<div>Hello, I’m Teressa Raiford, executive director of Don’t Shoot Portland, an arts and education organization that uses art as a tool to inform and support children and families affected by violence. I’m reaching out today for the support of a local humanitarian and fine artist who has supported our work and our entire community for almost 80 years. In 2019, <strong>Isaka Shamsud-Din was honored by the city of Portland for his work to bridge history, heritage, and culture in our state</strong>. Today, I am informing and asking for your support as <strong>he enters hospice</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His family is preparing space for him, but with these tasks come large responsibilities, especially for someone whose life has been dedicated to civil rights. Please reflect on the gifts he has shared and place an opportunity to give to this GoFundMe a financial gift for him at his most urgent time. Isaka deserves so much more than we can ask for, but I hope your gift is what is available to support them as they give him the care he deserves. Love and so much respect to everyone who cares about him. Peace to you all.
</div>

In Loving Memory Of Isaka Shamsud-Din

<div>On the night of Wednesday August 14th, my daughter Quan’Naejia standing outside responded to her neighbor informing her that it looked as if her bedroom was on fire. Unfortunately, this was the case. As she seen the flames coming from her bedroom, she called the fire department. Based on the fire departments investigation, the fire started from electrical issue with an AC unit plugged in the wall. She and the children have lost everything. Although the fire started in her bedroom due to the extensive amount of smoke, she has been advised that everything is unsalvageable. She had no rentals insurance. She is on an emotional roller coaster at this time, with the thought of starting from scratch. Our family is providing her with as much support as they can. She is reaching out to the community for any extra help, because this problem is bigger then anyone could ever imagine. She has three children two girls ages 9 and 5, and one son 10 months old who was with her outside the time of the fire. The girls were not home. As money will go towards furnishing her new apartment and any extra clothing and supplies she may need for the kids as she has now stopped working. Any donations provided is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Support Single Mother and Kids After Devasting House Fire

<div>When Amber Carr transitioned she was survived by two beautiful boys Zion (11) and Zayden (7). Zion has expressed anxiety about where he is going to live and wanting the stability of a home. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not the kind of thing an 11 year old should be worried about as he prepares to bury his mother. His Auntie Ashely Carr has agreed to move to Dallas and adopt both boys but they need a house to live in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We can do this for this family together.

A Home for Zion & Zayden

<div> Hi I’m here to introduce Aile and Elijah About their story, Saturday night.<span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';"> T</span><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">he car was being shot towards us as we were on our way to get some food</span><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">. Aile, 18 years old took one </span><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">gun shot to her young body. Unfortunately one of the bullets hit her spine and instantly paralyzed her. Ending the life she knows in a split second. While rushing her to ER my sons car was ruined and also now has bullet holes in it. Aile’s family along with our family are asking for any financial help to get us all thru this situation, as Aile and Elijah can not currently work, and the family needs help to get by while caring for her and being by her side in the hospital. We would like to raise enough money for Aile hospital expenses and more things she’ll need in order to help her move around. Aile </span><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">and Elijah are innocent victims of this senseless gun violence. We have to get justice for Aile. We are asking for any financial relief for the families, even a small amount goes a long way. Prayers are needed as well. Thank you all for caring and taking the time to help.</span>

Hope for Aile and Elijah

<div>Tracy McCarter is a Black mother, grandmother, and trained nurse based in New York City who is being prosecuted by the Manhattan District Attorney for her efforts to survive domestic violence, facing substantial prison time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In March 2020, Tracy was wrongfully arrested and charged with murder after surviving a domestic violence assault during which her abuser died. Despite evidence that she was defending her life, the fact that she was the one who called the police immediately after the incident occurred, and even used her training as a nurse to provide her abuser with medical care, she was arrested and charged with murder, facing 25 years to life in prison. This is not an anomaly. It’s all too common for survivors of domestic violence, especially Black women, to be prosecuted for experiencing domestic violence and daring to survive it. According to one study, 90% of women incarcerated in New York prisons report being survivors of abuse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising money to help Tracy care for herself during this process as we push Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to drop all charges against her. Unfortunately, due to the nature of her charges, Tracy has been blocked from joining her fellow nurses at the front lines of the pandemic and can no longer work to support herself and her family. As a result, we are requesting support in the form of donations to help Tracy live as comfortably as possible as she attempts to heal through this traumatic experience. Financial assistance will help with rent payments, groceries, transportation, utilities, therapy and any other unforeseen emergency expenses.

Support Criminalized Survivor Tracy McCarter

<div>Dear family and friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I fell like it's weird to write one of these for yourself, but I'm just gonna do it so nobody else has to take on the tax liability:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Saturday, August 20th after hosting the Drum &amp; Bass Park Sessions in Pier Park, at about 9:30 pm I was heading home to my wife and kids when I was hit &amp; ran as I headed down Cesar Chavez Blvd... Just as I crossed Ogden St. I was struck on driver-side (T-Boned) by a driver in a stolen car who was being chased by police, sending me hurtling into a stop sign across the intersection. After that, the driver fled the scene and paramedics had to cut me out of my once-beautiful Fire Engine Red Empala :'( ... The suspect was apprehended a few blocks away, police said they had backed off of him and were following him by airplane... They were going to deploy spike strips, but were afraid of causing more damage and they thought he might just slow down eventually... they stated that he is 21 years-old and this is the 3rd time he's "done this".
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anyway, I was rushed to OHSU... I have suffered 3 fractures to my Pelvis (Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch), a break in my left Scapula (shoulder blade), my Clavicle (Collarbone) and multiple rib fractures (I can't breathe!). At this point I am still hospitalized. Thankfully, it does not look like I will need surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My prized 2010 Empala is absolutely totaled and I only had liability insurance, so the likelihood of receiving any money for that is pretty slim. I also had my Bose S1's and my Pioneer 400 Controller in the trunk... They look pretty toast, but I'll try to send them in to see what can be done about them. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's looking like I will be out of work for approximately 8 weeks. I think I have about 200 hrs of Sick time and PTO saved up, so I'm not gonna die automatically, but would apprecate any help the community can muster to alleviate all this chaos. I have health insurance, but I'm already seeing out-of-pocket medical expenses for things like a wheelchair and walker and bathroom navigation stuff start to creep up and I have no idea what the end expenses will look like.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Y'all know I've dedicated my life to helping folks out, whether that be through facilitating music events, doing outreach for people without homes, helping people get the resources they need, or just being a non-judgemental ear. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Anything I get over what I need, you can be assured I will get it to someone who truly needs it. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you in advance for helping out. If you cannot donate, I totally understand. I would appreciate it if you could like, comment, share, etc. to help spread the word. If you'd rather not donate using this platform I take Facebook Pay, I'm $hypeshit on cash app and paypal.me/hypeshit 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Be excellent to each other
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tell your friends you love them.
</div>

Ashanti needs your help!

<div>The eviction came with no time to prepare and I havent been able to dispute it. My landlord pre-leased my apartment without notifying me, and I have 10 days to secure shelter. I don’t know what will happen if I can’t find new living arrangements, but I am as of now facing a displacement I cannot handle financially or physically. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been struggling for the better part of a year with surgical recovery and numerous health issues. I have avoided asking for help, but this situation has me dead in the water. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My car is inoperable, and has two broken windows due to theft, so I also do not have means of transportation. As of this morning I have called a series of apartments to get quotes and ask about vacancies but haven't had any luck finding appropriate housing near my place of work. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am an alum of the Pacific Northwest College of Art , and am a resident artist at P:EAR, assisting in the creative mentorship of houseless youth.
</div>
<div>I have been in portland for 2.5 years, and I unfortunately do not have family here. I have several art exhibitions coming up and need space to work as well. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any help you can offer in funding immediate housing and transportation would make a big difference. I would also be extremely grateful for leads on short term apartments or rooms for lease under $1500. Thank you! I will post updates.

<div>For those of you that may not know, Kahmir was recently arrested and is in jail. Anyone that knows my son knows that he doesn't belong in jail. Kahmir needs to be in a mental health facility where he can get the medication and mental health help he needs. I have hired an attorney to help make sure he's not charged with a felony and is placed in a place that can help him. Every dollar raised is going to pay for his legal fees. Anything over his goal will be used to pay for anything he needs while he's in jail.
</div>
<div>Thank you all in advance for any help you can provide. Every little bit helps and his family and I greatly appreciate it. 
</div>

Help Kahmir get the help he deserves

<p><br />Hello everybody. I usually never reach out to the community for any support or resources but I feel hopeless and these fees associated with her damages are going to be PARAMOUNT. Traecy is a blessing from god, joyful, well spoken and she deserves the world. Our daughter was playing in the parking lot on her seventh birthday and a vicious pitbull got loose and immediately mauled her. It bit her collarbone area first and then drug her back towards his house and then attacked her face all in about 10-20 seconds. She was immediately rushed to Doerenbechers where they performed emergency plastic surgery on her mouth to reconstruct her lip.

This attack was completely unprovoked and the dog got loose. I want to give Traecy the best 8th birthday we can offer and we can’t do it alone. Anything helps and my family and I are grateful. I welcome everyone to follow Traecys recovery journey as it will be in progress for the next year. She will need two more reconstructive surgeries and a lot of rehab.

His unimaginable, sudden, and tragic death has left many heart-wrenched and feeling empty not knowing the full details, as his death remains under investigation. We remain steadfast in our faith and pray for strength, spiritual healing, and justice.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>A born nurturer, a lover of animals, and a devoted and proud healthcare worker, Jeff lived with his parents and was always there to support them. We hope to take a little piece of his legacy and step in to support his parents at this moment. The daunting task of funeral and burial arrangements is unbearable and the potential cost is overwhelming to his parents who are retired. Needless to say, they were not prepared for the high cost of a funeral, and during this difficult time we are reaching out to family, friends, and the community for assistance.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Please consider supporting Jeff's parents, Danny and Candy Ramirez, by donating what you can, as any amount will help. It would mean a lot to his parents if you could share this fundraiser with others who knew him as well.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Thank you for taking the time to read this and we truly appreciate your consideration.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>In God's grace

It is a small 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house with enough room to make a sweatlodge for our healing. <br />We will have more resources in a couple years and we will be able to pay it forward then until then we are asking for assistance getting this home.<br />My daughter, Citlalli is a junior at a school in the Portland school district. She wants to be a fire fighter.  Every since Standing Rock we have been on the frontlines on the anti-pipeline and antifascist trail in the U.S. and Canada. Before that we lived on the Yakama Reservation for 15 years, we are not Yakama tribal members our close relatives are.  We are Mestiza from the Nahua people of the southern part of North America.  We are members of the Native American Church, a ceremony from Mexico, I've attended these ceremonies for the most important times of my life in the last 2.5 decades. <br />I was raised in Siletz, Oregon and that is where my son, nieces, daughter in law and grandchildren are all enrolled tribal members with the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians. When I pass away the house will go to my son.

<div>I have been an Indignous activist in Portland since 2019. It might be a coincidence but ever since Trump tweeted "lock these animals up" referring to Indigenous activists in Portland, my full legal name was included in that tweet. I got arrested by feds 6 times after that tweet. I did not have any federal arrests until after that tweet by the POTUS. Could be hard core MAGA in DHS focusing on me? It is very likely I was one of the playing cards passed around to law enforcement to learn our names and faces. <br /><br />For over a year I was frequently violently arrested protesting ICE in Portland. I hung a piñata up to call attention to the 1000 kids who have not seen their parents since I took them in 2018. I hung up red dresses for MMIW (missing and murdered indigenous women) I went on a couple marches for Rosenda Strong who went missing near my home when I lived in Toppenish, WA.  At ICE I did an "Aztec" Mexica Danza called Tletl. I danced Tletl because the federal officers purposely destroyed an altar that was made by Warm Springs tribal members. I danced it to make things right with the altar and for that I was shot with LTL's and arrested. I still have medical bills and ambulance bills coming in directly from police brutality. I protest at ICE because they did surgeries on women with out their consent. I protest at ICE because children were sexually assaulted inside ICE contract facilities in a "systematic manner." I protested at ICE because they deport veterans for a traffic violation.  When I could no longer protest at ICE my daughter Citlalli started organizing in her high school with other Indigenous students and they held a rally at ICE to protest the atrocities ICE has committed throughout the years. 2002 her father was locked up in ICE for months until finally they let him out because he was a U.S. citizen the entire time.<br />The trial for protesting ICE is stressful. The last time I protested there I was injured the worse out of all of the police brutality I ended up in an ambulance. I was too afraid to protest at ICE but my daughter started to plan protests at ICE. We are looking for support for the upcoming trial February 8, 2022.<br />It is going to take a lot to heal from the last arrest because it wasn't just the arrest it was the extreme hatred for protesters at the jail. It is almost a guaranteed the guards are going to abuse us in some manner. I was abused several times in "use of force" bs situations.  It made knowing I was in there just on a cops bs word. We are hoping to move for a safer place to live I have been doxxed for a long time. I haven't received very many threats recently but in the past it got to a stressful point with my address and my parents address floating around the internet. 
</div>

<div>Not only did I get targeted once by Trump, I was targeted by Andy Ngo and then Ted Wheeler picked up Andy Ngo's talking points about me with out any verification reported me to the media as some sort of rioter when the truth is I have been filming protests and making wrap up video of each one and then posting them on social media. The bigger the account got I think the more attention is summoned from law enforcement. Like I can't express myself through video or try to process the trauma through framing the video. Some of my videos were played in congress and played a part in expelling BORTAC. Some of my videos went viral making the cops not look so hot that also caused me to become targeted more by all sides. These last few years have been the most difficult of my lifetime.

Help Indigneous Water Protectors

<div>Amber Carr is the sister of #AtatianaJefferson who was shot through her bedroom window by a Texas police officer while playing video games with her nephew, Amber’s then 7 year old son, October 12, 2019.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>On December 15, 2021 the judge presiding over the case against the former cop that shot her to death decided to move the trial yet again. Her family will have gone almost 3 years without justice for Atatiana while her killer [Aaron Dean] walks free.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>On the day the court made this decision Amber suffered a massive heart attack and flatlined before she was resuscitated. She was not expected to survive. Miraculously, Amber recovered and was even released from the hospital a few days after admission.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>She returned home to a stolen car, a bank account that had been emptied by fraud and two children who were anxious and restless during the holiday season. Her anxiety levels caused a panic attack that resulted in her re-hospitalization.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Lets show Amber there is a community that has her back.<br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/60966471_1640788896541170_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="60966471_1640788896541170_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/60966471_1640788956477803_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="60966471_1640788956477803_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/60966471_1640789095108174_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="60966471_1640789095108174_r.jpeg" />

<p class="p1" style="line-height:normal;"><span class="s1">My name is Kamala and I have been friends with Palesa’s adoptive mom, Kendall - aka Mme Makie for over 35 years. We met when I was in undergrad and she was my drama professor. Since then, we kept in touch, and Kendall was even the photographer for my wedding in 2015. When Palesa passed away, Kendall reached out to me and a few other friends asking us to brainstorm a way to help support the two children and sister her daughter had left behind. One member of the group suggested a fundraiser. Stricken with grief and not in a position to implement the plan herself, we all took responsibility for specific tasks - I agreed to head up the fundraising effort. To that end, I have opened a beneficiary/donation account for Relebohile, Palesa’s sister, who will raise the children, at Wells Fargo. Funds will be transferred on a monthly basis from the account to her bank in South Africa, as she has indicated it’s far too risky and dangerous for her to receive a large amount of money in a lump sum. Funds raised will be used for Katleho’s (15) school tuition and expenses, Kamohelo’s (1) daycare costs so that Lebo can continue to work, monthly food costs, and household expenses. Additionally, should Lebo find herself with unexpected expenses for the children, they will be transferred to her as she requests. While I will oversee the funds transfers initially, I am in search of another entity that can provide this service for the long term, as the need for transfers is expected to last more than 10 years. Thankfully, it seems we will raise enough to provide care for that extended amount of time and beyond! Please read below a story of Palesa, written by Mme Makie. Thank you all who have given!</span>

</p>

<p class="p1" style="line-height:normal;"><span class="s1"><br /></span>

</p>

<p>Palesa’s way in the world was loud, generous, and punctuated with laughter. Her energy, voice, rage, and stories were all big. When she was hospitalized with typhoid as a child, she was given a doll and a woolen pashmina for comfort and warmth. She left every child in the pediatric ward with a rag she ripped from the pashmina and some piece of that doll (a foot, a leg, an eye, a hank of hair). She shared whatever she had: that’s who she was.


</p>


<p><br />
</p>


<p>​She was born in Lesotho in 1984 and met her adoptive mom, Kendall (Mme Makie) when she was 7. They lived in Lesotho, Pietermaritzburg, New Orleans, and Houston. They loved each other fiercely, but Palesa had an older, deeper bond with her biological sister, Relebohile (Lebo) who had remained with their biological mother.


</p>


<p><br />
</p>


<p>​When Palesa was away from Lebo, she dreamed of her;  she heard Lebo calling; she fainted for no medical reason; she was hospitalized for puzzling illnesses. She was homesick for her sister. Home for Palesa was where Lebo was, and when she was 18, Palesa returned to South Africa.


</p>


<p><br />
</p>


<p>​Mme Makie bought them a shack to live in, and continued to support her in any way she needed. Palesa used money she received to continue her education. When Palesa began working at a home for the elderly, Lebo got a job as a security guard at the same place. They trained together as traditional healers. Palesa’s daughter Kamohelo is one year old; Lebo’s daughter is 10 months. Palesa also has a son, Katleho, 15.


</p>


<p><br />
</p>


<p>​Palesa was struggling with an illness that affected her lungs when the food riots began on July 10, 2021. People, jobless and desperate, fed up with government corruption, began taking what they needed from grocery stores and warehouses. Fury grew; I frustration, the people set buildings on fire.


</p>


<p><br />
</p>


<p>​Palesa texted Mme Makie on July 12, “yooo south africa is going mad, but don’t worry, I am safe I am scared about food and medication.”


</p>


<p>​July 13: “Mom South Africa is going down with hunger and no jobs for a lot of people because they burned the supermarket what are we going to do about food and medication?” Frantically, Mme Makie texted back. No answer.


</p>


<p><br />
</p>


<p>​On July 16 Palesa sent her last text: “Water yes, no medication bcs the clinics are closed no food.”


</p>


<p>​Lebo texted Mme Makie on July 18, “Hey Makie, Palesa passed away today it’s Relebohile.”


</p>


<p><br />
</p>


<p>​Palesa may have died of Covid. The clinic she attended called it a “lung infection.” She was unable to access food and medication for a week, and though she struggled mightily to survive in order to protect her children, she lost.


</p>


<p><br />
</p>


<p>​Lebo will make a home for Palesa’s two children with her child. For that, she needs help. We are raising money to set up a Trust to make it possible for Lebo to finish educating Katleho and to care for Palesa’s baby and her own. [The Trust will be administered by a reliable fiduciary in the USA who will maintain transparency and accountability for all funds].

Wish. This has been a wild and unpredictable 11 months. Crazy to think we thought we’d only be here 2 months.
</p>

<p>10/20<br />UPDATE:<br />What started out as a “2 month NICU stay” has quickly turned into a 4 month stay, and to be honest we don’t know when we’ll make it home. Our Ziba has hit a lot of speed bumps, and although she is making it over them they have slowed down our journey. Her lung disease is a bit worse than we had anticipated and it’s looking like she’ll be coming home with a trach. Just needing a little extra support to get us throughthis next stretch!<br />Thank you *so* much to all of you who have contributed in any way. We couldn’t do this without ya’ll. 
</p>

<p><br /><br />I’m not good at this sort of thing, but I know it takes a village.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>As you all know, I *was* 6 months pregnant about a week ago. What none of us knew, was that in addition to being pregnant, I was severely anemic and dealing with a nasty case of preeclampsia, which culminated in early delivery. My daughter, Ziba, was born on 6/17/2021 at a gestational age of 25 weeks and 2 days. She is what science likes to call, a micro-preemie, weighing in at less than a pound.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>My higher risk pregnancy had already made it difficult for me to work, but with Ziba’s unexpected delivery via emergency c-section, remaining preeclampsia symptoms, and now, a lengthy stay in the NICU, it will be impossible for me to work, for at least, the next two months. 
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>After taking a week off of work my partner, Danridge, has had to return.  And even with him working, we still need support to make sure we can keep up with all of life’s responsibilities. The money raised will go towards rent, utilities, gas-to-and from NICU, medical bills, and food for the next three months, while Ziba and I build up our strength for the journey home.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>Ziba has been in the NICU for a week now, and it is terrifying. There is <strong>nothing</strong><em> </em>that can prepare you for life in the NICU. But my Ziba is such a strong girl, and as her mama, it’s my job to be strong as well. So here I am, pride aside, asking for what we need to survive.
</p>

<p> 
</p>

<p>I’d like to thank you all in advance, for your love and support, during the hardest time we’ve ever had to deal with, for I know we won’t be able to survive without it.
</p>

<p>O Siem! Si saq Siem! Hul q' min num! Huy c' qua!
</p>

<p>My name is <strong>Lana Jack</strong>, and <strong>I NEED YOUR HELP</strong> to <strong>GET MY BUTT</strong> to <strong>WASHINGTON D.C.!!!</strong>
</p>

<p>I have been invited to join the <strong>House of Tears Carvers</strong> and the <strong><a href="https://nativeorganizing.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Native Organizers Alliance</a></strong>  on <strong><a href="https://redroadtodc.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Red Road to DC</a></strong> , a cross-country journey that will deliver a 24-foot Totem Pole from the coastal Salish Lummi Nation to Washington DC, stopping at nine Sacred Sites along the way.<br /><br /><strong>I am asking for your help to get me on the Road to DC!</strong> I need money to repair my vehicle before I can even start the journey, and <strong>TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!</strong> I also need money for food, gas, lodging, and general travel expenses for this incredible opportunity to <strong>SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER.</strong> I need to get my wisdom in front of the decision makers of this country!
</p>

<p>The Totem represents several <strong>CRITICAL ISSUES THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED BY THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION</strong>, including: <strong>Protecting Sacred Sites, Honoring Treaties, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirits, Truth and Reconciliation, </strong>and<strong> Protecting Water.</strong>
</p>

<p><strong>It is my calling to speak Truth to Power, and I am uniquely qualified to speak about each of these issues.</strong>
</p>

<p>I am one of the last remaining survivors of my Mother's people, the <strong>Celilo Wy'am.</strong> We are a band of Columbia River Indians that <strong>refused to join the confederated reservations, and have therefore been denied our Federal rights to tribal sovereignty, self-determination, and the ability to practice our traditional way of life on our sacred lands and waters.</strong> We hold aboriginal title to <strong>Celilo Falls</strong>, a Sacred fishing site that was drowned and silenced by the Army Corps of Engineers when they dammed the Columbia River in 1957 -- <strong>a blatant violation of existing treaty negotiations.</strong> My people were separated, assimilated, and exterminated by boarding schools, institutions, and policies set by the United States government, and <strong>the slow genocide continues to this day.</strong>
</p>

<p>My father's people, the Cowichan of Vancouver Island, B.C., suffered through the traumatic <strong>Truth and Reconciliation</strong> process imposed on them by the Canadian Government. This effort caused more harm than healing to the First Nations people of Canada. We must not repeat these same mistakes in America. <strong>It is absolutely critical that Indigenous Voices lead Truth and Reconciliation efforts in the United States.</strong>
</p>

<p>My journey with <strong><a href="https://redroadtodc.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Red Road to DC</a> </strong> begins <strong>July 10</strong> on Vashon Island, WA, and we will arrive in our nation's capitol on <strong>July 29</strong>, where the totem will be displayed at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. This is an historic opportunity to <strong>TAKE ACTION</strong> and <strong>MAKE REAL CHANGE</strong>, especially with <strong>Deb Haaland - the first Native American Cabinet secretary - leading the Department of the Interior</strong>, which oversees the Bureau of Indian Affairs. <strong>THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!<br /><br />THANK YOU FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE!!!</strong>

<div>With more modalities to come
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have already started serving our communities and our books are full, but we need administrative support right now. Healthcare clinics have high upfront overhead costs, but much of our income comes through insurance checks which can take up to 3 months to a year for us to receive. Your help could be the bridge we need for Hey Doc Clinic to operate at its best. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Not only is the overhead cost high, but over the “Thanksgiving” holiday weekend, we experienced a break-in. Close to $9,000 of equipment we had invested in was stolen. Your help could be the bridge we need while we wait for insurance assistance to recover from that loss. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want to be a model for how to build an inclusive healthcare space, but we need your help. We still need to hire and pay front desk staff. Can you give $50, $100, $500, or $1000 today?

On 3/15/2021 a tragic fire occurred taking the life of Ericka Smith “Branch”. This fire occurred in the home of Darien Taylor. Not only did Darien lose her mother, she lost her and her children’s home and all their possessions. I am setting this GFM account up in hopes of easing the financial burden that this tragedy has bought on. Please donate to help Darien, Cayden and Aundrell Jr. lay her mother, and their grandmother to rest and reestablish them.

Hello all and thank you for stopping by!<br />My dear friend Alisha Carter is an amazing activist who has been on the front lines every single day- She is a Black single mama -  An Elementary school teacher (who recently lost her contract due to COVID), and now Live Streamer.  Alisha has been putting out fires- cleaning up destruction- and feeding and caring for the homeless youth downtown.  She literally attends 2-3 protests a day.  Alisha is working hard to show the world what BLM is all about. She is a very dedicated and devoted Mama and her dream is to attend the March in DC on the 27th of August.  <br />Alisha's Live streams are engaging, she takes the viewers with her and speaks truth and wisdom, she is a light in this world, and refuses to give up. When she is there, Alisha will Live stream the event and take you along with her. She really does deserves to be there. <br /><br />After some research, we figured she only needs $1500 for round trip and accommodations-  won't you help her make her dream come true? <br /><br />A small donation will go a long way. We are only fundraising for the trip,<strong> but if you would like to contribute more to this hard-working proud single mama, please do so!! </strong> She like many of us is hustling to get by during this very difficult time and under this cruel administration. Please help in any way you can.  Donate, share, comment with words of encouragement- let us harness our power and get her there!!

Hi and thanks for the time!!!!<br /><br /><br />FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR 100% VALIDATION of all my work, please view me at @PDXcarmedic on Twitter. I have all donations ive done, people ive helped, pictures of donations, etc etc.<br /><br /><br />I've been on the frontlines of the Portland Black Lives Matter Protests/Rallies/Marches since day one.<br /><br />I've been dedicated to giving out free water, pizza, snacks, and 1st aid to the Portland Black/BIPOC community for 67 days and going now.<br /><br />From day 1-50 I asked for ZERO donations and donated 1.2k on my own. Being a 100% disabled US Air Force Veteran, it was impossible to keep that going.<br /><br />On day 50 I officially started taking donations and from day 50-67 I have (with the GREAT help) have donated over 7k+ more in free water, donuts, pizza, etc etc to the Portland communities and peacefull protestors in 17 days.<br /><br />Last week I even brought something out called an Umbrellacrosse Stick to protest my brothers and sisters thats been seen even in the Washington Post now<br /><br />I would like to create a MOBILE Hydration Station for the greater Portland, Seattle, PNW region for continued BLM support. I would like to rent an RV for just me and my service   and travel the I-5 corridor from Seattle to Salem ish and just continue giving out free water/pizza/snacks and support for the BLM movement/community events in this region.<br /><br />I'm putting the request at 15k as that would rent an RV from now at least through September (or even buy a cheaper RV) + fund all the FREE  water, beverages, and food thats given out.<br /><br />If this makes more the funds, it would go to possibly a slightly safer/dog friendly rv then the rest will be distributed locally to Dont Shoot PDX, an organization the same in the Seattle area, and well as a national BLM organization for equal distribution. <br /><br />Attached is a picture of one of my Umbrellacrosse Sticks from the 7/30/20 protest/rally downtown Portland.<br /><br />Any questions please ask and thanks for the support.<br /><br />Fight on Black/BIPOC friends!!!<br /><br /><br />- <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/50147976_1596482732677576_r.jpeg" alt="50147976_1596482732677576_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />PDX Hydration Station

***Thank you so much for your outpouring of love and support for our beloved Shai'India.  We have met the initial goal for the funeral.  All continued donations will be used towards hiring an attorney to support a foundation in her name and for our ongoing work to support our family and loved ones through this time.  <br /><br />It is with deepest sorrow we are announcing the passing of our daughter Shai'India.  She lost her young, beautiful, talented and treasured life on July 10, 2020.  Shai graduated from Parkrose high school last month, with so many plans in her bright future.  She touched the lives and hearts of all she met.  Family and friends, new and old gathered at her vigil Friday evening sharing the memories that will never be forgotten for us left here.   Shai enjoyed eating seafood, finding beautiful views and living her life to the fullest everyday.  Shai knew and loved God, and this alone allows us to accept Gods path for her and us.  Luke 23:43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” <br /><br />It is not the order of life for a parent to bury our child.  We did not prepare for such horrific circumstances because it is all but unbelievable until today when we woke up to revisit the nightmare that had happened yesterday and that we had to live again today.  Today we found the perfect place to lay our baby to rest.  It is under a beautiful tree, perfectly groomed, with a unobstructed view of Portland, next to her beloved Uncle and Grandmother.  <br /><br />We are creating this gofundme page to help pay for Shai's Funeral and Burial.  <br /><br />Shai was in a domestic violence relationship that led to her murder.  It is through her memory that the family would like to begin a non-profit in her name.  The movement will be to empower and educate our youth, finding their voices and their strengths  and being a resource to assist any young person who is the victim or survivor of domestic abuse.  Any additional funds raised beyond funeral costs will go directly to this fund.<br /><br />God Bless<br />Mary Ingram  Sam Howard and Sharnell Harris<br /><br />A wife who loses a husband is called a widow.<br />A husband who loses a wife is called a widower.<br />A child who loses his parents is called an orphan.<br />There is no word for a parent who loses a child.<br />That’s how awful the loss is.<br />– Jay Neugeboren – An Orphan’s Tale – 1976

Hi my name is Tatii I’m from Seattle! I’m a friend to Diaz. Diaz was seriously injured after protesting nearly everyday for Black Lives Matter. While protesting on the freeway a car entered the freeway on an exit ramp and intentionally hit Diaz and one other.  Diaz has been in the hospital recovering and dealing with two broken legs and other injuries. When they are well enough to get out they will need to stay in Seattle for future doctor appointments. Unfortunately Diaz was staying in their car to support the Black Lives Matter movement here in Seattle. We are trying to raise a years worth of rent, also including utilities and the down payment. The money from this campaign will all go towards Diaz’s living expenses for their apartment here in Seattle.

JUSTIN HAS BEEN FOUND!

In light of recent events and due to the lack of sufficient funds this campaign had raised for the dozens of people who work for The Comedy Bar in Chicago, we have decided to pivot our resources toward a single goal: Finding and helping Justin Cosby and his family.

Justin Cosby is an incredible young man, comedian, and Comedy Bar staff member who was expressing himself legally and peacefully at the George Floyd protests downtown Chicago Saturday May 30th. Justin was in a part of the city that, because of police blockades, upturned bridges, and public transit shutdowns, was almost impossible to safely and legally leave without running into police. He was last seen being dragged away by up to 10 police officers (pictured) after an incredibly controversial curfew was enacted by our city's mayor, Lori Lightfoot. We do not currently know his whereabouts, condition, or ability to communicate those two things. 

If anyone seeing this has information on Justin's location or condition, please email [email redacted]. If you would like to aid in the search for him, please call his alderman Pat Dowell and demand his release at (773) [phone redacted], (312) [phone redacted], and [phone redacted].
