Popular Post mjensen415 Posted March 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2020 image-2-11200×628 117 KBAs shutdowns to contain the spread of COVID-19 take place across the U.S., independent workers face potential short-term and long-term economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Freelancers work without traditional protections such as paid sick leave and unemployment insurance, and are at a disproportionate risk of financial hardship. At the same time, they make up one-third of the U.S. workforce and contribute more than $1 trillion to the country’s GDP. While we work toward securing government aid, freelancers’ bills are due now. Rent, groceries, utilities — for those who live gig-to-gig, these necessities are at risk.The Freelancers Union is encouraging anyone who has the means to donate, especially freelance platforms and companies working with freelancers. The goal is to raise enough money to offer financial assistance of up to $1,000 per freelance household to cover lost income and essential expenses not covered by government relief programs. Any freelancer who is experiencing sudden hardship — illness, lost work, or caregiving responsibilities — as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is eligible to apply for aid through the Fund.We know this isn’t just affecting our community. It’s also impacting millions of freelancers who work on other platforms and operate offline. We want you to know we’re here to help, that’s why Fiverr and AND.CO are contributing to the Freelancers Relief Fund. 100% of the proceeds collected for the Freelancers Relief Fund will be distributed to freelancers in need. We wouldn’t be where we are today without our incredible community, and we’re here to offer support in any way we can during this difficult time.If you want to learn more about the fund or are interested in donating, please visit the Freelancers Relief Fund website. 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoinfinnegan Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Perks of being a First World Citizen 😦Freelancer’s Union was started by American freelancers who wanted a union to represent them and find solutions for issues they had. Nothing to stop freelancers in other countries from doing similar. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpfalcon Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Guys, We are like a big family. Please start a Relief Fund campaign for Non US based Freelancers as well. I’m not getting any orders from several days & my Fiverr account balance is really low right now.I’m a seller here for more than 6 years now. I’ve already contacted your team several times & I want some help immediately 😦Please check this: No sales at all, Maybe (COVID-19) is the reason? :(And this: Support request #4103524 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklegacy Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Here is my thought, Fiverr can try and reduce the pending clearance time to help sellers at this time. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I am sure that this is not an invitation to start begging money from fiverr or other sellers. That includes begging for better ranked gigs or anything else of a similar nature.That’s a nice looking website they have. People in other countries can start the same thing. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducktheunicorn Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Here is my thought, Fiverr can try and reduce the pending clearance time to help sellers at this time.I know another platform is working on that right now, but haven’t found a way to release funds in a more timely manner as of yet. I wonder if Fiverr might be working on a solution as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saz_accounting Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 People who are complaining that “why this is just for USA”, should come forward and work for their own “freelance associations”, Like:India FreelancePakistan Freelance networkBangladesh FreelancersWe all need such organisations. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
