This is not something I imagine happening immediately but I wanted to put it out there. I wanted to suggest the following organization for potential BHAID funding or fundraising: Campaign for Uyghurs (https://campaignforuyghurs.org)

Unfortunately, the campaign against Uyghurs by the People's Republic of China is ongoing and the response from the international community has been, to put it charitably, insufficient.

As detailed in this article: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2022/9/14/23351153/china-uyghur-muslim-genocide-xinjiang-united-nations

QuoteThe Campaign for Uyghurs, are helping Uyghur youth in major population centers like Turkey. Many of these young people were relying on their parents' help to pay for schooling or housing, but with so many parents in internment camps, it's hard to make ends meet.

"While we might not be able to change what Beijing does," Grose said, "there's still a way of helping Uyghurs in very meaningful, immediate ways."

I know there will never NOT be an emergency in need of response but if there is any doubt on potentially donating to the Campaign for Uyghurs then we might consider emergency aid/relief to the victims of the Michoacan earthquake. There was a 7.7M earthquake yesterday  on the pacific coast of Mexico which has led to a loss of life and property.
