Anita Bernstein, a legal scholar at Brooklyn Law School (and regular reader of this blog), writes:
As you know, there’s tons of info online about how to donate food and other supplies to support the protest. I e-mailed a WI colleague to ask what he’d recommend. He said he could personally vouch for Ian’s Pizza, but they seemed kind of overwhelmed as of a week ago.
So I looked around myself and settled on the Willy Street Co-Op. Very easy to call with a credit card and make a donation. They were happy to hear from me and record the gift. I see they’ve systematized their donations now; my call last Tuesday must have been at the beginning of a wave. For donors, I think this store is the way to go, for now. They can modify what they deliver in response to needs. My WI contact says they’re a fine grassroots business. I mention my experience in case you or your readers are interested in sending some money that way.
