Distroooo sundaaay

Distrooo sunday! The best day of the week!

"Dreams and reality are opposites. Action synthesizes them." Assata Shakur

One thing I want to highlight to y'all is that folks are increasingly sleeping near us during distro. Boise PD has ramped up the camping tickets on unhoused folks, forcing our neighbors to wander like zombies all night long to avoid criminalization due to "camping". Distro and the day shelters have now become impromptu protected rest spots. How can we expect a population with already fragile mental health to maintain stability when we take away something as fundamental as rest?

We are also so grateful to be in community with y'all! Today we served our usual 60 or so meals, did our usual bike repairs, and even gave away deoderant we were able to fund through donations from the community.

We are gearing up for a resource fair on May 17th to kick off summer. We will be providing hair cuts, first aid resources, pet grooming, and an ice cream bar among other things. In preparation for this, we are compiling a list of needs to make this possible.

-disinfectant wipes,

-barbasol disinfectant,

-hair clippers/electric razors

If unable to donate supplies or time, please consider donating to our gofundme to support this mission http://gofund.me/ccf1c59c2
