#speakeasyprintshop — Public Fediverse posts

Every summer we get a big dip in the amount of donations that come in. In order to keep up with the assortment of supplies we offer our unhoused neighbors for their survival (ESPECIALLY through this brutal heat wave), our friends at #SpeakeasyPrintshop have yet again come through for us to offer this print-to-order fundraiser which we will use the funds from to make sure folks are hydrated, kept cool, and have protection from the elements for the summer months. We also want to give a HUGE thank you to all our new donors in the last few days, because of your generosity we will be able to buy 4 new tents for the encampment residents and were able to increase our ice budget.

These t-shirts were made with union labor and the design was created in-house by one of our incredible volunteers. This colorway will be a ONE TIME PRINT and this presale will only be up for the next TWO WEEKS.

Sweeps are violence! During the latest sweep at the encampment earlier this week, residents were given no notice, forced to move in the extreme heat, and lost a lot of what they use for shelter. If a volunteer had not just happened to be driving by at the right time, we would not have even been able to assist and witness.

Get your “Sweeps are Violence” t-shirt now to show your solidarity with the unhoused community in the Boston area. Link to purchase on our Linktree in our bio.

We got completely cleaned out on this distro. We ended our distro with only one size small sweatshirt and a few hygiene items. We started our sweatshirt distribution program. This program put dozens of sweatshirts on the bodies of folks who need them for the upcoming colder months. We can’t thank #SpeakeasyPrintshop enough for helping us make that happen! A volunteer we haven’t seen in awhile made some ziti and meatballs for folks longing for a warm meal. Our regular distro leads and volunteers nourished folks with bean burritos, PB&J, Nutella, and bologna sandwiches. We had plenty of snacks and drinks for folks, too. On top of that plenty of harm reduction supplies were distributed.
We are expecting there to be massive changes in how we do this work as the city begins taking measures to criminalize camping. We will do our best to keep up. We are thankful to have such an amazing community who is willing to support us so we can Serve The People.

Thanks to help from #SpeakeasyPrintshop we will be able to distribute 75 of these hoodies to folks so they can prepare themselves for the colder months ahead. We are so thankful to have such an amazingly caring screen printer in our community because this project would not be possible without him. This project cut our funds in half and we would like to recoup as much of that as possible so we can buy more stuff to prep our unhoused community for the fall and winter. We would like to ask the community to consider making a donation to our Ko-Fi. After all the fees that get taken, every $17 dollar donation you make will put a hooded sweatshirt on someone who needs it in the Boston area. If you can spare it, please consider donating. Our Ko-Fi can be found in the link in our bio. If you can’t share please repost. #WarmUpBoston #Boston #Cambridge #Salem #ServeThePeople #SurvivalProgram #EncampmentSupport #MobileDistro #MutualAid #Socialism #Communism #Anarchism #Community

With the help of #SpeakeasyPrintshop in #Salem, we will be providing 75 unhoused folks in #Boston and #Cambridge with hooded sweatshirts in order to help prepare our community for the fall and winter months ahead. We got a really good deal on the sweatshirts, but this still cost us $1000. We still have some funds left, but it would be awesome if some folks in our community had some money to spare to help us recoup. While sweatshirts will be a huge help to people, the winter months are the most draining on our budget. We do what we do on ~$400/month. If you have some money to spare, please consider donating to Warm Up via our #kofi. #WarmUpBoston #ServeThePeople #SurvivalProgram #MobileDistro #EncampmentSupport #Solidarity #Community #MutualAid https://ko-fi.com/warmupboston
