With the passing of Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill, we know by design the poorest among us are going to suffer the most. Perhaps more than ever before, our leaders have made it clear they don’t give a shit about providing the most basic of human rights; the right to medical care, healthy food, housing, clean air and an education.

Now more than ever is the time to invest in Mutual Care. This doesn’t mean charity, but rather the praxis of recognizing that our society will only ever be as safe for any of us as it is for those struggling the most. How can we show up for the folks our government is systemically choosing to abandon time and time again? How can we form a community of interdependence so that each and every one of us can be safe in the dark days to come?

One such way, is through the Your Mom directory. This directory phone directory exists as a resource to connect our community with safe resources. It can be accessed by calling 517-299-0456. Read more about it and it’s founder in this week’s issue.
