Though poor and homeless, I'm personally funding my #HamRadio for #MutualAid group's programming, including buying books and equipment for everyone to learn and share, paying travel expenses to teach free classes in various different states or to network with groups and build our #EmergencyPreparedness and #DisasterRelief plans and practice them together so we'll be ready when needed.

This weekend, we are having an Antenna Day event in a local park, learning more about how antennas work, looking at different types, and practicing building some of our own. We have many other events and trainings in the works on different topics.

Ongoing education and practice are what will help us to #KeepEachOtherSafe. When internet and cell service goes down, how will you stay in communication?

If you'd like to chip in to help, my Venmo is @ theresa-markila.

So far, I've spent over $1,000 in the last couple of years. (I always try to buy secondhand or get item donations first.) But I'm not looking to be reimbursed! Any money that comes in supports future trainings and allows us to keep expanding.

If you'd like to join our @VOMA network, or learn more, message me or email EmPrep@mutualmorris.com

Let's put our money, time, and energy into building collective defenses and resources whenever we can, so that we can all benefit together. That's #Solidarity!

Thanks!

Our emptier roads have become more lethal. Despite less traffic, the fatality rate per miles driven jumped in March: https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/overview/preliminary-monthly-estimates/

Be safe! Don’t drive faster just because there are fewer vehicles on the road. #KeepEachOtherSafe
