The Crowdfunding List is one of my more recent Twitter Lists, whose intent, initially, was to list the Twitter accounts of the various online crowdfunding websites and apps, which grew out of the Online Fundraising Tools page I created for the American Library Association Professional Tips Wiki of the ALA Library as well as a list of resources tagged “onlinefundraising” over at Pinboard which was previously on Delicious. Quite quickly, I started adding the Twitter accounts connected to individual short-term and long-term fundraising projects–like @LittleMissFlint, ten-years-old as of this writing (but turning 11 in 2018!), tirelessly determined to regularly raise the monies needed to purchase bottled water for the entire population of Flint, Michigan, as the water coming through its pipes is poisonous, has had dangerous lead levels since April 24, 2014, and has already wrought permanent damage upon the health of its residents, including its children (though it took a fight by a Flint pediatrician for this to be acknowledged). Also included are many of the groups that are in The Struggle Continues Twitter List, described below, as these groups run on donations–especially the community bond funds set up in cities across the USA that provide relief for those in jail strictly due to being unable to afford bail.

The Struggle Continues List is another one of my Twitter Lists, whose initial name was Don’t Boo, Vote!, which was something President Barack Obama had said in a speech in order to encourage American citizens to register to vote and vote in elections, and was a list of the Twitter accounts of organizations that were likewise promoting voting and providing information on the candidates and polling places for the 2016 Presidential Election. After the election, the list grew and evolved into a list of the Twitter accounts of the organizations that are vital and important to helping American citizens fight what was unleashed as a result of the 2016 Presidential Election; namely, a Racist Bigoted Misogynist Clown, a White Nationalist President, whose lack of knowledge of basic American government and history, an unfamiliarity with treating his fellow American citizens who aren’t rich and white and male with respect, a willing unwillingness to declare or in any way recognize himself as being the duly elected (although this fact is in high doubt) leader of the Americans who did not vote for him (probably because the majority of Americans did not vote for him), and the lack of a heart, courage, or a soul, is unmistakably a feature, not a bug. I then changed the name of the list to The Struggle Continues, which, again, is not a phrase of mine, but is the phrase always used as part of the signature of Professor William M. Harris Sr. on his daughter Melissa’s birthday cards. The most popular tweets end up displayed on my The Struggle Continues @twttimes newspaper at http://tweetedtimes.com/v/13446.
