EmptyBox Global Organization is a new non-profit whose goal is "reducing the strain of the cardboard box industry on our collective global resources".

The idea is to be able to distribute unused cardboard boxes in the community according to need to avoid needless waste. Distribution sites would be put in various places around town for the community to give or take boxes.

It's located in Seattle but aims to be global.

I'm a trans #ActuallyAutistic person with white privilege who broke their ankle and is out of work/ineligible for unemployment, waiting for financial aid to arrive. My storage unit ($215) needs to be paid in full by the 18th or they auction off my belongings. Can you help?

Anything helps, including boosts.

Please help a black, indigenous, or otherwise racially marginalized person first.
