Tomorrow: Community potluck picnic, market, time bank

Tomorrow at Ashley Oakland park, 10-1, join the Iowa Time Bank for a free potluck, games, hangout, and market meetup.

What's a time bank? It's a way for us to get through hard economic times as a community, by taking care of each other directly, without exchanging dollars. We will explain it and demonstrate how it works at tomorrow's picnic. You can also read more on our website: https://ringsnetwork.org

RSVP's are helpful, but not required.

Hope to see you there!

PROTEST the Iowa Family Leadership Summit.

"The Iowa Family Leader is Iowa's premier Christian Nationalist organization. They are responsible for many of the worst bills of the last ten years, attacking the wall of church/state separation, scapegoating minorities, stripping Iowans of their civil rights, and inserting their personal dogma into laws that everyone must follow.

Iowa Atheists and Freethinkers objects. We will be there to protest their theocratic assault on the Constitutions of the United States and Iowa.

Their speakers include Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Governor Reynolds, Zach Wahls, Ashley Hinson, Fake Historian David Barton, CEO of the Family Leader Bob Vender Plaats, Steve Deace, and some twit from TPUSA.

There is power in numbers. Please join us if you can. We will gather at 4 PM this Friday July 17, on Crocker street just north of the Community Choice Convention Center.

Hope to see you there."

Support for DV mom and two kids

I am trying to help a woman who left a domestic situation, she has two kids and they are currently in a hotel. PHC told us today that they cannot help cover the cost (they helped during the heat wave), and all of the DV shelters I’ve called said they cannot help house her because they don’t have room or because she has kids. She starts a job this week, and I think she’ll qualify for some apartments once she has income.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an apartment that will rent to her without having some paystubs? Or any other resources? I paid for her hotel for tonight, but after this they’re going to be on street.

Help a mom and 2 kids out of domestic violence

I am helping a mom and two kids flee from domestic violence. She slept in a tent for a few days but her ex found them and beat the hell out of her. I’ve put her in a hotel for the last four nights but I’m out of money. She’s in touch with some local resources but shelters are full and they don’t know when they can get her into something more permanent.

She got a job but doesn’t start until the end of next week, so she won’t have income for awhile. She’s very motivated to work, and provide for her kids, but if she can’t stay in this hotel I’m scared she’ll return to this man.

Each night at the hotel is $94. She also needs a phone but I feel like I’m asking for too much already 😭 they have groceries until next week, but whatever anyone can send me it will all go to them.

My Venmo is @holalee
I’m not sure if that’s allowed, but I appreciate anyone that can help.

Mutual aid 🤝

Pack a bag of food with me for an unhoused person who needs some extra support with food. She lives under a bridge but has access to a microwave nearby at a gas station. We’ve been helping Savana for awhile with food, a tent, clean water, hygiene supplies, a sleeping bag and more. We work together to help our community ✊ #desmoines #iowa #unhoused #foodbag #love

Where did JD Vance die at?

Sorry if I didn’t use the right flair. I can’t for the life of me find the location of JD Vance’s death???? I know he died from rabies but where was he?

Also was Usha with him or Ericka? I’m not finding conclusive evidence of who might have been with him! Appreciate your help!!!
