How to Help Encampments in SoCal (lemmygrad.ml)

Hello there, Hexbear! I am living in southern California at the moment, the south end of Los Angeles county to be more exact. I would love to help out and bring the local encampments for Palestine some coffee, food stuffs, water, whatever I can. I'm hoping for suggestions of where to look or how to contact organizers to find out what is most needed/wanted most! Accounts to follow or websites for how to best bring by donations! Thank you so much comrades!

Not much going on right now. They swept it a couple days ago and cleared everyone out. Arrested about 25 people, all of whom were out of jail the next day. I'll know more about what's happening by tomorrow.

Costco gift cards are easy to mail. DM me if something like that is helpful.

That's super nice of you. I don't have a personal use for such a thing, but I will keep it in mind should I encounter a use for such a thing. Honestly I word encourage you to just donate to relevant organizations serving Palestinians, or even some bail funds closer to home.

Are you sure? I think I saw Costco Business has a great price on tactical 5 gallon water jugs.

Haha no bullshit, but I can't express how proud I am of our little town producing such a fierce meme. Love from beyond the redwood curtain.
