The Crisis: Right now, our neighborhood is facing a critical window. Families are being separated, and community members who are stepping up to document and observe these actions are doing so without basic safety equipment. The threat shifts daily from weather to right wing infiltration and doxxing, to escalating insane behavior toward observers including intentional vehicular danger, assault, arrest, and abduction, as well as violent and chemical warfare.
Our local, tax funded channels for emergency assistance are either unwilling or unable to assist.
The Solution: We are a neighborhood-based rapid response team. Our goal is to ensure that no neighbor or volunteer has to face this crisis without protection. We are raising funds to supply our neighborhood and community members with much needed supplies to protect ourselves and our neighbors from ongoing and escalating threat, and the tools we need to stand our ground and hold the line for our city.
What your donation buys:
Survival gear: Gas masks, handwarmers, eyewash stations, EMT gear, tools to help us keep track of each other and deliver aid, protection from LRAD.
Humanitarian Survival: Hand warmers, thermal blankets, and high-calorie food packs for neighbors in crisis and volunteers on overnight shifts.
Documentation & Safety: High-visibility vests for legal observers, N95 masks for health/anonymity, dashcams, SD cards, chargers, and portable power banks to ensure every incident is recorded.
Rights & Resources: Bulk printing of "Know Your Rights" cards in Spanish, English, Hmong, and Somali and emergency first aid trauma kits.
As this continues, needs will progress, and supply needs will shift. Cash and gift card donations will help us to be able to adapt to new needs quickly.
Transparency & Safety: To protect the safety of our organizers and the vulnerable families we serve, this fund is managed by a designated Supply Captain. We will post regular updates with what your donations are purchasing so you can see exactly where your donations are going.
We are not calling for violence. We are calling for the survival and dignity of our neighbors. We keep us safe.
