I'm going to be very blunt about this. We are going to see a LOT more people in need of mutual aid to cover food between the soaring food prices and the last vestiges of our societal safety nets being dismantled. People are going to starve without community support.

We've been quiet lately while we work on assessing what's safe for public communication where, working on ways to tighten up some security, and doing internal structuring work but the work continues as conditions deteriorate quickly!

We have been prioritizing this type of work to be as ready as possible for circumstances like this and we could have been so much more ready with more resources, but it isn't too late to support community based cash distribution systems heavily now!

National Human Trafficking Hotline Enhancement Act (H.R. 2601) To require entities that contract with the National Human Trafficking Hotline to cooperate with State and local law enforcement agencies when receiving tips via the Hotline.

HR2601 is a proposed bill that would allow state and local law enforcement to monitor any entities associated with the national trafficking hotline and force them into compliance. this includes all of the local sex worker led organisations that funnel those calls.
