Help Robert Relocate (and Keep Us All Printing!)

Donation protected
Help Robert relocate! Robert is starting a new chapter as an inland printer. The riso community is so lucky to have an independent tech who works on vintage machines. He's patient, a great teacher, an amazing problem solver, and an artist-friendly riso repair tech who can bring any riso back to life. Robert has been itinerant for several months, often providing repairs in exchange for room and board, or whatever a community printshop can offer at the time. It's time to start a new chapter with a secure and cozy home base in Minneapolis. Many community print spaces would not exist without Robert's goodwill, endless patience, and extensive riso knowledge base. Let's show him some love!

Robert needs:
$3000 - truck rental to move cross country + gas
$1000 - security deposit and apartment app fees
$4000 - four months of rent + utilities in Robert's new place while he finds a part-time job!

About Robert's new home:
Robert will be integrated into a community print shop he helped build, the Workshop for Independent Publishing in Minneapolis, MN. He will continue to be involved in the Midwest Queer & Trans Zine Fest! Robert will also continue to fly to both the east and west coast for repairs as often as possible, take virtual riso repair calls, and offer riso service plans that are incredibly reliable and (if we do say so) incredibly affordable.
