Looks like Ryan is applying to be a registered charity. The gofundme should qualify for tax receipts after that.
I’m not aware of Canadian instances. /u/otter mentioned recently that Fedecan may setup a Pixelfed instance next: https://lemmy.ca/post/25251642/13926523
Hey, have you actually read the article? I’d also highly suggest you watch the two videos included as well.
Realistically we need to do both. $7,500 in cash is not going to solve the affordable housing shortage. Give them a roof over their heads for shelter, warmth, hygiene, privacy, security, autonomy, electricity for charging a phone. The psychological benefits alone seem huge to me. It would allow some of them to climb one or two rungs out of their situation. As you’ve said even a rental may not be guaranteed with $7,500 in cash. A tiny home guarantees a lot immediately, and it is a sustained investment that will last the lifetime of the home. I 100% agree that a basic income is proven to be beneficial. It doesn’t mean we stop doing everything else that we can. I’m sure you know the issue isn’t a lack of means, it’s a lack of will. If this helps in the short term, that’s great. If you also want to fight for basic income in the long term I will also support you in that. It’s not a zero sum game.

I’ve had enough of the talking heads. I’m just going to check in on the AP News results map occasionally. Fortunately I have a few days off, so I’m going to distract myself otherwise.

Thanks for calling that out. I’m sure it’s a complex problem, especially for remote reserves. I just found out about this organisation who seem to be actively tackling part of the problem https://waterfirst.ngo/
I would absolutely love to stop following American news, and that will happen when I don’t have to worry about Trumpf infecting world politics.
I agree with the petition, but I wish it had mentioned that Twitter hides most, if not all, of an account’s tweets behind a login wall. Same for Instagram for that matter. That’s a strong reason not to use it for government communication.
