Curious if these panelists will discuss the BSF grants that KU gets to “strengthen relations between u.s.-israel”

With extreme temperatures for the next week, we are distributing waters again. Please send funds (V: @LFKEats, C: $LFKEats) or drop water bottles off outside of the ECM again. These temps are deadly, so let’s show out for the folks in our community!

So far we have been handing out three 24-packs a day as that is all the freezer space we have, but we are running out of funds. $4 per pack, 3 packs per day for 8 more days of extreme heat, totals out to ~$100 needed for this. Please send funds to @LFKEATS to help meet this need!

With deadly heat indices near 120 degrees, we urge you to please drop off water bottles for our unhoused community! We will freeze these bottles to ensure folks have access to cold water in this heat. You can either drop off outside the ECM or DM us and we can pick up from you.
Max heat indices today per 5 minute observations: St. Joseph: 122 KC International: 120 Maryville: 119 Chillicothe: 114 KC Downtown: 112 Kirksville: 110 Boonville: 107 Lee's Summit: 106 Olathe & Gardner: 105 Sedalia: 104

Last call for funds! We are at $755 right now. Can you help us make it to $800 so we can at least help with half of their request? Times are tough right now, and we only have each other. Every $5 donation counts—every bit adds up.
THREAD: We are raising $1600 to prevent a community member from being evicted. But this isn’t just about them. Thousands of people in our town are suffering under rent debt. Pandemic assistance has ended, KERA has ghosted so many people and now tons of evictions are looming.

We are not close to meeting this goal yet. The city @lawrenceks has the funds and resource capability to eliminate all of Douglas County’s rent debt, but they won’t. Right now we only have each other. Please send funds to our V: @LFKEats or C: $LFKEats to prevent this eviction

We want to talk to as many people as we can going through similar situations. We can’t promise to raise money for everyone, but we can come together and demand action. We NEED to come together. If you or anyone you know is going through this please reach out to us!

The city has no more space in any of their houseless shelters so where will thousands of newly evicted people go? The census-based estimate says theres at least 1900 children being affected by this in our county too. Where will they go?

In nearby Kansas City, homelessness is now criminalized. This is what the loud anti-homeless elements in Lawrence are also calling for. As KC and Lawrence crack down on homeless people, we must be extra prepared to strongly advocate for our unhoused community members.
Starting today it will be a crime to sleep on state-owned land in Missouri. That includes streets, parks and underneath bridges and overpasses. You will be fined $750 and face 15 days in jail.

This is EXTREMELY high priority - with the city’s repeated attempts to undermine and disband the camp, we need ALL HANDS ON DECK from the community to continue supporting the folks at the camp!
🚨EMERGENCY 🚨 WINTER DRIVE: Wind chills are supposed to hit -40°F on Thursday. We need you all to show out like never before to help us get winter supplies out to folks. Our highest priority is propane and tarps, but we also need other winter items. DM for drop-off address.
