As we come to terms with a health crisis that might mean long-term closures for New York City cinemas, we must meet the challenges ahead with mutual aid and solidarity. These closures have been necessary steps in the effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, but many hourly workers will be paying an immediate price for the well-being of our city.
With the assistance of Light Industry, Screen Slate, and other community partners, we have started a fund that can be accessed by cinema workers whose hours have been curtailed because of this crisis and who are not being otherwise compensated.
We’re focusing specifically on New York City movie theater employees so that we can provide quick, if modest, relief to those in our community, but encourage others to consider the needs of their own networks.
Many sex workers are seeing a dramatic decrease in clients and work as the panic surrounding the coronavirus increases. Major dips in the stock market because of the virus are also impacting workers around the world, and many are struggling to find work and stay afloat during this time.

Charity engaged in helping benefit the lives of those in poverty around the world
Social distancing and self-quarantine are effective in preventing COVID-19 infection, but for vulnerable people living in crowded multi-generational households, the home can be the most dangerous place to be.

National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) is securing financial support to preserve the national ecosystem of independent venues and promoters.
These entertainment hubs are critical to their local economies and tax bases as employers, tourism destinations, and revenue generators for neighboring businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and retail. Independent venues exist in every state across the country; they were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open. The economic recovery process will extend past just reopening the front doors, requiring solutions unique to the industry.
We seek to provide support for low-income, BIPOC, trans/GNC/NB/Queer artists and freelancers whose livelihoods are being effected by this pandemic in NYC. Whether it's from cancelled gigs, lost jobs, or a lack of business due to coronavirus scares, we hope to orchestrate an egalitarian approach to crowdsourcing.
Restaurant workers, gig worker and other hourly workers are facing unprecedented economic hardship from the coronavirus crisis. It's our turn to serve them.

We are distributing whatever funds we can to various charities, artists, staff and other members of our Bunker family who have the most need right now.
