i don't want to disrupt the perfectly imperfect vibe which i absolutely adore, but i'm feeling quite helpless here in nyc where i've had the privilege of living extremely protected for fifteen years and can't really comprehend what people are experiencing in more conservative areas right now. i'm wanting to put my energy and attention into something useful and helpful and am a big believer in local politics and action, but also am wanting to do something on a local level outside of new york. does anyone have thoughts? any local politicians or organizations in battleground or red states that need support? any individuals on this app looking at loss of access to healthcare or other aid that we can rally around on PI or beyond? i've felt absolutely frozen this month and i do think it's important that people take a breath before facing the reality but i'm nauseous at the idea of being passive right now... sooooooooo yeah would love to chat with anyone outside of my normal circle about this. <3
