Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know about Mutual Aid LA. I lucked out — had to evacuate, but my house is ok, but I know others whose houses are not. Also, now I know areas where I can help out people in my city locally, which means a lot given how little the Trump admin will care about us or anyone who aren't rich and powerful

This is really meaningful, Garret - thanks for these loving reflections and for the spreadsheet. I just shared it in our kindergarten class’s WhatsApp group! It’s truly overwhelming here, and your perspective is so helpful.

This spreadsheet brought tears to my eyes. Neighbors helping neighbors in the midst of terrifying events.

Thanks for this post and the link to mutual aid. Our family had to evacuate with their 9 month old and dog and cat. There house was standing as of yesterday which was a small miracle, but the neighborhood looks obliterated. It is painful to see accusations fly at a time like this. It’s so small.
