Keep sharing. Not a single thing has come in today for this family since. They got so close. Please help them if you’re able to.
Another $20 or so came in. I’ll keep updating after every 100. Keep sharing they have until tomorrow. They can’t lose out on this place. They aren’t in a safe spot right now and are facing harassment. This is urgent. They don’t have far to go to get to their own safe place.
This just hit 500/800. Only 300USD remaining. Please make a donation if you’re able to. They have until Friday. Anything helps this Native family get into a new place.

It unfathomable that news media just continues to repeat the lies of the administration and present this as a dispute when not only we can see with our own eyes but also they’ve done nothing but lie—as proven in courts of law!—about these incidents.

November 2026 is shaping up to be a gutting loss for the GOP, there's virtually no evidence of any other possible outcome, and they obviously know the calls for accountable, reprisal, and imprisonment will only grow more intense.
The rest of the year will be a dead sprint to prevent that.
