The "Spaceship Dreaming" blog has become the go-to resource for aggregating information, actions, campaigns, etc. dedicated to supporting Mike Brown’s family and the Ferguson community.
Among the efforts listed are: the Michael Brown Memorial Fund, the Bail and Legal Fund for Those Arrested During Ferguson Anti-Police Demonstrations, the Dream Defenders’ teespring store, Operation Help Or Hush, and Feed the Students of Ferguson — an effort to help those children who rely on meals provided in school while the school year is indefinitely delayed.
You can also donate directly to the St. Stephen’s Food Pantry, donate items through the St. Louis Urban League and sign the petitions demanding federal protections from police violence and misconduct as well as the removal of St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch from the Mike Brown investigation.
