#MutualAid is solidarity not charity

If they tell us to risk our lives for their pockets we refuse. Their sacred cow of a line going up and to the right is not worth a single loss in our community. We take care of each other.

Under the Stay at Home order providing food is still allowed and we will continue to operate while following social distancing best practices

what are your favorite spices to stock up on? We like cumin, turmeric, ground ginger, cardamom, gochugaru

Multnomah County Library cards are now available online! Their digital offerings include audiobooks, ebooks, comics, movies, tv shows, and more. They are a great way to treat yourself to some good entertainment and other media

Good morning friends!
Here are some pics from yesterday's food deliveries.

With it becoming more and more likely that many kids will be out of school for the rest of the year it's time to start thinking about online free school classes. What class could you teach online to community kiddos?

Tomorrow, March 18, food box deliveries will be rolling out in Portland central.
Please sign up if you need food.

It sounds like the moratorium on evictions has 3 gotchas you should be aware of:

* It only applies if you can show "documentation or other objectively verifiable means" that you lost income due to the pandemic
* You MUST notify your landlord before the rent is due that you can't pay due to loss of income resulting from the pandemic
* You MUST repay within 6 months of the Portland state of emergency being lifted

If anyone has any questions about available networks and resources in Portland feel free to reach out. ❤️
