These shirts ARE really snazzy and the work they are doing is invaluable. Taking hot food (as well as heaters, propane, and other supplies) every day out to the camps directly where it's needed. Go get a nice shirt and support @Feedthestreets2

The 211 operator mentions the temporary cold weather shelter opening at 8pm tonight due to the snow forecast...... but those are for people 18 and over only. The 211 agent: "oh that's right, sorry."
Portland is sweeping camps in the middle of winter storms again.
Check out Rose City Radical issue "Thawing Out" page 19 if you want to know what it's like trying to navigate the 211 system in Portland and a few reasons why it's so hard to find shelter.

A 17-yo saying a new green sweep notice says to call 211 is given the name of 4 agencies (Bridge house, New Avenue for youth, outside in, Janis youth porchlight). They all list Access Center 503-432-3986 as intake.
It's important to keep supporting our comrades when they need it. If you cheered when you saw the viral video, please keep cheering as you send them support for the legal defense fund.

Hey! slowly getting back into the groove of things.
In addition to all the other MA stuff at this event... we made heaters! Just over a dozen! See ya there.

We distributed all our heaters last week before the freeze. We wish we had the time to build to keep folks warm, but we all had friends deeply effected and our time is with them right now. If you have time to build, we can be available give you materials and answer texts.
We've met as a collective and we've decided that we aren't leaving. We need support. We need, bodies to defend tomorrow and beyond. We need help on cashapp $radicalcamping for supplies to dig in as well as donations of such things. We need whatever may help.
@iggythebot @Heaterblocphl @LunchBloc@HeaterBlocNYC So the problem in the text is that it's too cold and it's not putting off enough heat? How cold is it? How big is the tent? It sounded like the heater was working properly? I'd suggest if it's that cold or the tent is too large to stitch to a can heater with an 8-inch pot
