Shhhhhh… don’t look now, but the mighty community of readers and lovers that Erin Boyle and I get to hang around with thanks to our newsletters has raised $24,700 to help pay rent for neighbors in Minnesota facing eviction*.

Want to know a fun fact about $24,700? It’s, like, soooooooo close to $25,000. Which means of course, YOU ALL, WE CAN GET THERE.

Here’s all you need to do:

1. 1. click the link here and pay some rent!

2. 2. Then DM either me or Erin with your donation total so we can add to the total.

3. 3. Know that your money is going to be literally personally delivered from one Minnesota neighbor to another, because goddamnit that’s literally how we get free you all and oh crap I really am tearing up right now.

*Why are people facing eviction? Because they’re scared to go to work because there are gun thugs in their city pulling Black and Brown people off the road at random and no work= no paycheck= no home for your family and damnit that’s a structural project and we’re working on it but right now let’s also be good loving people.

**So many others have also made pitches to their newsletter communities to help out Katherine Goldstein and Laura Fenton, thank you, and Amanda Montei and Tracy Clark-Flory I haven’t listened to your livestream from yesterday yet but I hear a rumor you shouted it out too (I know there have been others I’m missing- feel free to remind me). TO EVERYBODY WHO HAS HELPED, THANK YOU! The total number raised is much, much larger than $24,300 but that’s just the numbers people have personally reported to me and Erin Boyle and isn’t that so cool????
