A virginia neighbor shared with us that their family's phone bill was behind enough that service got cut off. Phone service is huge for navigating life in current year, if they have service they can be in a better position to stay on top of other bills.

The community led town hall that we had been invited to has shifted dates! It is now going to be JULY 31st to better accommodate the schedules of some of the city officials that had been invited. Which is great, this gives us more time to get the word out. tricitiesmutualaid.org/community-le...
