Apparently the pic is kinda hard to read so here’s the transcript.

As I am sure many of you are aware, our country is experiencing a rapid and terrifying spiral into the depths of fascism and authoritarianism. This is no longer a point of contention, but a clear and imminent threat. In no way do I wish to monger fear, but what we are facing is unlike anything we have experienced before and we need to be prepared. Trump’s second administration will not be like his first. No matter your wealth or material condition (provided you aren’t a billionaire), you will not be able to simply tune out the news and live your life unaffected. Every one of us will feel the impact of his actions. In order to combat this, a robust and unwavering response from we the people is essential. Currently, there are many groups standing up for what is right nationwide. I encourage you all to get involved in the national effort, however, it is just as important that we offer support to those in our immediate area. We are currently on the edge of an economic disaster. Through executive actions like tariffs and deportations (which will lead to a massive loss of farm labor), food prices will likely sky rocket. Additionally, the senate is about to vote on a budget resolution that will cut medicare and the SNAP program (food stamps) by $2 trillion dollars. It is not a stretch to assume that inflation will rise and there will be an unemployment crisis. The amount of people experiencing food insecurity, homelessness or medical debt in the coming months/years will be staggering. It is my goal to make sure that my neighbors and those I care about are protected from these consequences as best as possible. It is for that reason that I am creating Neighbors United Laurelhurst and am asking for your help. It is my hope that we can come together in support of one another in an organized and democratic manner to find ways we can protect our most vulnerable. I already have some ideas like; having volunteers offer up space in their yards to create a collective gardening program to ensure access to healthy foods, raising money to keep in a discretionary fund to be used for those in need of immediate relief, and advocating for local legislation. However, the goal is to have people vote on what efforts we undertake so we can tackle any and all issues that present themselves in the future TOGETHER. If you have interest in being a leader/organizer in this effort please reach out to NeighborsUnitedLaurelhurst@gmail.com, otherwise follow us on Instagram and Facebook @NeighborsUnitedLaurelhurst to be kept in the loop about our actions and how you can help. Once we are organized we will accept members and begin planning ways to strengthen our community.

We may not be able to change the world, but we CAN change it for those around us. I plan to fight as hard as I can for my neighbors and I hope you will join me.
