Ugh. It’s already 80* here.

Our heb was out of bananas Thursday.
Dr. Pierre R. Berastaín, CEO of SAFE Alliance released the following statement: "As a result of the recent funding reductions, The SAFE Alliance will be unable to serve approximately 345 survivors this year, meaning fewer households receiving safety planning and stabilization support, and fewer opportunities to intervene before situations escalate into homelessness, emergency medical care, or involvement with law enforcement and the courts. We recognize that the City is navigating a genuinely difficult fiscal moment, and we deeply appreciate the care with which leaders are weighing these decisions. We will, as we always do, work aggressively to raise private and philanthropic dollars to help offset gaps.
But philanthropy cannot reliably replace public funding for core public-safety infrastructure. At a certain point, efforts to stretch limited resources, no matter how well-intentioned, begin to create harm rather than prevent it. When prevention and early intervention are underfunded, those costs don’t disappear; they are shifted into emergency rooms, jails, courts, and crisis systems, where they are far more expensive and far more harmful. The system always collects its debt. The question is who pays, and how much harm happens first."
SAFE is not going anywhere. We remain committed to not let survivors face danger alone. If you or someone you know needs help, we are always here for you. Call or message our 24/7 SAFEline for support: Call: 512-267-SAFE [7233] Text: 737-888-7233 Chat: safeaustin.org/chat

President Trump's ongoing attempts to use the military for law enforcement endangers public safety and our rights.
Tell your Senator to co-sponsor a bill that will limit domestic military deployments and enhance oversight.
You should mention that you have to spend $ to answer poll.

Not answering poll because of demand for name and phone number. Spending WAY less. Boycotting many things also. Downsizing lifestyle.
Rumour has it the top corp will not air it on their stations.
People experiencing miscarriages in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves.
We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.
