So far, we've distributed 8000 in winter supplemental income payments to the ~200 general Lysistrata members since International Day to End Violence Against SWs and are in good shape to stay on our quarterly payment system for March, and we are already grant writing for the next cycle in the summer.

We've been quiet lately while we work on assessing what's safe for public communication where, working on ways to tighten up some security, and doing internal structuring work but the work continues as conditions deteriorate quickly!
Image 1, a screenshot from @ PenGwenwithLC reads: I'm going to be very blunt about this. We are going to see a LOT more people in need of mutual aid to cover food between the soaring food prices and the last vestiges of our societal safety nets being dismantled. People are going to starve without community support. Image 2, a screenshot from @ TheRealJChubby reads: Nothing should radicalize people more than seeing Trump blow through all the barriers Democrats always said were stopping them from delivering meaningful change. Image 3, screenshot from @ allie.gay reads: You need to understand that in 11 days, Trump has advanced anti-transgender policies to near genocidal intensity. Passports have been denied. ID documents confiscated. Banned Trans medicine from those >19y. Essentially banned Trans people from using the bathroom. Image 4, screenshot from @ wyden.senate.gov reads: NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Our Pueblo folks are out today with @projectapollopueblo responding to the sweep along Fountain Creek this week where they'll be clearing several of the city's most populated encampents, leaving only the location closest to our drop in.

URGENT UPDATE!!! We're having an issue with our bank account (again 😫). We're hoping the issue will be resolved in the next few weeks and we're working on a solution to catch up on current requests over the next few days that will keep some funds moving while this gets sorted. Please bear with us while we problem solve! We've been trying not to route donations through the payment apps but for the next week or two direct donations via cashapp https://cash.app/$LysistrataMCCF Or Paypal https://www.paypal.me/lysistratamccf would be really helpful while we wait for a resolution

🚨📢 One last urgent call for help replenishing the emergency fund before we get back to working through the crowdunding list!!! Help us by liking, sharing, and commenting or donating you'll be entered into our Giving Tuesday book giveaway!

We are still very low on funds and are having to wait list people right now. We will respond to folks to complete verification or confirm payment info as funds become available Here is how we are prioritizing people for funds until we are able to resume our normal operations: 1. Referrals from groups we partner with to vouch for street based workers 2. New requests from gender marginalized people and/or POC located in areas without local cash resources and/or who would have a difficult time accessing funds from groups who are less flexible with what SW verification they accept (if you are a worker with an established online presence please consider reaching out to other similar resources) 3. Members in good standing who have been waiting a minimum of 3 months from the DATE of their last emergency amount If you'd like to help us get a balance back into the fund please help us out by sharing or donating if you can!!!
