We're at $96! Can we get to $180 by EOD?
With SNAP running out my partner and I are matching up to $180 in donations to our local food pantry and soup kitchen CHiPS. That’s a lot for us but it’s important right now. If you’re in a position to give please do what you can. If you donate just lmk how much. give.chipsonline.org/give/181349/...

Have you ever heard of "heat or eat"? It's what it's called when people have to choose -- groceries or paying their heating bills.
No SNAP means more people won't be able to afford energy either. If you've already donated, take one more step and call to support an emergency ban on utility shutoffs👇

Seeing a lot of anger over people in ICE detention having to eg file habeas claims on their own.
There are existing efforts to support these folks: not just full legal rep, but partial assistance (easier to scale).
Here’s one volunteer network (full disclosure: my org) immigrationjustice.us
