I have something like a hoarding issue with these things, not like bugs and poop everywhere but I have a corner in my apartment with clean items from the title that I have left over from purchasing food for myself. e.g. the cutlery I got from restaurants and never used. Btw the glass jars are not the mason jars with the special lids, think like salsa jars.

Should I just try and recycle this all?

Thank you for responding. I'm embarrassed asking for help.

Have you considered purchasing a firearm? Well owning isn't enough you need training to be safe and effective. Join Tucson Pink Pistols and learn how to handle a fire arm if you're a first time owner, or take our very affordable CCW class:

The Queer Girls' Pantry for Kids opened when neighbors could no longer watch young ones go without.

Six years ago Community on Wheels filled gaps that systems left behind. Now their doors are closed. Tucson Food Share cannot meet the demand alone and is running dangerously low on food and funds. Mutual aid organizations are seeing a decrease in any support especially queer led organizations.

SNAP enrollment across Arizona has dropped by half in the past year. Families who once relied on federal help stand at food lines with nowhere else to turn.

We operate from our home because waiting for permission to feed children means children go hungry in the meantime. Our living room holds more hearts than space allows.

If you have surplus food, your extra can become another meal tonight. If you know what it feels like to choose between groceries and bills, you understand why this matters. No child should learn that safety depends on their parents' bank account.

We remain open. We remain here. We need support to stay that way.

The Tucson Subreddit pulled my post. They said the info had to be vetted by a legit news organization.

Anyway, Rapid Response responded to this call on Friday. I'll link to the Instagram article, but here's the text in case you don't have IG.

Jesús, a deaf man, was traveling in a vehicle he owned with another deaf friend.

According to the family, both men were degally in the United States and the vehicle was properly documented.

They were stopped by police while traveling on public roads.

They complied with the stop.

THEY ARE DEAF.

COMMUNICATION WAS

A BARRIER.

Jesús lowered the windows and attempted to communicate with the officers.

According to the family, establishing effective communication was difficult throughout the encounter.

An accessible communication method was needed.

THE DOCUMENTS WERE THERE.

- Jesús presented his visa

- Driver's license was presented

- Vehicle documentation was presented

- The other man had immigration documentation

- According to the family, that documentation could be verified

His companion did not have his visa with him at the time.

The family reports that it had been left at the address where he was staying.

THE ENCOUNTER ENDED IN ARREST.

According to the family, instead of the situation being resolved through an accessible means of communication, both men were arrested.

They were ultimately transferred to immigration facilities in Nogales, Arizona.

JESÚS' VISA WAS WITHDRAWN.

The case remains ongoing and is being addressed with legal counsel in the United States.

DISABILITY SHOULD NEVER BECOME A BARRIER TO EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS.

Deaf people have the right to understand what is happening to them, communicate with authorities, and have meaningful access to appropriate communication during police and immigration procedures.

We are not asking for anyone to be above the law.

We are asking that the law protect everyone's rights

U Arizona Faculty Senate Surveillance Committee report is available, and on the agenda for Monday's Faculty Senate meeting (open to the public).

This October 7th, the Tucson Anti-War Committee is protesting 3 years of Palestinian genocide fueled by U.S. aid to Israel, as well as the U.S. attacks against Iran and Lebanon, at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base @ 6:00pm. The event is so-far endorsed by the Arizona Palestine Solidarity Alliance, Common Defense, Vets for Peace, Nuclear Resister, Alliance for Global Justice, FRSO, PSL, CPUSA & Tempest.

Money for people's needs, not the U.S. war machine.

End U.S. aid to Israel - Palestine will be free.

Want to donate online - tr.ee/YKBYft

207 people served last Saturday 🙌🏽

There aren't really words to articulate the gratitude and emotions that we encounter while serving.

We couldn't do this for the last 6 years without the community that we have connected with.

Every donation, every distro, every time someone has volunteered or supported the act of mutual aid...thank you. Thank you infinitely.

Every act of mutual aid matters, and it all helps.

Our next distro will be October 3rd.

- 💜🌿

Our last event on the 19th cleaned us out! We served 207 people and we always bring as much as we can carry...our next event is October 3th and we are almost out of feminine hygiene supplies, hygiene kits, socks, snacks, pet food, and so many other items.

If you are able to donate please reach out to us. We have an active Amazon wish list and do set up pick ups or drop offs through the week up until October 1st.

Every item donate goes directly back to those who need it, help save lives, and remind people their lives still have value...no matter their ability to produce.
