I’ve been suffering with a tremendous amount of health issues, especially since I got COVID 2 years ago, that have stripped every ounce of health I had left. I’m bedridden most days and in 10/10 pain that leaves me screaming and crying. I have recently been diagnosed with something serious that will require me to undergo treatments not covered by Medicaid. I also just lost a major source of my income that’s been keeping me afloat. I’m really in the darkest place of my life and dealing with SI on a daily basis, but trying hard to survive.

Really appreciate anyone helping out by even the smallest donation or just sharing with others.

Thank you

Are you living in a Vehicle, RV or Van (or considering it) and wanting to share resources and support or travel together with other Viral Aware, Anti Oppression Humans? Let’s team up!

I’m trying out vanlife as a way to avoid Covid, Mold, Pollution, and Toxic Bigots. I’m Disabled, Queer and Trans and want to camp together with folks who understand how to keep each other safe in these horrific times. Think of how animals group together for safety - I want to offer and receive that!

I want a safe spot around the campfire (or the outdoor movie for low fire risk) where I can be out as myself instead of making small talk with drumpers. I want to share fresh veg and restorative transformative justice with other marginalized folks and participate in mutual aid as we travel. I’ve been traveling in rural/ small towns California which feels relatively safe but I am open to making my way to other places for good community. Please ket me know if you have found a safe and emotionally healthy intentional community!

Email contact coming soon, for now please comment if interested.

Greetings! I’m Hilary and I have a spare bedroom in a small 3-bedroom apartment near U of T for around $700 CAD per month including utilities. Includes common area/kitchen, large window in spare bedroom, and a lovely shared backyard. You would be living with me and my cat. On second floor and unfortunately not accessible, no elevator. Nice neighbourhood, close subway station and bus routes. Looking for January move-in.

Me: 36-year-old in digital archives/library/data field. Currently working entirely from home but may take on hybrid work (always masking at work in N95). Pro-Palestine Jew and deeply involved in Palestine solidarity and left-wing Jewish community. Queer she/they type, neurodivergent, chronic joint pain and frequently tired but friendly. Night owl but considerate with noise. Non-smoker, very occasional drinker, occasional use of medicinal cannabis (consumed orally or topically, not smoked). Frankly quite messy but will keep common area nice.

You, hopefully: late 20s or 30-something with comparable COVID practices. Don’t have to be queer but obviously queer-friendly. Not allergic to and generally fine with cats. Compatible politics and substance use habits. Good communicator with boundaries and cooperative apartment maintenance because while 3 bedrooms may sound spacious the apartment is small.

I'm having to swallow my pride. I'm Kim Crawley, and I'm very active in various Covid safe places.

When my income has been good, I have bought respirators and tests for people.

Usually my income is pretty good. But this month has been difficult. Plus my ex-partner stole about $3000 from me. (I have security hardened, but I won't get that money back.)

All the companies I work for are going to pay me well after my rent is due on October 15th.

If I can fundraise $2000 by Monday, October 14th, I will host a Zoom session on Saturday, October 19th, open to all.

In the session, I read passages from my O'Reilly book Hacker Culture: A to Z, and answer your questions about security operations, pentesting, and how to explain cybersecurity to laypeople.

Please donate or share. Thank you very much. ❤

Hi community, we’re disabled and need some help (paid) with a new Covid-cautious, queer-friendly, nonsmoking fragrance-free community we’re creating in the Northern California mountains in Sierra City, near the Yuba River, over 40 lakes, waterfalls, Pacific Crest Trail, etc.  Potential for long-term residency too.

The paid opportunity is floating-wood-floor installation, painting with air-purifying paint, or cleaning.  There’s also work-trade and paid work available in more areas too.

Personal health support high risk scenario

Hello!

I'm Seneca, I have a connective tissue disorder, congenital heart disease and gene defect. Im First nations, and high risk. I’m currently staying in a high risk enviroment at a public shelter, which leaves me particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 due to the lack of safety measures in place here.

There's a new outbreak starting, I’m deeply concerned about the risk of ending up in the hospital again and facing further long-term effects.

Shelters rarely accommodate non-autonomous individuals, but I’ve been granted an exception. Unfortunately, I have no safety net—my partner recently passed away, and I have no family to rely on. If my health deteriorates further, I’m in a dire situation.

In my health care wish list, ive included anti covid saftey items to help keep me safe during this time You can find the wishlist here: [Amazon Wishlist](https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/1CN1WLNFK4D27?ref_=wl_share). Thank you so much for your community & allyship

Homeless shelter safer indoor air Initiative fundraiser

# data[].attributes.body
Hello! My name is Seneca,

I'm reaching out to clean air advocates and caring individuals who believe in making a difference. I'm seeking your support to help protect a vulnerable community that lacks the privilege of choice in ensuring their safety.

As someone at high risk, I'm currently living in a homeless shelter due to chronic illness. Shelters rarely accommodate non-autonomous individuals, but I’ve been granted an exception. Unfortunately, I have no safety net—my partner recently passed away, and I have no family to rely on. If my health deteriorates further, I’m in a dire situation.

I’m working to raise awareness about the critical need for COVID-19 safety measures, particularly clean air, as we head into colder months when windows will be shut. Illness is a constant concern here, with new people arriving daily, ever-changing staff, and a mix of emergency and temporary residents across three floors.

To create a safer and healthier environment, I’ve initiated conversations with the shelter's management about the importance of improving air quality. However, the cost of this essential upgrade may be beyond their budget, which is why I’m starting this fundraiser. My initial goal is to secure one air purifier that can effectively cover one floor, with hopes that the shelter can eventually provide more.

I’m not sure if the specific air purifier I’m considering will be the one ultimately chosen. The goal is just the beginning, and the funds raised will go towards whichever COVID safety system or purifier is accepted and best for the shelter

This fundraiser is a step toward ensuring safer air for everyone in the shelter. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of those who have no other options.

Thank you for your allyship and commitment to making our community a safer place for all

Hi community! We have a private, detached cabin rental available (either long-term or for the month of September) in a Covid-cautious, queer-friendly, nonsmoking fragrance-free community in the Northern California mountains in Sierra City, near the Yuba River, over 40 lakes, waterfalls, Pacific Crest Trail, etc.

More info on the “Clean Air Mountain Community” https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GoJUDvpBeSRkkNQKMxj53pcZ4bl-3kc-1KTfZ_venyk/edit?usp=sharing

Photos of the area: https://photos.app.goo.gl/d4TymFQVe3gzprYt9

For the private detached cabin (between 550-600 square feet, located over 20 feet from the other cabin, about 40 ft from us, and over 100 feet further from other houses), it’s 1475/mo for one person, 1500 for two (at this rate we're not breaking even, but we wanted to make it as affordable as possible despite all the costs to make it MCS-friendly). Some work-exchange may be available.

The community currently has 3 covid-cautious fragrance-free queer folks living here, and the additional private cabin has room for up to 1 to 2 more folx. Also, separately from this, I just learned recently there’s a place for sale a tenth of a mile from this community – we’re not in a position to buy it ourselves but happy to share info.

This is a great place to enjoy outdoors (swimming, hiking, backcountry skiing) far away from others (been swimming every day except one this whole summer so far). The lake in this picture is one of over 40 lakes nearby.

For info, please email irinarivkin@yahoo.com after reading the googledoc. Thanks!

Hello,

First off, I'm very grateful for the community! I've been actively job hunting remotely for the past 4 months and since this is an employer's market, I have yet to even land 1 interview. Unfortunately, that means I'm 3 months behind paying my credit card bill and have nothing for groceries. I was denied SNAP benefits because I still live at home, but my mother is unable to help as she is struggling. As of now, I need about $350 before August 13th. It won't solve the issues, but I don't feel comfortable asking so much ;;

Thank you all 🫶🏾

I left my in-person job to accept a work from home job early in 2024 so I could stay COVID safe(r). I was abruptly laid off in mid-April. I have not been able to get another full time job yet, and my savings are gone. I'm just barely getting my rent paid with little gigs, and all my other bills are piling up.

I'm behind on my electric bill, my internet bill, and my renter's insurance. I'm just trying to throw a little money at them so I can buy myself some more time while I keep job searching.

Hi! I’m Chloe, I’m looking for a roommate in Chicago. I’m in Rogers Park right now and am quite attached, I would love to look in this neighborhood but would be open to a different one for the right roommate fit. My Covid precautions include that I work from home and mask with an N95 indoors or KN94 outside. I mostly avoid crowds and will communicate about any situations with unusual risk. My max budget is $1000 but I am sure we can find something lower.

If you have a room open or are also looking and we sound like a good fit I would love to hear from you!

I’m from Santa Fe, NM and used to do a lot of theater. Working from home means I’m there for much of the time. I’ll keep common spaces clean and tidy but am used to some level of disorganization in my own room- so I can forgive if things get messy before they get clean again.

Are you still masking? Are you still fighting oppression? Do you believe climate crisis is here and happening now? Do you want someone to talk with and spend time with regularly who gets it? I do! I am told I am authentic, present, kind, honest, compassionate. Let’s be friends! Message me at: wacky@kaniphis.anonaddy.com

Covid deepened the isolation for so many of us who cannot pretend everything is ok. I am used to having one or two close friends who help make the world make sense. Somewhere between coming out as immunocompromised/ disabled, trans, and anti-racist, I lost my friends.

I’m an artist, herbalist, crafter and maker of experiences. I’m 50, queer, trans, and disabled.

I’m ready to relocate - possibly leaving the west coast (currently in sf bay area) and I might choose where to go based upon the people there. I want to make the kind of solid friendships that existed before social media and I want to hang out and support each other and do our best to make things better for oppressed people in the global majority. I want to grieve together and celebrate together while the world burns.

I’m also interested in creating a crip queer land project and land back project with other people interested in intentional community - hit me up.

I’m reaching out for support in staying alive.

My friends keep choosing to end their lives in their 30’s, my nana died, I’m estranged from my right wing Christian nationalist family, unemployed due to disability but so far no ssdi, and have been in ongoing crisis for seven months. I have been doing all I can to remain stable and grounded but it’s becoming increasingly difficult.

I have BPD and autism plus multiple chronic illnesses, and a history of self harm and institutionalization. I am seeking funds for a specific therapist I have worked with in the past (my very first one, she kept me alive and safe for three years) who no longer accepts my insurance.

I have gone back to her once before when I was really struggling and she helped me stabilize again. My hope is to be able to see her at least five times, but anything would help.

She is $125/session, I’ll gratefully accept any amount towards any number of sessions.

Please do not message me about this topic, even if I know you and you think you’re being supportive, I am not in a stable enough headspace to receive any kind of messages on this topic.

Feel free to share on social media but don’t tag me. This is a hard ask to make and I’d rather be as anonymous as possible.

Thank you.

I’m with an urgent plea for Cedar, our beloved senior foster cat. Cedar was found apart of a feral colony in Springfield, Oregon and was trapped to receive medical care. He immediately showed he was a friendly kitty ready to retire from the streets and find a forever home.

However, Cedar is now facing significant health challenges that require immediate medical attention. He is in need of a comprehensive dental cleaning, which includes multiple extractions. Dental issues are not uncommon in cats who lived on the streets and can lead to severe pain, infection, and further health complications if left untreated. Also, covering this cost will prevent cat rescues or his future forever owners from having to be burdened with this high expensive.

The estimated cost for Cedar’s dental procedure, including the necessary extractions, medications, and follow-up care, is substantial. As much as we wish we could cover these expenses on our own, we are finding it increasingly difficult to manage without support. That’s why we’ve created this GoFundMe campaign.

How Your Donation Will Help:

Comprehensive Dental Cleaning: Ensuring Cedar’s mouth is free of plaque and bacteria.

Extractions: Removing the broken teeth that are causing pain and potential infection.

Medications: Antibiotics and pain relief to aid in Cedar’s recovery.

Follow-Up Care: Ensuring Cedar remains healthy and comfortable post-procedure.

Every Dollar Makes a Difference

We understand that times are tough for many, and any amount you can contribute will make a tremendous difference in Cedar’s life. Your generosity will directly impact Cedar’s well-being, allowing him to enjoy his golden years without pain and with the quality of life he deserves.

Other Ways to Help

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing Cedar’s story with your friends, family, and social networks. Raising awareness is just as crucial and can help us reach our goal.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read Cedar’s story and for any support you can provide. Together, we can give Cedar the gift of health and happiness.

My friend is looking for COVID cautious housing. (A roommate situation.)

They always mask outside the home and minimize exposures.

In search of a room, a couch, or someone covid safe to team up with to get long term housing. Currently on east coast, but willing to move anywhere in the US.

Seeking a quiet, generally tidy, and understanding housemate. Someone else with disabilities/chronic illness would be a nice bonus—just to have shared understanding around the need for basic health precautions, rest, and pacing. Writers, artists, and advocates of social justice/direct action especially welcome. A step-free home, free from scented products would be ideal.

Max budget will be approx $550/mo

Housing Needs:

- COVID cautious (on immunosuppresants)

- Powerchair accessible (no stairs preferred, a few might work with a temporary ramp)

- LGBTQ+ friendly housemates

- Flexible on location.

They urgently need a place to crash, even if cannot stay long term. Even happy to take a couch for a while

Please contact:

Hi everyone! My name is Sam (they/them). I’m currently looking to get out of my current covid-unsafe housing situation and am looking for either someone(s) to search for housing with or to move into an already covid cautious household. I can move and sign a lease for as early as July 1st. I’m a disabled/chronically ill, biracial, latinx, queer, and non-binary/trans person studying part time at UBC (going back in the fall, not taking summer courses) and on disability income assistance. Limit of $900/month including utilities. Please feel free to forward this to anyone who is also looking for a covid-conscious roommate/housemate!

A bit about my covid pre-cautiouns: i wear n95s in every indoor space all the time (inlcuding common spaces in my own home at the moment), i don’t unmask around people outside my household (but i also don’t have in-person covid conscious friends at the moment either - im hoping that’ll change soon!), i mask outdoors probably around 90% of the time, i do not indoor dine/restaurant dine at all and avoid crowded indoor spaces (no concerts, etc.) I am open to attend mask mandatory indoor events, just have not been to many. I will also be commuting to class 3 times a week in fall, and do occasionally shop for groceries in person (all masked of course).

I’m looking to room with people who take consistent multilayered approaches to covid mitigation including at minimum masking in all indoor spaces in an n95 or equivalent mask, no indoor dining, regular testing, nasal sprays, etc. I’m also hoping to be able to develop a sense of community with roommates through perhaps sharing creative interests, getting involved in community organizing work together, and things of that nature. As I’m autistic, I really benefit from strong communication relating to boundaries, needs, and wants and I’d want to live with people who are open to building conflict structures and meet somewhat regularly for check ins. I’d also prefer to live with other queer and trans individuals but this is not a deal breaker. I’m hoping to invest in a plus-life nucleic acid testing device soon that we could use as a household when negotiating rules around having guests over and things like that. Lmk if you feel aligned with what I’ve shared and are interested and please send along to anyone who you know might be interested! Thanks for reading :)

AFAB, She/her, almost 38, chronically ill, 2 elderly dachshunds, take Covid precautions. Order delivery for groceries, rarely go into spaces that aren’t COVID safe except for healthcare if absolutely needed. On disability, I would need a first floor place. My two elderly long haired dachshunds that are pretty mellow for dachshunds. They’re my emotional support animals. When the inevitable happens, I will need to get a cat for an emotional support animal. I can’t walk dogs the way I wish I could anymore as much as I’d like.

I do stay in my room most of the day. That could be because I’m not currently living somewhere I feel safe, but also for personal rest & recharge reasons.

I’m 420 friendly. I do not smoke, but I do use edibles for pain management & ptsd.

The new 2023/2024 COVID and pandemic justice work wave is 4 years too late. Help us fund The Health Stellium!

The Health Stellium is made up of Gen Zers (born in 1996 or later) and a few younger Millennials on the late end who warned older leaders about COVID for years. We trusted them first only to find out they were mismanaging funds and/or engaging in sexual misconduct, both of which delayed our ability to start this work.

Denials of funding and the self doubt that resulted from them on top of having elders push us out from other sources also delayed us getting started. We are still tired of poor leadership from politicians to leftist organizers screwing up our health.

We refuse to celebrate late public health efforts after being ignored and derailed. We are fundraising for ourselves after trying everything else.

We started our fundraiser because:

1. Youth who advocated for covid & public health safety years ago were pushed out of leftist organizations (some into homelessness and joblessness). Some leadership responsible for this are now pivoting into public health work in our communities in 2024. We also applied for funding to do this work YEARS AGO (2022 to be exact).

2. Our friends & loved ones have already died

3. Too many community members already have long covid

4. Many gen z, gen alpha, and younger millennial youth no longer trust anyone who thrived in elder & influencer movement cultures of abuse, sexual misconduct, & mismanagement of funds to lead anymore.

Funds will go towards building safer public health systems for young people who continue to be failed by leadership.

1. Continue buying and shipping masks to community members nationwide ( $ 1000)

2. Purchase more higher quality air purifying equipment to lend for events ($ 5000)

3. Send aid to young Black LGBTQ+ community members who are sick, living with long COVID, and other ailments ($ 4200)

4. Hold virtual and in person meetings to strategize for our community safety and wellness (Zoom + Alternatives: $ 4000)

5. Formally incorporate to be able to sustain our own operations ($ 400)

6. Pay graphics designers and others who have been working as volunteers ($ 400)

Seeking COVID-safe rental room north of the Twin Cities, MN area by Sept. 1.

Seeking COVID-safe rental room north of the Twin Cities, MN area by Sept. 1.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi all! I’m James (he/him pronouns, transmasc lesbian, queer, mid-30s, deaf, ASL-fluent, disabled & immunocompromised/high-risk). I’m looking to move in by the end of August 2024, and my search is beginning now because I want to take my time getting to know the prospective housemates some first to ensure that where I move next is the best fit for all of us. Thank you in advance for your time reading this. If you feel we could jam along great, contact me via spoteet4 at gmail, or text me at 209-471-8143. I look forward to connecting with you!

>> Summary: I’m searching for a long-term private room in a communal house up north, outside the Twin Cities area, with rent (or rent & labor) preferably directly benefiting the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples. Budget is $700 max with all utilities included. I need to be someplace where everyone is serious about consistent multilayered approaches to prevent/minimize COVID/virus transmission. If you have other suggestions, I’m open. <<

I grew up on the unceded ancestral lands of the Sierra Miwok & Waali people (northern California) and knowing my ancestral/familial history is a work in progress for me; I do carry white privilege. I don’t drink alcohol or smoke/vape at all, my background is clean, and there are not any animals or children with me (although I love animals/children and enjoy taking care of them). I’ve rented a private room in a Minneapolis house (four people here total) since September 2022, where I pick up after myself and help clean up in shared common spaces (having a chore list helps me a lot for consistency). I pay rent early before the 1st of each month (which I’ve done for the past 3-4 residences now).

The Twin Cities aren’t for me, I need to go north and live closer to nature. I miss having an intimate connection with the lands and giving back to the lands. I helped some at my grandma’s farm up in Winnipeg, Canada several years ago at age 17-18 (the traditional lands of the Anishinabe, Ininew, Oji-Cree, Dene, and Dakota peoples). I’m looking for long-term housing up to two and half hours out from here—somewhere that’s still a reasonable driving distance from a city for necessities and healthcare services (maybe halfway between the Twin Cities and Duluth, or closer to Duluth?).

I used to be part of an amazing 10-person creative/artist BIPOC-majority communal housing co-op of queer/sapphic/lesbian women, femmes, and nonbinary/transmasc folks in the San Francisco Bay Area where we took care of each other, and I’d love to have that kind of experience again. I’m hoping to see the rent and/or my labor be redistributed to Indigenous owned/run communal housing, as an ongoing investment in the well-being of Indigenous/Black folks and the Land Back movement.

This is a long shot, but I would love (and need!) to be part of a house where everyone is consistent with multi-pronged approaches in preventing/minimizing virus transmission, while living their lives. That is, in my opinion, essential for physical and emotional safety. I wear reusable N95-quality silicone masks with airtight seals indoors and outdoors, use eye protection, wash my hands, carry hand sanitizer, have groceries/items delivered or curbside-picked up, and go out only for essential errands and low-risk outdoors time. I have a HEPA air purifier and a fan in my room, and I keep my window cracked open whenever possible. I bring Aranet 4 and a portable air purifier for in-person appointments, and I time my appointments to avoid crowds as much as possible. I stayed home by myself for three of the last four end-of-year holidays, not going to visit family or friends in person due to risk assessment.

At this time, I pay $600 (all utilities included) for a private room and a shared bathroom on different floors. If the prospective house has the room on the same floor with and is positioned near the bathroom (for disability reasons), I’m willing and able to pay up to $700 (all utilities included). I’m a homebody, self-employed part-time and on a fixed income, and I work remotely from home. High speed wi-fi is a must for what I do—justice-informed marketing, producing educational content, and video calls for clients.

Learning ASL is NOT required! I communicate just fine with non-signing folks by writing on paper, using a reusable board with markers, or doing direct text/FB messages on the smartphone (I can’t lip-read at all, please don’t ask me to do that).

Some more about me? I’m neurodivergent, a night owl, sex and kink/BDSM positive, poly friendly, accepting of sex workers. I nerd out on Dayna Lynn Nuckolls’ #DivinationforLiberation framework of sidereal astrology, I’m mostly fire and earth and need to be around folks who have plenty of air and water in their birth charts to balance me out. I like to be outside in nature, and I enjoy deep conversations and writing. Although I’m a reserved person who does need alone time and it takes time for me to feel comfortable opening up, my communication style tends to be straightforward and explicit.

I’m happy to provide references, both personal and professional, and I thank you for your time. If you have questions or other suggestions, let me know.

We need help.

It hurts and sucks to say that I'm starting off 2024 like this. 2023 was probably the worst year of my life. I lost my job in January. I lost my medical coverage in April. I lost any sort of reliable income stream in July. I lost my ninth friend in two years in October. Then, right before Christmas, my cat, who I fought to take care of for the last three years, passed away on my kitchen floor eight feet away from me. During the year, I applied for hundreds of jobs, and I didn't even get one interview. My health has also sucked for the entire year. Needless to say the stress has just turned into numbness. I'm happy to say that I'm teaching again, but I won't see a paycheck from that until the last day of February, and when I do get it, that first one will be less than what someone makes working part time at McDonald's. No offense to anyone working at McDonald's, but we can't reasonably survive on that. I cannot have a repeat of last year. I simply cannot endure it, and I will not live this way for a third year. I'm doing everything I can think of to get back on my feet, but the pandemic killed me, and it continues to kick my dead body around. We are pretty sure that my breathing problems are the result of long Covid. While I continue to fight my way back onto my feet, we need help. This is the last thing I want to ask for because I'm not stupid. I know sooner or later, everyone is going to start to say, "How come this guy can't get his act together?" I had a career for fifteen years, and that is just over. I'm trying.

If you don't mind helping us out again, you are literally saving our lives. I am doing everything I can to get back on my feet, and as I said, I WON'T live this way for a third year.

Thanks for any and all your help. I'm sorry. I don't know what else to do. This is not what I had planned for my life.

travel & accommodations to go to my brothers funeral

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
On Dec 28 my chronically ill & disabled younger brother, my only sibling, Frankie, or Lumin as he recently preferred, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from heart complications. He was 32. Living in North Carolina & grappling with my own disabilities, I am faced with the challenge of traveling to Vermont to for a final goodbye to my brother & to support our mourning mother who was with him when he passed. Unfortunately, my health circumstances have left me without any regular income, intensifying the financial strain of this unforeseen journey. We have an incredible friend who has offered to stay with the dogs, so only my service dog will be going with us. This will make managing the trip a little easier, logistically/energetically/financially. Because of my own disabilities & chronic illnesses/health issues, & the complications covid has already taken on my heart, lungs, and brain, I still have to take covid-mitigation very seriously. This means accommodations must include its own private; air system/return, entrance, bathroom, and kitchenette to align with the essential precautions necessary for my health. This is also high-tourism season for skiing in the area my family is in, so has made finding more affordable accommodations a little harder. The $2500 should cover the estimated amount for lodging and gas for this trip. I will be able to be there for my moms birthday, and my brothers funeral. Anything over will go towards the inevitable incidentals & caring for my family & myself while I am up there. If venmo or facebook pay are easier/better for you (they both allow me to use the money sooner as well) please message me for that info. Thank you for considering offering your support, if you are able to, as I navigate this difficult journey to bid farewell to my brother, & provide solace to my grieving mother.

University of Delaware grad student seeking covid-conscious roommate

# data[].attributes.body
I am looking for a 2 bedroom, and someone to share it with. These will mostly be under $1600 total, though I'm aiming for under $1400. Mostly looking at properties owned by Pettinaro, currently.

My bare minimum is that you wear a KN95 or better in public indoor spaces. Beyond that, I am willing to adjust my protocol to your comfort as much as I reasonably can. In any indoor space or crowded outdoor space, I wear an n95 or p100, both of which pass a qualitative fit test.

I am a PhD student in a small research group of 6 people. I may have to TA class sizes of 10-20 in the spring semester.

I do indoor climbing and social dancing in small groups of ~10, 2-3 of them masked besides myself, somewhat weekly, and a monthly dance where everyone is masked. I'm willing to decrease the frequency with which I do these recreational activities, and find times at which there are less people, but can't quit them entirely.

I grocery shop in person, but the savings of a roommate could allow me to get delivery.

I like to generally maintain a quiet space for a couple hours to relax in, and I like dishes to not be left out over 2 days. Otherwise, I don't have much non-Covid restrictions on who I'll live with. I like RPGs, board games, knitting, and sci-fi. Let me know if you're interested!

The 4th round of COVID-conscious peer support groups start in mid-January. This a facilitated, shared space to connect with others biweekly who understand and empathize with what it's like to continue taking precautions.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This is a by-donation facilitated, online, peer-support group for people negotiating continued safety measures in the face of the unfolding pandemic. Applications are open for both groups that start in August.

The Problem

The current phase of COVID - where the general population and public health policy frames the pandemic as "over" and a matter of "individual responsibility" - has added new dimensions to the experience of those who continue to take safety precautions. For many, watching most people go back to normal daily life has intensified feelings of isolation, anger, fear, and sadness. It's increasingly difficult to stay connected with others.

Purpose

The goal of this group is to create a space where people who continue to proactively protect themselves from COVID can share sorrows, fears, and frustrations as well as resources, strategies, hope, and mutual support through open dialogue.

This group actively welcomes members of all races/ethnicities, gender identities, socioeconomic realities, and varied spiritual/religious beliefs. The group welcomes able-bodied, disabled, and/or immunocompromised folks. The expectation is that we come together to try to hold each other's diverse experiences with mutual respect. This is a place to think about what you need from others as well as what you have to offer.
Please note: This is not a psychotherapy group - this is supplemental peer support and does not take the place of any formal mental health services. Anyone who wishes to apply who is in need of psychotherapeutic support is encouraged to seek it out and have it in place before applying for this group. Additionally, nothing in this group should take the place of professional medical advice.
Time and Place

Every other Friday at 1pm PST (2pm MST, 3pm CST, 4pm EST) starting August 18th

Every other Saturday at 11:30am PST (12:30pm MST, 1:30pm CST, 2:30pm EST) starting August 12th

This is a ten session group, meeting every other week via Zoom. Each session is 1 hour and 15 minutes long.

Group Size

10-12 members

Donations

The standard donation is $25 per session, or as determined by your financial situation. Those in extreme financial hardship might consider a $5 donation. For those who are financially comfortable, a larger donation will help to provide for those experiencing hardship. What you donate is based on your own assessments of your budget and investment in the group. Donations are entirely on the honor system.

Payments can be made via Venmo, PayPal, or the Cash app.
Note: This is not a psychotherapeutic service and as such will not be reimbursed by your insurer.

I’m coming out of an unhealthy codependent 16 year relationship. I lost my love, best friend & caregiver in one day. I am disabled with no family support & he wants me out asap. He won’t help me financially & my state has no common law marriage (or he would owe me what I need).

I feel so alone & am mostly bedbound due to severely untreated pain. Please help me. Words currently escape me…I don’t know how to make this cheery or eye catching… I just really need help. 🥺

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hi there and thank you for visiting.

I'm a Disabled Queer Autistic Woman battling multiple ((extremely painful)) chronic illnesses. Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Degenerative Disc Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis to name a few. I am mostly bedbound and am greatly struggling to navigate a life altering challenge. I could use all the help I can get. I don't have family support and my love/best friend/caretaker for nearly 16 years has withdrawn most financial support for things like supplements and medications and tells me to move out multiple times a week. I need to get out of here. It is unbearable living somewhere you are not wanted.

Unfortunately, I can't go to a shelter or group home because I'm severely high risk and cannot get COVID again or risk getting RSV or any other nasty things out there. I am still recovering from something I got the end of October that caused me to cough up blood for an entire day. I'm struggling to find any affordable housing. There aren't many waitlists open and the ones that are, take years to get into a place, if at all.

This is leaving me in a very difficult situation because the $1,000/month that I'm given for disability from the government is not enough to cover the cost of housing, utilities, caring for my two elderly dachshunds and the extra medical expenses that come with being disabled.

If Palimony or Common Law Marriage were applicable in this state...he would owe me at least 1k a month which would greatly help, however he is unwilling to help out financially after all these years. After his family took me in, in full force because I'm estranged from my family. I need to get out and find housing ...but I have no in person support at this point.

This is a very minimum goal to help me with housing to give me time to wait for housing vouchers/whatever housing programs I can find. I have no idea how much utilities will cost, or where I can find to live.

Any extra funds after I find housing and get my budget situated, will be paid forward to other mutual aid. I am so incredibly grateful for any assistance you can provide, as this transition is a daunting challenge for me, as I aim to regain my independence, safety and self-sufficiency.

Thank you for stopping by and supporting me on this journey. If you can't contribute financially, that's okay! Please don't feel bad. Times are rough right now, every contribution, whether it's $1 or $0.25...means the world to me. Shares are also an incredible way to help me meet my goal that don't cost a thing.

I’ve been dealing with health issues, issues with school and work, isolation, personal tragedies as I’m sure a lot of people are. I am trying to live up to my values and survive in this capitalistic hellscape of a world. I want to stop feeling so disillusioned and build more community with people who feel the same.

Grace is Linda's greatest joy, and her emotional support companion. Grace had recently been diagnosed with bladder stones and required emergency surgery to have them removed. Her recovery is several weeks and it is not something Linda can manage on her own. And after surgery Grace will be on a special (expensive) diet for the rest of her life.

The Blackfalds Veterinary Hospital and their team have stepped up to help Linda and have graciously offered to provide post-op care to Grace until she is able to return home.

The surgery and post-op care is expensive and not something Linda can afford by herself. Raising funds to help cover the cost of the surgery, the follow up care, and any additional treatment Grace will require.

Any help you can provide would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you xx

Hi, my name is Kelly and my dear friend Linda is in need of some help and support.

For those of you who know her, you know that Linda is one of the kindest and most generous people you will ever meet. She has volunteered countless hours to the community and has received the Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Medal for her volunteer service in Alberta. She never hesitates to help those she cares for, and you couldn't ask for a better friend.

Linda has dealt with RA for most of her life, and her resilience and strength of character has carried her through many challenging times. I admire her so much and I am blessed to call her and Grace, "family".

As many of you know Grace (Gracie) is Linda's greatest joy, and her emotional support companion. Grace has recently been diagnosed with bladder stones and requires emergency surgery to have them removed. Her recovery will be several weeks and it is not something Linda can manage on her own. And after surgery Grace will be on a special (expensive) diet for the rest of her life.

The Blackfalds Veterinary Hospital and their team have stepped up to help Linda and have graciously offered to provide post-op care to Grace until she is able to return home.

The surgery and post-op care is expensive and not something Linda can afford by herself and so I am raising funds to help cover the cost of the surgery, the follow up care, and any additional treatment Grace will require.

Any help you can provide would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you xx

Once summer rolls around, my dad isn't renewing my lease, so I should find somewhere else to go or at least find a flatmate. Please email at SophieCiRi@protonmail.com if you have a room opening in your place then, or if you want to move in to my flat in England, or if you want to look for some place together! I always wear a respirator outside of my home and don't dine/drink at dining establishments. I'll abide by any COVID precautions you want me to, I have three air purifiers, and I'm as vaccinated and boosted as I can be. My current place is up a flight of stairs.

(CW: abuse)

I put off asking because I felt like I didn't deserve this. My abuser withheld our rent and utilities to try to force me leave, and now I'm trying desperately to come up with the funds to pay more than $11,000 in rent and utility arrears.

I'm in a homelessness prevention program, but it's conditional on having public assistance/other donations. I was just denied public assistance and still haven't gotten disability or unemployment. I have Long Covid, haven't had healthcare in a few years, and am beginning to face more mobility challenges. This apartment is physically accessible to me, and I don't qualify for an accessible unit, so staying here is the best option for me.

I appreciate any support!

Seeking roommate(s) in the transition of the household to more COVID-safe household in Davis, CA

# data[].attributes.body
Hi. I am currently renting a four bedroom, two bathroom house with my partner and three other roommates who are not COVID-conscious as my partner and I are and who do not mask or test unless sick.

One of these less COVID-conscious housemates will be moving out in the Spring of 2024, so we will be looking for more COVID-aware folks to live with us when he moves out. At the beginning of August, the other two housemates who are not COVID-conscious will be moving out as well. At that point, we will need two other COVID-conscious folks to fill their spots.

My level of risk tolerance is that I run two HEPA filters in our house 24/7, wear N95s outside in spaces that are crowded, and 3M auras when I have to work in person (which is rare) or go shopping at all.

My partner's level of risk tolerance is that they wear N95 every day, all day at work and in public, though less so outside, like walks at parks. They also have a big family, and sometimes, take risks unmasked at family events. Occasionally, I will take that risk as well going to those gatherings. (Though not in this surge)

As a household, we mask around others if we feel like we are getting sick and will get tested repeatedly. We ALWAYS mask going to grocery stores or indoors in public and are looking for roommates with similar risk tolerances. This is our bare minimum.

Other aspects of our living environment are

queer/trans-friendly, antiracist, antiableist household. We do not accept fatphobia.

We have three tidy, affectionate cats.

We are mature and communicative and clean up after ourselves.

We are in our mid-20s/early 30s.

I am white, but my partner is not.

We are for a free Palestine. (I go to protests often in my 3maura!! Join me)

Hey everyone! I’m curious if there are folks out there who are still Coviding and based in North Texas. While there is a FB group for the major cities in Texas, aside from San Antonio (as far as I’m concerned), the only active group is Austin. Unfortunately, I don’t reside there.

I am a young woman (fairly recent college grad) who also identifies as POC. I’m looking for other girls or guys around the same age who are local and interested in things like hiking. I’m quite flexible and open to other activities, especially as it gets cooler, but above all else, I’d like to befriend folks who are consistent with masking and testing.

In person support needed for disabled man in Portland Oregon

# data[].attributes.body
Asking on behalf of a friend, who is disabled from ME/CFS, and dealing with the repercussions of 5+ acute covid infections. He has very little immune function left, so it's imperative that whoever helps him is taking strong precautions against covid and other contagions.
He told me yesterday that I am one of just 2 people locally who don't harass or antagonize him when we talk. This breaks my heart, and I want to help him have the quality of life he deserves.

I'm not entirely sure what specific supports he needs, we're going to go over that soon. I'm pretty sure he needs help cleaning inside his apartment, taking out garbage and recycling, doing laundry, washing dishes. It's likely he also needs someone to cook meals for him, pick up prescriptions, and go to the food bank on his behalf. And I know that he would benefit from people who can socialize in person, masked and very careful, but I think that would need to be brought up only once trust has been established.

I don't know if he gets caregiving hours through an agency, but if not I am going to help him get set up so that eventually whoever is helping him can get paid. I can help you get started on getting your paperwork sorted out also, so that hopefully both sides will be ready at roughly the same time (it can take a few months for the state to do their side of the paperwork, so it's best to start right away)

I'm happy to mend clothes and do other sewing for whoever ends up helping my friend, or we can work out something else.

If you can provide this help, please email me at KadenStillwell@gmail.com so we can set up a time to video chat about it

Still Coviding Advocacy & Content Collaborative

# data[].attributes.body
Some of us in the Cathartic Chatter afterhours room last night (Oct 14) were talking about focusing some of our advocacy and educational efforts on creating media in which we are talking with each other (folks still taking covid and community care seriously) about our experiences and sharing our knowledge, rather than directly addressing the people we hope to influence. The idea being that we will make these conversations public in the form of podcast episodes or other media + perhaps virtual performances (yes plz), but they will be presented more as a window into our world, centering those most targeted by empire & eugenics as subjects.

If you are still consistently wearing a mask in public and taking SARS2 seriously and would be interested in collaborating with us and participating in these conversations, consider joining us.

This is a sign up list so that when we're ready we can get the ball rolling.

We’re just getting started, and none of us has a lot of spoons, so it’ll probably chug along pretty slowly.
Thanks!

Hey y'all! I'm Erica--24, Black, AFAB nonbinary fat person (making these known not bc you also have to hold these identities, but you need to support the liberation of oppressed ppl). I'm looking for a roommate to be friends with as we continue to be v careful in these covid timessssss. I'm currently in the Bay Area, but it's expensive, so I'm v down to move but would prefer somewhere relatively walkable for groceries + parks and weed is legal. I wear masks indoors and in crowded outdoor spaces (like farmers markets—I'm not going to concerts or #events) and at-home test twice a week thanks to free community tests in the Bay.

My current lease ends early December, so need to make decisions sooner rather than later, and would love to talk to my future roommate more than a few times to be sure we'll be chill. I got financial capacity for ~850/month.

I have an immunocompromised and COVID conscious sister who understandably hates being on US soil, so she is often secluding in other parts of the world, but comes back for weeks or months at a time. She would be staying with me when she's in the US, and is more than happy to isolate for a time we agree on post-travel to ensure she wouldn't expose us.

Not currently comfortable living with cis men.

If you're wanting to chat and figure out if we would be good friends and roommates pls email me: ericajoy4211@proton.me

what you need

cookies that are good crushed or broken up (oreos, chips ahoy, maybe vanilla wafers, any other kind of crumbly sort of thing)
ice cream or non-dairy alternative
milk or non-dairy alternative
something to hold the ingredients (cup, bowl, other container that can be eaten out of)
something to scoop with (this can be a spoon, a bigger straw, maybe even a fork might work)
keep in mind that this will be anywhere from milkshake to smoothie consistency depending on how much liquid you add
you'll need a higher ratio/amount of ice cream to milk
what to do

1.  get your cookie or other thing you can crush/crumble

2. get your milk (or milk like) substance

3. get your ice cream (or ice cream like) substance.

4. deposit your cookie like substance in the container. (if it’s already in a bag, leave it in there and skip to the next step.)

5. crush or crumble the heck out of your cookie like substance with the all the force of a great typhoon. or just until it’s in pieces small enough for you to eat without having to do much chewing.

6. add your crushed/crumbled substance to the container.

7. add your ice cream (or ice cream like substance) to the container.

8. add your milk (or milk like substance) to the container.

9. stir like there’s no tomorrow. or at least until you get tired.
- at this point, the cookie like substance will be at the bottom of your container, so you may have to use some force to get it all mixed.

10. enjoy the fruits of your labor and eat the thing you just made. or you can do an ADHD and immediately forget about it and not remember until 30 minutes later and have more of a melted milkshake texture.

11. that is it, you have done it. give yourself a high five! you made yourself a food!!! i’m so proud of you!

Welp...

Hi. I'm Shavonne aka Shay. And if you're reading this, it means I have finally learned how to ask for help and that I am utterly exhausted from trying to navigate this time in my life without the support I need.

Have you ever gone through a season where things just seem like they won't let up? That no matter how hard you try to come up for air, the waves just keep coming in so fast? That's where I am right now. I am traversing a really difficult storm in my life, and I am searching for lighthouses.

I am organizing this GoFundMe to support my health and well-being at this time. Since all of 2022, I've been suffering silently from ongoing chronic health issues -- some of which people have definitely noticed, but mostly which I've tried to keep private. My grandmother, who served as a second mother to me after I lost my own at 18, also recently redeemed her return ticket back to the cosmos and the compounding grief of all of this has been monstrously heavy...to say the least.

To be honest, ya'll: I am really stressed. I'm really tired. And, sometimes, I just really feel scared. Navigating this time in my life has been the hardest thing I've ever done, and being vulnerable in this way is not easy whatsoever. Losing my mom (and only parent) at 18 forced me to grow up overnight and, along the way, I learned to be freakishly hyper-independent. I was not quite a child, but I certainly was not an adult. Yet, I learned to keep pushing and pushing and pushing, no matter what. (Seriously, I went to school the NEXT day after she died.) I internalized so many unhealthy messages and created a whole paradigm that convinced me I had to figure out life all on my own. That I had to continue being "strong" and never crack in the face of pressure, but right now? I. Am. Cracking.

I realize now that community care IS self-care.

I cannot do this alone. Trust me, I've tried and spoiler alert: it sucks. No one can. I see that now... and perhaps we all do, after these past few years.

Funds that are raised will go directly towards support such as: ongoing medical expenses and healing supplies, cleaning services, meals, therapy, Uber rides, home care, etc.

I know it's a tough time for lots of people, but I truly do appreciate every dollar, every share, and every word of encouragement. I appreciate you even reading this and witnessing me. Asking for help is a muscle that must be strengthened, and mine has been severely underworked for a while now. As my grandma used to always say, "You have not, because you ask not." And she'd be so proud of me for asking.

I want to be here. I want to get better. And I need help in doing so. This is me surrendering.

So, from the deepest depths of my heart, and with immense gratitude:

Hi everyone! My partner and I are in a situation where we need to ask for mutual aid again. For backstory, my partner and I are both disabled. I am visually impaired so all I’ve been able to do is freelance dog-sitting. He is self-diagnosed autistic and has had an on-going arm injury (we think tendinitis) that he can’t get treated because of lack of health insurance. His job is very labor intensive so it causes a lot of stress on his body and mind. His employer has recently cut him down to sometimes only 8 hours per week this month. They’ve been consistently scheduling him less and less without giving him any warning or reasoning. We are scared and don’t know how he’s going to pay his portion of his bills with such little income. He is going to be looking for new employment, doing work on the side, and/or trying to negotiate with his boss, but we are in a tricky situation in the meantime. For now, we’re trying to just get his upcoming car insurance and car payment taken care of which in total is around $600. We appreciate any help we can get.

I’m looking to move to the Richmond, Virginia area around Feb-Mar 2024. I’m a black, fat, asexual, cis woman with OCD and I currently work remotely. I wear masks indoors and outdoors and generally stay away from events without mask requirements.

I’m looking for 2-3 covid cautious roommates to find a single family home or townhouse to rent. I’m hoping to find a place for around $2000/mo so that we each don’t pay more than $670 for rent (hopefully it’ll be less than that). I’m unsure of what utilities cost in the area at this moment.

My hope is that we can work together to continue to survive (and hopefully thrive) in our current conditions. Some of the things I hope to do to facilitate this are

Ordering grocery delivery together and splitting the cost of delivery (not necessarily groceries) to save money

Pooling resources to make sure we have masks, tests, OTC meds, etc. available for everyone in the house (and potentially neighbors if we have the resources)

Have emergency plans in case one/multiple of us get covid (where we isolate, having medication on deck, air purifiers, etc.)

Having our own little garden where we can grow some food/flowers for ourselves and share with neighbors if we have extra

Engaging in community service together in ways that are safe/accessible for all of us

Teaching each other skills that we know (would love to trade knowledge about technical stuff for knowledge about sewing, gardening, 3d printing, etc.)

Most of all, I hope that we can build a supportive environment for each other. Would love to have other BIPOC roommates, but I’m fine living with anyone who has done and continues to do the work to actively disengage from racism, fatphobia, transphobia, homophobia and kyriarchy in general.

If you’re interested, please send me an email at qf1ios60@anonaddy.me

Looking for chronically ill / people still coviding in Denmark? 

# data[].attributes.body
I’m looking to get an idea of what chronically ill, vulnerable, disabled & immunocompromised people who live in Denmark think of Denmark masking situation?

I’m chronically ill and mask everywhere but I have a partner who says the lack of masking in Denmark now is due to the numbers being so low but I don’t know anyone from Denmark who I can confirm this or talk to about it and feel anxious about this. Would super appreciate any general takes from other chronics from Denmark! ❤️

Offers resources on student loans and bail debt. Also has a debtors union to connect with other debtors.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Cancelling student debt is not just totally legal - it's urgently necessary. The Department of Education has full authority to cancel student debt under the 1965 Higher Education Act, which grants the Department of Education the power to "compromise, waive, settle or release" all federal student debt. This online form demands the Department of Education to use that power. Filling out this form creates an individual demand letter, tailored to your own student debt story, calling on the Department of Education to use its powers to cancel not just your debt, but everyone's.
Here's how it works:

You answer some basic questions about your student debt.

Based on your answers, we've created legal language to assert why your loans are BS and should be canceled. Those answers will generate a demand letter.

When you've completed all the questions, the form will get sent automatically to key officials with the power to act at the Department of Education.

When you've completed, pass the link on to your friends, family, colleagues, pick-up soccer league, book club, fantasy football league, everyone. We want to overwhelm the DOE with responses, and we need your help.

Political Ed Series around Transforming Medical Industrial Complex

# data[].attributes.body
Cool opportunity to connect with others who are interested in organizing to address the harms happening in our current "healthcare" system. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Series is online on Zoom. 28th September, 2023 - 2nd November, 2023. Six consecutive Thursdays, 5p - 7p PT // 7p - 9p CT // 8p - 10p ET.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Understanding and Transforming the Medical Industrial Complex:

Part One

Fall Political Ed Series 2023

The pandemic is not over. Our healthcare system is not merely broken; it is functioning as intended, to control, punish, and profit, not to heal. Rising ableism, the normalization of eugenics, and mounting attacks on bodily autonomy and reproductive rights define our times. All these are carried out by the Medical Industrial Complex (MIC). The Health Justice Commons believes we need to build a movement to disrupt and transform the Medical Industrial Complex and create alternatives to the current healthcare system for our futures to be possible. To do these we need to unite disabled, sick, neurodivergent, and chronically ill people, with healthcare workers, healers, and artists and activists from all movements and backgrounds.
Now more than ever, we need just healthcare that truly cares for our bodies, communities, and the planet. This can only come to be by understanding the Medical Industrial Complex's white supremacist, anti-Black, carceral and ableist roots, its ongoing, oppressive workings, and building our communities' capacity to create alternatives. HJC's Fall Political Ed Series offers the learning and the community space to incubate this understanding and capacity while nurturing new connections to build our power. Are you ready to learn, be in community, and take action together? Please join other disabled people, healers, healthcare workers, med and nursing students, climate justice warriors and others working for justice.

Access info: All sessions will provide ASL and English <> Spanish interpretation as well as live closed captioning. All sessions will be recorded (with participant permission) for the use of participants.

WHEN: 28th September, 2023 - 2nd November, 2023. Six consecutive Thursdays, 5p - 7p PT // 7p - 9p CT // 8p - 10p ET.

WHERE: Online via Zoom. Attend from anywhere!

COST: $185 - $285. Work Exchanges and scholarships are available! No one turned away for lack of funds. If you are able, please consider using the 'cover fees option' for your enrollment contribution, as FlipCause detracts credit card fees (like all online payment platforms). We are a small, disabled/crip, and member-run organization, so whatever you can give supports the participation of others with less access to funds. Thank you!!

WORK EXCHANGE/ SCHOLARSHIP: Full and partial scholarships are available! To request a full scholarship or a partial scholarship with a work exchange, please email us at HJCommonsContactUs@gmail.com. Please put: 'Course Work Exchange or Scholarship' in the subject line. Our work exchanges are flexible and tailored to your access needs. No one will be turned away for lack of funds!

ACCESS INFO: All sessions will provide ASL and English <> Spanish interpretation as well as live closed captioning. All sessions will be recorded (with participant permission) for the use of participants.

An in-depth understanding of why we refer to the US and global healthcare system as the Medical Industrial Complex (MIC).

How we got here- a deep dive into the MIC's hidden history in times of pandemic & climate chaos.

Medical Apartheid, the white supremacist roots and the formation of the MIC.

How the MIC is entangled with corporate polluters, big pharma, the military industrial complex and big agro like your worst bad hair day!

How the MIC is inherently carceral and overlaps and is complicit with the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC), and how the MIC criminalizes asylum-seeking communities and immigrants, people seeking and providing reproductive healthcare, and youth and adults seeking and/or providing gender-affirming transgender healthcare.

The 10 principles of Disability Justice as defined by our partner, Sins Invalid, and how to put them into practice in your life and work.

Experiential exercises to 'unlearn' and heal from the deceptive and ableist ways the MIC defines health and worth.

Ways forward to decolonize healthcare. Tools for disrupting and transforming the MIC that you can practice in your own life, work, and communities.

New & updated content for those who participated in prior sessions!

"Understanding and Transforming the MIC Part 1 provided me an opportunity to learn in community, expanded my understanding of health and disability justice and has empowered me to plant seeds of transformation in my local communities." - Sarah

"Although it is absolutely necessary, deepening an understanding of the harms our medical system routinely carries out can bring up feelings of overwhelm / helplessness as well as the shame of realizing you're part of the Medical Industrial Complex. The space provided by this series has been invaluable. The HJC has done the beautiful work of creating community that fosters a fight for change while allowing folks to feel both safe and heard. I look forward to future trainings!" - Rae, Nurse Practitioner
