My birthday is coming up on September 9th! To mark the occasion, I invite you to help me raise $1,000 for Jamaica Plain and Roxbury Mutual Aid! These funds will go directly toward groceries and cash disbursements (of $150 each) for neighbors who are reaching out for support.
Back in March when I first got involved in this network, there was a huge outpouring of support from neighbors to support each other's financial needs. Later this summer, donations slowed down as requests for support increased. I'm raising money in support of the JPRMA network's effort to raise $120,000 in support of 800 families who have reached out.
I also want to shout out these other super important opportunities to support radical, community-led COVID relief work:

Love you all!
