A local shelter serving trans people currently has no heat.  Because the government denounces trans people, this shelter receives no public funding and relies entirely on community support.
How you can help: • Financial donations for heating and utilities • #DonateIfYouCan #HelpNow #WinterRelief

Am I going to have to do something drastic to make sure my host is fed and DOESN'T FUCKING DIE, or is someone going to step up and keep us from fucking starving? Or everyone can do what they usually do and ignore us. ko-fi.com/ixrer/goal?g... #Urgent #HelpNow #StopIgnoringUs

KARE 11: 'Volunteers delivering groceries to families report being followed by ICE'

'She said she and her volunteers have been tailed by ICE, and that agents have even shown up at her residence because some of the delivery vans they use are registered in her name.'
