Caribbean Journalist Relief

This crowdfunding initiative was launched together with the Association of Caribbean MediaWorkers (ACM) to bring aid to journalists and other media workers in Caribbean countries affected by Hurricane Irma.

The ACM is focusing on Anguilla, Barbuda, BVI, Turks and Caicos and St Martin/Sint Maarten,

There are journalists on these islands who have lost everything during Irma. Their homes, cars, cameras, computers and so on are gone, but these people are out there already bringing updates and news to their communities. They’re doing what journalists do best in these situation, placing the story first. But of course, as we often also do, without thinking of themselves,

This initiative aims to  deliver relief to those in need. 

PLEASE HELP!

Help does not have to be monetary. ACM wants to help the affected journalists resume their work; in many cases these are freelancers who depend for their income on the equipment that they lost. To anyone who wants to donate equipment: it is welcome.
