Hi all. I’ve connected with many amazing people and organizations supporting freelancers and independent workers. I want to make sure that these tools and resources are available to everyone, so I’m compiling them here into a comprehensive list that I’ll keep updating regularly and link in the monthly rundown.
I’m sure I’m missing many, so if you have any to add, please share in the comments, and I’ll get them in.
Enjoy!
