Help Activist Hank Adams' Prescription/Life Costs
Donation protected
There is no retirement plan for activists, even activists as necessary to human rights/Native people/the Treaty Rights fight as Hank Adams has always been. Adams' was a part of the original activism that was the spark that lit the fire of Alcatraz and Wounded Knee and continues to burn with Native resistance worldwide. From somehow getting Marlon Brando and Dick Gregory to stand in solidarity with Native people over treaty rights--even to the point of getting arrested in solidarity--to marching with Martin Luther King, Jr. and helping draft the 21 Point Position Paper that was the infrastructure of The Trail of Broken Treaties, Adams has directly affected every single Native Nation and Native person. Adams' activism caused Vine Deloria Jr. to call him the most important Indian of the past 60 years.
Now, after devoting his entire lifetime to Native nations, Native sovereignty and Native people, Adams' health is, quite frankly, not good. He's pretty much homebound and not able to get out to lecture or otherwise generate revenue right now. We hope that his health recovers so that he can continue to provide his big ideas and guidance. In order to do that, Adams has a pretty hefty list of prescriptions he must be able to meet. In addition to the prescriptions, he just needs a little bit extra as he has to relocate from his home to another home. He has his usual rent, but because he has not been able to generate any income, he will struggle mightily with the deposit and first and last month's rent. All of that combined will add up to approximately $2800 dollars, but I just rounded up to $3000 because...heck, in exchange for his lifetime of service he deserves to have a little bit extra to buy some smokes or some gas money.
I've never put together one of these fundraisers in my life and would not do so unless it was for someone who helped make this world a better place for us all; Hank Adams is one such individual. Thank you much.
