How this version of the website works
The contact form prepares an email in your device’s email app. The form does not submit your message to a website database; you review and send the email yourself. You can also copy the message and email it directly.
Donations are completed on Zeffy or the relevant campaign website. Those providers handle payment information under their own policies. Facebook, news coverage, and other external links take you to third-party websites. This site loads fonts from Google Fonts.
