Call For Comic Creators To Help Refugees At ECCC, From "We Can Never Go Home" Writer Matthew Rosenberg

Can we reconcile our condemnation of the current administration and its racism and xenophobia with a willingness to travel there?

Help fund those fighting. They need it. @ARCrelief, @theCCR, @theIRC, @ACLU.

I don't know what we're doing yet, but we're going to have some kind of charity thing at @emeraldcitycon to raise $ for refugees.

I don't want to be crass, but I sort of need to know what people would want to see and how much that would be worth to them.

Myself, @BoyCartoonist, & @joshuahood will all be at @emeraldcitycon. Is there WE CAN NEVER GO HOME or 4 KIDS stuff you'd donate for?

Last year with all of your help I raised around $8,000 for charities by selling my dumb books. Really hope to clobber that number this year.

If there is rare or hard to find stuff of mine you'd be willing to donate for at @emeraldcitycon let me know. If I've got it, it's yours.

Comic pros- please consider doing charity fundraising at cons. Many fans want to support causes but aren't sure how. Make it easy for them.

Ask your fans if there is stuff they'd like to see/get from you? You know you have stuff gathering dust in your house.

— Matthew Rosenberg (@AshcanPress) January 28, 2017

Offer something small and personal that won't cost you anything. Don't fleece anyone, but help them donate and reward them. It's so easy.

If I could raise $8k last year, and I'm a moron, you can do more. Trust me. Fans will appreciate it.

— Matthew Rosenberg (@AshcanPress) January 28, 2017

I know all of you. Your houses are full of dumb bullshit you will never touch again. Give it to a fan who'll love it and help someone too.

— Matthew Rosenberg (@AshcanPress) January 28, 2017

I'm not going to tell you how to run your shit but please keep in mind our world doesn't stop & start at the con doors, neither do our fans.

— Matthew Rosenberg (@AshcanPress) January 28, 2017

You're going to be hanging out in cities that aren't yours. Talking to people whose lives are impacted by very real issues. Give back.

— Matthew Rosenberg (@AshcanPress) January 28, 2017

Fans travel a long way to see us & talk to us. They buy our stuff. Show that you care about their communities & lives, not just their cash.

— Matthew Rosenberg (@AshcanPress) January 28, 2017

I love my peers. Comic creators for the most part are truly kind caring people. I know so many fans are too. We can channel that better.

— Matthew Rosenberg (@AshcanPress) January 28, 2017

Alright. I'm done yelling at you. Gotta go write comics. Go do something nice for yourself or others. Put some good into the world. BYEEEEE! pic.twitter.com/BmVbNjSAYR
