How much did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raise?
AOC raises nearly $5 million in Texas relief efforts. (CNN) Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had amassed $4.7 million in her fundraising efforts to help Texans hard hit by last week's winter storm as of Sunday evening, her press secretary Ivet Contreras confirmed to CNN.
What is Ocasio Cortez using to raise money?
To raise money, Ocasio-Cortez is using Act Blue, a Democratic fundraising tool, that helps her build an email listserv as she receives donations. On Friday, the congresswoman said she would fly to Houston to join Democratic Texas Rep. Sylvia Garcia to distribute supplies.
Donate to local mutual-aid efforts
One of the most effective ways to help is to donate to mutual-aid networks, which are working overtime to support their respective communities in any way possible: delivering essential items like food and medicine, coordinating transportation for those in need, and raising awareness of the dire situation on the ground.
Donate to food banks
Like everything else, the state’s food supply chain was disrupted by the storm, and many across the state — especially the unhoused population — don’t have access to food.
If you can provide on-the-ground support: volunteer at a warming center, lend transportation, and more
Amid frigid conditions and windchill temperatures that dip below zero degrees overnight, cities across the state have opened emergency warming shelters in churches, gyms, and furniture stores, where the unhoused and those without adequate shelter can rest.
