Aid Referrals
The Solidarity Fund redistributes funds to people impacted by the police and prisons system in the counties of Santa Clara and San Mateo. This project is a collaboration between Redwood City Jail Support and Silicon Valley DSA, and it uses funds that were raised during the George Floyd protests.
The Solidarity Fund is no longer taking referrals for aid as of September 29th 2022. If you have already applied via online form or have called or texted we are working to reach out to you as soon as possible. If you need to get in contact with us to update your application or to ask questions please call or text 408-418-2155 with your information.
