If they don’t mind (big if I know) radical mixes of anarchism and Catholicism (!?) the #Tacoma #CatholicWorker on the Hilltop is nice
I lived there for 10 years from 1991 to 2002 and we did lots of work welcoming homeless people into our house, Latin American solidarity, community gardening, supporting the local #NeedleExchange, AIDS hospice, LGBTQ, and labour and human-rights organizing
They’re friendly and not pushy (I’m a casual atheist)

The #NeedleExchange in #Tacoma Washington used to hand out lapel pins made of syringes 💉 (with the sharps removed)
Which were considered illegal “drug paraphernalia” in the midst of the worst of the HIV crisis
I wore one constantly for years next to a button a local churchy group made that raised a ruckus that said “The body of Christ has AIDS”
Good trouble in hard times
I do like the idea of “FREEDOM” masks 😷
