Winter 2021-22 Auction for Immigration Bail Funds
Rules This year's auction will focus raising money for immigration bond funds, which post money to get people out of immigration detention, where they are often held in terrible conditions. A general list of immigration bond funds in the US can be found here and another from RAICES can be found here, although any immigration bond fund is acceptable and you are welcome to donate to one in your own country if such programs exist there.
1. Offering
SUBMIT your offering post to this blog! Include a link to this rules post in your own post, and also a minimum starting offer for your item, which can be a fic, art, or a physical item. It does NOT have to be connected to the Les Misérables fandom, although such items are always welcome! Any terms and conditions of your offer should also be included in the post, eg what fandoms you are wiling to write for, any hard no’s on content, etc. I will number each submission for reference and add #Winter2122. Offering is open as of NOW, December 18, 2021.
2. Bidding
Bidding will OPEN as of NOW, December 18, 2021. Bid only on posts for the current auction, which will be numbered and contain the note #Winter202122. Bidding will CLOSE on January 18th, 2022 on the midnight between January 18th and 19th, Eastern Time.
Bid in REPLIES NOT REBLOGS (this is important because replies enable me to track out who bid when). The highest bidder at that time will be the winner. Bidding can start as each item is posted.
3. Claiming or delivering your item
If you have won an item, I will contact you directly after January 18th and ask you to provide a receipt or other verification for a donation to an immigration bond fund in the amount bid. Send such verification to [email protected] or in a screenshot on Tumblr. AFTER I have verified that, I will contact the offerer to let them know they can deliver the item. All items should be delivered by May 18th, 2022 unless you have made other arrangements, eg the item/fic will take longer than that to create or write and that is specified in the post. Thanks all for your participation and let’s get started!
