I wish the problems we currently face could be solved by simply spending a day volunteering. Unfortunately they will not, our community will need continued support through multiple channels. I have attached various avenues of support for our community through donations, political action, and personal education.
As events continue to unfold I will keep you updated with our communities current needs. I would love to know where you end up funneling your efforts. Now is a great time to truly listen to our community so if you have heard of an organization or know of someone that you think needs our immediate attention please let me know and I will direct our attention to them.
