Rather than simply talking about horrible responses to the flooding in Texas, let's share some vetted and trusted avenues for support, and donate if we can. Hands Off Central TX is raising funds and resources for mutual aid including housing, food, transportation (gas), and medical needs.

Why is this happening?
It's a question many are asking.
👉If I do one thing, I hope it's getting across how news deserts underlie the decline in our democracy.
They are where: pubic officials have no checks, there's a lack of civic engagement, more risk of corruption at the local level.
