This is super effective mutual aid. They save lives.

Got snow in PDX today and this would be a great thing you could throw a couple of dollars at

It’s dangerously cold outside, and it’s only going to get worse tonight. We need to raise more funds to get people indoors and out of the freezing weather. Thank you to everyone who has supported so far—every donation and share makes a difference.

Right now it’s 30° but feels like 23° with the windchill

Huge thanks to our wonderful community who helped us help our neighbors get inside. Here is a promised update.

What is wrong with Multnomah County and the Mayor of Portland?

Happening now: Hospital staff and community members are currently protesting outside of the Seattle Children’s Hospital demanding the reinstatement of gender affirming surgeries for trans youth. 🧵

It’s still miserably cold to be sleeping outside, especially when sweeps have taken so many warming supplies from people. Please keep sharing and donate if you’re able. This community is amazing. We will be putting out an update soon.

🚨MUTUAL AID🚨 *personal vouch* $ACABCritter or $sweatybuttcrackpdx Venmo: sweatybuttcrackpdx

These folks are real ones and this has been a long cold stretch that is only going to get longer.

We have helped 22 adults, 4 children and 4 dogs into rooms with $1797 in donations from this amazing community. We have $66 left and several more requests. Please donate if you’re able, and if you’re not, please share. ❤️‍🔥🏨❤️‍🔥

We are out of funds and have more requests. Please help if you’re able.

Next month the International Olympic Committee will elect a new president. One frontrunner, Lord Sebastian Coe, has openly stated that he thinks trans athletes threaten sport. Other candidates have adopted equally, if not more draconian stances. www.dw.com/en/sebastian...

If you have anything you can spare right now please do, these folks have helped so many houseless folks directly!

URGENT: Help Get Our Homeless Neighbors Inside! The forecast is calling for freezing temperatures and snow… our local cold weather shelters will not be open unless the temp reaches 25°. Please donate if you are able and share share share!!!!!

🌙 Tonight, it’ll drop to 29° again and shelters won’t be open. Our neighbors, already struggling, will again face the cold. We’re still raising funds to get them into hotels or provide vital warming supplies. Please donate or share. We protect us. 💔❤️‍🔥

warming shelters don’t open unless it gets 4 degrees colder 😭 cruelty is the point 😡 please help if you can 🩵

29° tonight. The highest don’t allow people to warm up during the day. The county doesn’t care.

Tonight, temperatures in Portland will drop to 29°. Tragically, our shelters don’t open unless it’s 25° or colder, leaving many of our neighbors out in the cold. This is inhumane. Every share and every dollar counts.

Update: So far , with generous assistance from the community we have managed to get 19 people (including BIPOC, disabled elders, and trans youth), 2 cats, 8 dogs into hotel and motel rooms for 2-3 nights each. Please continue to share and donate if you’re able. It’s going to get colder…

It’s v cold outside and the city is not prepared to help people. Please donate and/or share. We protect us.

Need a last minute gift idea? Make a donation to us or another mutual aid group in somebody's name! You get to help out neighbors in need and can use it to piss off your conservative family members. Just reach out and we will help you customize one.
