The ICE building across the street disperses unknown chemical agents, and the apartment building’s HVAC system is pulling that toxic air INSIDE.

💜 We will not let them choke alone 💜

We are ready to teach more people how to build DIY air purifiers using Corsi-Rosenthal boxes BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Share this. Emergency support needed NOW to shield families from ICE gas exposure.

Right now, there are many people (including young children, babies, disabled folks, Veterans, pregnant parents and more!) who are being gassed inside their own homes in Portland, Oregon.

The text body reads, "Yes! Clean air is a universal access need at all events. We can prioritize that. It's a smart move to submit your request as soon as the date & venue have both been confirmed.

It's possible to submit requests and skip past demographic questions, if desired."

Turns out when you run a free community clean air program, people actually use it and the group adapts to meet changing needs!

What’s new?
• Slower processing times
• Optional form questions
• One hub closed and another opened!

The chance of LC increases with every infection. Masks and air purifiers are two of the tools we have against airborne illnesses like COVID-19! People living with long COVID and other post-infection conditions advise continued rest AND LONG-TERM PACING after an infection before gradually increasing activity. Clinical research on the impacts of antivirals (e.g. paxlovid or metformin, methylene blue, and more) is being conducted. So far, there are mixed results, and there is no one-size-fits-all option."

January: We created the PCAC Discord server & began major planning. February: Our bid at an online auction won us a pallet of used HEPAs from the Salem-Keizer Public School District. March: We did a super-secret soft launch & sent two room air purifiers to BarnRadio for long-term use! April - August: We continued to build systems, loaning HEPAs to community members who kept checking to see if we were ready. In the bottom right corner, a purple arrow points to the next slide.

Alt text 2: A similarly styled infographic. 2024 Recap (continued). September: We finalized fiscal sponsorship with the YWCA & fundraising finally felt possible!! October: We started fundraising & loaning purifiers directly to local orgs. November: New volunteers joined PCAC as we kept pushing towards a fully functional HEPA fleet. December: PCAC officially launched--and then we quickly expanded the lending inventory when ALL the HEPAs got replacement filters! In the bottom right, a purple arrow points to the next slide.

Alt text 3: A similarly styled infographic. 2024 Recap (by the numbers). Total amount raised: $511, Amount spent on filters: $324.41, Number of donations: 16, Average amount given: $32, Largest donation: $100, Most popular amount given: $10.
