On average, humans need to use restrooms 8 to 10 times a day. Do you always have access to a restroom when you need one? Public restrooms are often hard to find, poorly maintained, or unavailable altogether, leading to repeated, preventable infectious diseases like Hepatitis A and Shigellosis.

Apparently, asking our staff to name the β€œmost humanist cookie” unlocks a level of chaos usually reserved for group projects and holiday travel.

Zero consensus. Maximum passion. Absolutely no chill.

So let’s ask you...
What’s the most humanist cookie?

You can bring one item or you can bring a whole bag-full! The more items that are donated, the more meal kits we'll be able to build to keep our neighbors fed. There's a lot going on we can't change right now, but this is a little thing we can do together to help.

We are asking Assemblers to bring donations of the following shelf-stable foods to the Assembly if they are able:

Boxed macaroni and cheese

Food banks serve hundreds of thousands of San Diego County residents monthly. Between the effects of the gov't shutdown, ⬇️ in food aid, and ⬆️ cost of groceries, resources are stretched thin right now. As part of our mission to Help Often, we are building meal kits for Feeding San Diego tomorrow.

So, pretty cool thing: Just attended the very first Sunday Assembly in North Idaho/Inland Northwest. No, I had nothing to do with planning it. (Probably would be a bit more on Oasis model if I had.) We made paper cranes, it was fun. #SundayAssembly #NorthIdaho #InlandPNW
