some cheer for ur TL: OUR LOCAL FARMS -> SOUTH SIDE MUTUAL AID FUNDRAISER ONLY HAS $5000 TO GO!!!

since April, we delivered 4400+ bags of produce/eggs/bread to 700 Black & low-income households, while getting $ to 20 local farms.

let's get to the finish exp.st/marketbox we, ppl who work in diff orgs at 61st & Blackstone (@expstation), started MarketBox in response to COVID-19, in a wave of feeling useless & disconnected in March.

our team has journalists (@invinst & @SouthSideWeekly), coffee shop staff (@BuildCoffee),
& the ppl of @61market.

finally got our votes in, Chicago. @trinattrill & i put it off, but it felt nice to hit YES on fair tax & NO on retaining Toomin (& more - see our guide below).

vote ASAP - the covid positivity rate here is steady rising past 7%, & once we get to 8%, more closures are imminent ImageImage We are not hype about this election but we #votedanyway to #TossToomin & vote yes on a #FairTax

have you voted yet? In Chicago you can vote early at any location & vote at the same time. Need help deciding how to vote?

We made a cheat sheet to make it a little easier for ya! ImageImage
