Folks, I’m just putting the finishing touches on an update to the Gaza Verified site that will make signing up for verification as easy as signing in with your Mastodon account (with none of the manual adding of the verification link to your profile that proved to be a stumbling block for many).
I’ll be reopening sign ups today once I’m done with that.
In the meanwhile, please remember that there are folks in Gaza who are suffering through an ongoing genocide at the hands of Isra…

I've benefited from a lot of these programs before getting into security. It turns out that trying to support a partner and a kid on $40k/yr, even in the early 2000's, is basically impossible. My parents were divorced, and my dad is a disabled vet.
Food security has always been important, long before organizing with comrades who also occasionally needed support. So if you have money, donate.
Eventually benefits will come back. Hopefully we can bridge the gap... But we won't be able to for everyone. When things come back, don't just feel relieved and move on. The system is collapsing. If it doesn't completely fall apart now, it will eventually. If you aren't affected now, you will be. Organize now around food security.
The disaster is now. The best time to prepare was years ago. The second best time is now.

Joe Eskenazi's @… column today speculates that Connie Chan and allies will run a doomed prop to close Sunset Dunes park, just to turn out voters for Chan.
But a good chunk of No on K voters are in congressional district 15, outlined, and can't vote for Chan. #sfpol<…

I want to take a moment to thank @… for helping us carry out our Gaza Verified video calls.
Without her and Joy, we couldn’t do what we do.
Aseel is living in a tent right now (which gets flooded when it rains, like it did this week) and, in the middle of having to help her own family, is volunteering to help other families in need in Gaza.

@… and I had the honour of speaking to four families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

If you have a few moments, please watch Aseel’s “day in the life of” video from Gaza where she takes you through her daily reality during Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
In addition to her daily chores, Aseel spent the last week helping @… and me run verification calls for Gaza Verified while @…
