twitter.com/ScottHech/status/1361711472854921220

This has been an education in the many ways that the State of Texas must do better to help so many of its citizens.

There are also very cold asylum seekers across the border that need help. Take a look at Team Brownsville. They accept donations. https://www.teambrownsville.org/donate 

Folks at @ICNARelief are working to feed and assist many 100s (& growing) folks at the Dallas Convention Center.

Looks like they are closing on in on a fundraising goal. Good time to donate.
