One of the things I love about the queer community is how we build chosen families. We take care of each other. Preparedness at its core. From Stonewall to the AIDS crisis.

We’re facing scary challenges right now. But we will make it through. Together.

Two shootings unfolded: one in Utah, where Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at UVU, and another at Evergreen High School in Denver, Colorado, where three students were critically injured.

These tragedies may look different on the surface, but at their core is the same urgent reality.

Today, at Utah Valley University in Utah, Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck during his "American Comeback Tour" appearance.
Political differences must never be settled with violence.
Public safety is my priority, and violence is never the answer.

situational awareness = the most underrated prep tool

know your exits
keep one ear open
listen to your gut

being alert ≠ being afraid. it means you’re present.

preparedness = care
not fear

you deserve a plan that reflects who you are, not just where you live.

Who would you check on?

✅ Choose one thing to add to your go-bag

your emergency kit = your meds too.

at Davis County Pride we asked:
“what does preparedness mean to you + your community?”

someone wrote:
“resources from local health department in case of outbreaks like monkeypox.”

queer safety includes health access. no stigma. that’s preparedness too.

crowded event. loud music. sudden emergency.

do you know:
🧠 where to go?
🤝 who to check on?
📱 how to communicate?

talk about it before you need it.

preparedness is care.
care for yourself. your people. your community.

safety isn’t just systems.
it’s making sure no one gets left behind.

preparedness isn’t perfection.
it’s progress.

start with one small step today.
you don’t have to have it all figured out; you just have to care.

your phone flashlight = backup.
you still need the real deal.

✅ flashlight by your bed
✅ one in your bag or car

fire alarm at work. not a drill.
what’s your plan?

🚪 exits
🤝 who needs support
📱 comms if cell towers go down

practice is preparedness.

preparedness ≠ privilege.
preparedness = equity.

we don’t ask if you're ready.
we ask if the system was ever built for you.

#TipTuesday
your go-bag doesn’t need to be perfect.
just keep a small “grab bag” by the door.

✅ ID copies
✅ meds or med list
✅ flashlight
✅ water/snack
✅ comfort item

You deserve to be ready, as you are.
