Sometimes crying helps. Sometimes you need more than that. The Care Corner exists for those moments. These are community resources we believe in…places to turn when things feel heavy, messy, or just hard. Take what you need. Come back when you need it again.
Southern Solidarity is a grassroots, community-based group of volunteers in solidarity with the unhoused in their quest toward liberation. We organize the delivery of food, medical resources and basic needs directly to the unhoused in the downtown area of New Orleans and New York. We are influenced by anti-imperialist principles and mobilized by black queer members who adhere to Black radical feminism.
We organize the weekly delivery of food, medical resources, and other basic needs directly to hundreds of unhoused people in the downtown area of New Orleans and the Downton area of New York. Southern Solidarity is involved in both direct relief and consciousness raising efforts of members and recipients in our collective struggle for liberation. Some members are undocumented, formerly incarcerated, unhoused, trans, activists but more importantly, all among us are anti-imperialist.
Trystereo is an all-volunteer harm reduction collective based in New Orleans, Louisiana. We were founded in 2011 to affirm the dignity of people who use drugs and to address limited resources in our community. We operate on the principles of harm reduction to offer material, educational, and advocacy support to people who use drugs and their communities in southeastern Louisiana.
At Trystereo, we work to ensure that people who use drugs can do so safely, and can feel empowered to learn more about preventing injury and transmissible disease. We recognize that intersecting systems of oppression exacerbate the harms caused by the war on drugs, and are working towards a destigmatized and decriminalized landscape with a safe drug supply in our lifetimes.
Trans Income Project is a nonprofit combines organizing with practical support for transgender folk in Louisiana, recognizing the intersecting challenges they face. TIP provides wrap-around practical support to combat the discrimination we face on a daily basis. These elements create a holistic approach to supporting and promoting resilience, dignity, and agency within the transgender community.
We were formed to provide practical support for trans people in Louisiana since many of the other organizations focus on state-level policy issues and less on day-to-day life. Moreover, the shift in political climate and the increasing number of codified laws criminalizing every aspect of trans life demanded we look away from policy and toward basic bread-and-butter solutions. So, we provide cash assistance and community support groups, partner on public health interventions, and promote city-level policy that will directly better the lives of trans folk here.
The Louisiana Abortion Fund (formerly the New Orleans Abortion Fund) is a community fund that assists our neighbors in overcoming the economic and geographic barriers erected to prevent them from accessing abortion care. By providing low-barrier financial support for abortions and support for travel and childcare, we are investing in our community’s liberation. We work to center Black people, Indigenous communities, people of color, queer folks, and immigrants, because we know that when the most marginalized among us are free, we will all be free.
LAAF provides direct funding in the form of pledges sent to clinics in states where abortion is legal as well as practical support and connection to outside resources to assist our callers in accessing that care.
Workers Voice: we are workers, employed and unemployed, youth, students, and seniors. We are multi-racial and multi-national and organize for the unity of the working class. We are funded by and for workers, for the liberation of all workers and oppressed people.
We organize for jobs and higher wages, against racism, women’s, and LGBTQ oppression, and for solidarity with immigrants. We organize for community schools, lower rents, and food on our tables. We organize for workers’ power so that everything will one day be removed from the capitalists’ private ownership.

ReJAC is building a world in which people have free access to accurate health information and resources, and have the power to address community issues that are important to them as they arise.
As a result, our vision is for the health and care of BIPOC, trans, and gender expansive* people are prioritized and all people are able to access reproductive health care without judgment and with dignity.
*Gender expansive is our preferred language for “non-binary” or “gender nonconforming” because it uplifts who we are (vs who we are not) and decenters the gender binary.
