Two and a half weeks into the illegitimate regime of 45, and it’s clear that the only way forward is to support one another personally in our communities. It’s a clear question of survival for those on the edge, and a little help can make all the difference. There were several diaries last year to help crowdfund construction of a solid, secure, warm shelter for Aji & Wings, but they tapered off after the election and with the devastating news of Linda’s (PDNC’s) fight against a resurgence of cancer, as we all threw our efforts to secure medical needs for Linda before she ultimately lost that fight.
But while the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity, with both organized and spontaneous marches fighting back against malicious Executive Orders, the need for funds has not slowed. Indeed, there have been some setbacks, and much of the electric needed to be redone, taking funds away from other upcoming expenses. The real danger is in Aji & Wings not being able to afford labor — local guys they know and trust, but those guys have families to support too, and if Aji & Wings can’t afford to pay them, then they’ll have to look for work elsewhere, and who knows when they’d be available to start on the house again.
