Faced with the tragedy of the damage caused by the DANA in the Valencian Country, many **solidarity and grassroots initiatives** are being organised, both to pitch in with work and to raise money.

**On the work side**, much of the grassroots solidarity is being channelled through the Network of Community Centres and Ateneus of the Catalan Countries, which has set up the website [***organitzemlaresposta.cat***](https://web.archive.org/web/20241203210911/https://organitzemlaresposta.cat/)*.*
**On the fundraising side**, various initiatives have been launched. From Emprius, we’ve done our bit through two of them: [**“Community fund for the DANA: a collective response for the Valencian Country”**](https://ca.goteo.org/project/fons-comunitari-per-la-dana-resposta-collectiva-pe) and [**“Cultivating solidarity”**](https://cerai.org/cultivemos-solidaridad/).

The first, driven by the social and solidarity economy sector (XES, XEAS PV, REAS and other organisations).

*“In response to the crisis caused by the DANA in the Valencian Country, the Social and Solidarity Economy mobilises. Sharing concerns and hopes with society, various co-operative, grassroots and community initiatives have organised themselves to face the emergency. These collectives have redirected their usual activities towards collecting essential materials such as cleaning products and food.”*

The second, driven by organisations in the agroecology sector (CERAI, Per l’Horta, Justicia Alimentaria, Fundació Assut…).

*“The DANA has severely damaged the fields of family farmers, with losses of machinery and harvests that will make it hard for them to recover without help after such a heavy blow. In many cases they have no insurance cover for their fields and have limited means of production.”*

We encourage everyone to contribute in whatever way they can, as much as they can.

Only the people can save the people!
