A Twitch stream raising money for UK-based Transgender support charity Mermaids has already raised nearly $350,000 streaming Donkey Kong 64, and that number just keeps getting higher. On the stream, Ocasio-Ortez talked about how discrimination made it harder for trans people to achieve financial stability. Ocasio-Ortez is the first representative to appear on Twitch, but likely not the last. Hbomberguy has managed not only to raise nearly $350,000 for Mermaids, but also finish Donkey Kong 64 with 100% completion. The stream is currently on a hiatus, but it still shows 11 days to go.
