3) Mutual aid 🤝
This goes beyond individual crowdfunders. Talk to people already doing this.
Ensure people in your community are not being left alone to struggle, and work on ways to get resources (not just money, also time) from those who have it to those who need it.

Work on getting people access to healthcare. Develop arrestee support networks.
