We've built something that we feel will truly help and it's live now: https://t.co/n1RAxE4fbj @ragedonate 🙌🏽

Users click a red button that reads "Rage Donate" to give a $10 donation to a nonprofit. The button resides next to a Trump quote that's relevant to whomever that organization is representing.
For example, Trump's quote, "I think Islam hates us" is next to an option to send funds to the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.

He and a handful of others from Brooklyn and San Francisco, "a collective of concerned and angry creative and technical folk across the USA," created Rage Donate to "#RageAgainstHate."
They're all working as volunteers, Carlson said, and the website doesn't take fees from the money that's donated.
As a person of color, Carlson said he feels personally affected by the "hateful rhetoric" that's come with Trump's election, seen in a litany of discriminatory attacks since his win. He's also been worried about a possible roll-back on some civil rights gains.
On Sunday, Trump told CBS's 60 Minutes that a repeal of Roe v. Wade is still on the table, which would make 43 years of a constitutional right to an abortion a thing of the past.
"We've made a lot of progress," Carlson told Mashable, about the country's direction. "We're just worried about a lot of these things being repealed."
Stressed and frustrated by Trump's win, he and some colleagues were looking for a way to help populations they felt are endangered or whose individual rights are threatened by a Trump presidency.
"We've licked our wounds and now it's time to get out there and do something to make a positive impact."
It started with a few Facebook messages last week. Since then, they've been on a "marathon sprint" to design the site, promoting it and vetting its partnering nonprofits, primarily through Rage Donate members who have worked with these groups in the past, according to Carlson.
The hope is some real change could come from people's post-election rage, Carlson said.
"We've licked our wounds and now it's time to get out there and do something to make a positive impact," he told Mashable.
Stripe, the back-end processing company that Rage Donate uses, will be waiving its processing fee for the first $15,000 donated to nonprofit organizations listed on the website that aren’t already Stripe users.
So far, the organizations receiving donations through Rage Donate include the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Arizona; Callisto, a tech-based group that works with sexual assault victims; Freedom of the Press Foundation; Define American, which advocates for immigrants' rights; and LIVE FREE, which works against the criminalization of people of color.
While the organization wouldn't reveal how many users had donated or how much money had been funneled to these organizations since it went live Monday morning, it did share that more than 3,000 users had visited the site.
“Trump got elected talking about crime ‘in the inner cities’ -- this subtle language has deep racial significance," Pastor Mike McBride, director at Live Free, said in a statement. "Our peacemaking and justice work is more important than ever as we ensure President Trump's policies don't result in more of our loved ones being locked up”.
Rage Donate is in the process of adding two more organizations: Border Angels, which advocates for human rights and immigration reform, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit that defends digital civil liberties.
