We have been prioritizing this type of work to be as ready as possible for circumstances like this and we could have been so much more ready with more resources, but it isn't too late to support community based cash distribution systems heavily now!

Please consider this a key time to set up monthly donations if you don't already, our membership is 67% LGBTQIA, 79% PoC, 74% Chronically ill/Disabled, 62% houseless /housing instable, 45% parenting/caregiving members & it is made up of the exact people they are trying to cut off from resources.

This rapid escalating of conditions cutting people off from their benefits means that if we can pull together the funds to do larger and more frequent payments, these next few months especially are a key time to do so.

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.

On top of this, we're 2 months behind on covering emergency fund amounts for Whose Corner Is It Anyway members while their own fundraising struggles in addition to the stacked up requests from the last couple of weeks requests haven't been processed.

If we wait until enough recurring donations to come through to reopen the fund it'll be at least another week or two, leaving us several more weeks that we won't be able to do referrals for street based @p.m.gran.te drop in recipients and we're also short to cover $20 stipends at tomorrow's drop in.

The only donations our fundraiser has recieved in the past two weeks have been the handful hustled in person at Pueblo Pride by the same member who does all of our volunteer admin in addition to the on the ground work here.
