So much time has passed since last email announcement and so much has happened.  FYI the SubRosa instagram account is very active and frequently updated.  https://www.instagram.com/subrosa_sc/  (and check out info for various projects at the Hub below).

at SubRosa on Wednesday morning

And here's a sample of the latest...

***Help us get mobile! From the fundraiser for folk in Santa Cruz (https://www.gofundme.com/f/y83z3-help-us-get-mobile): "Hello everyone my name is Daniel and that's my mother Lavetta in the wheelchair. She is a double amputee and unfortunately lost both of her legs due to medical complications. I have been by her side faithfully taking care of her since this all started a little over 8 years ago. GOD has been so good to us and finally blessed us with a place to call home after over 5 years of struggling to become stable. Now that we can check that off of the list our next goal is to purchase a vehicle to provide a steady form of transportation. Recently we fell into a bit of financial hardship and that's why i am asking you for help. My goal is to raise enough to put a downpayment on a nice Van/SUV that can fit me, my mother and her wheelchair comfortably. Anything and everything helps! Thank you for your time and may GOD bless you and yours."

Artwork can be submitted to protectjuristac@gmail.com The winning design will be adopted by the campaign and may be printed on t-shirts, posters, stickers, or bandanas, depending on the type of design.  All media and illustration styles are welcome. Higher contrast designs are the most versatile. We are super excited to see what you create!  AND Join us on August 5!  Protecting Sacred Landscapes: From Juristac to Medicine Lake- Online Event (Registration link in bio https://www.instagram.com/protectjuristac/ and at event post). In Santa Clara County southwest of Gilroy, the most sacred site of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band is currently threatened by a proposed 317-acre sand and gravel mining operation. Juristac, otherwise known as Sargent Ranch, is the cultural and spiritual center of Amah Mutsun territory and also serves as an essential migration corridor for mountain lions, badgers, and other wildlife.In Northern California near Mt. Shasta, the Pit River Tribe has led a successful decades-long fight—alongside other allied tribes and environmental organizations—to protect the sacred Medicine Lake Highlands from proposed geothermal industrial development.  Join us at this online event to get your questions answered and find out how you can take action to protect Juristac! (much more info at post).

And there's a lot of Instagram accounts that SubRosa follows for a variety of information/ perspectives, both locally and elsewhere!  Some of these are...

•https://www.instagram.com/blackpowderpress/

And there is a long overdue reckoning and ongoing engagement regarding race and racism in this country and here in Santa Cruz (and as Fábrica banner reads - Black Liberation Everywhere) - and not to take attention away from this, there's also attention to the continued harassment of houseless folk in Santa Cruz (and not unrelated).  Efforts to defund the police are also taking place.  While the global pandemic continues, there's also transformative possibilities emerging.

And a part of this can be hard and healing... at https://www.instagram.com/lured_by_burger_records/ - "LURED BY BURGER RECORDS // HEAVY TW: Stories of sexual abuse and pedophilia. Amplifying voices and supporting victims of sexual predation by those involved with Burger Records. https://linktr.ee/lbbr_resources " - and it's also important for DIY spaces like SubRosa to continue to be a "safer space" (when we do have gatherings again) and to also help spread the word about the experiences and needs of people who are harmed by predatory behaviors of others (and often "men") - and like other challenges to extreme harm and violence done it's worth examining how this is also systemic... and to work together to uproot that and to take care of each other. More to come...

Tonight: Neuroqueer Support Circle // & community resources info!

This evening, 7:30pm - 9:30pm: Neuroqueer Support Circle (online info: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87138070563 // Meeting ID: 871 3807 0563). https://www.facebook.com/events/348359786124384/

We are neuroqueer, neurodivergent and neuroemergent. We have nervous systems which challenge the norms of psychiatry, ability and social expectations. Many of us have been deeply pathologized from a young age. Many of us have had difficulty recognizing the validity of who we are, difficulty perceiving and developing our abilities, our gifts, in the climate of pathologization we've been steeped in. But we have the chance to form new circles of validation, to immerse ourselves in affirming spaces, to be "believing mirrors" for each other. And some of us have learned ways to embrace who we are and would love to share about it! Life can be difficult or just different for us so let's talk about it! (or draw, stim, sign, sing, dance about it).

If that' s what you've been dreaming of, please join this co- facilitated circle

Details:

-This is a non-structured sharing space with revolving facilitators. We may decide to focus on a specific discussion topic or not. Non- verbal means of communication and sharing or just being will be welcomed.
-This will be an anti- oppression focused space.*
-This will be a queer space, (for ppl with LQBTQIA+ identities, yes, including Ace) with a possibility of opening up to others later once queer safety has been established to our satisfaction. -Respecting various gender identities and pronouns is a must.

Who this space is for: queer people of all kinds of neurodivergence, including but not limited to adhd, bipolar, autistic, spd, hsp, bpd and so many more, regardless of diagnoses. No official diagnosis is necessary, people's self knowledge of their own nervous system will be respected. (Sometimes ppl can feel like they aren't neurodivergent enough, and if that's what's going on for you, talk to us!). https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87138070563 // Meeting ID: 871 3807 0563

-Highlighting this "Amah Mutsun Families COVID-19 Relief Fund" -- they are so close to their goal. https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/amah-mutsun-families-covid-19-relief

Update from the fundraiser: "Thank you! The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band sincerely thanks all of the donors who have contributed such generous donations! We are very fortunate to work with such a kind and giving Community. The help we have received from each of you and other community members has greatly increased our ability to directly respond to the needs of our elders and tribal members in this difficult time. After accessing the necessities within in our Tribe, our committee has decided to continue our campaign. We are raising our goal to $15,000 as we begin to distribute our services and funds. With the high probability of COVID-19 stretching into Fall and beyond; our tribal members will soon be facing no unemployment or FFCRA benefits. This is extremely concerning and why we have made the decision to keep fundraising. We would appreciate the continued sharing of this relief fund out into your communities and via your social media networks. With gratitude, we wish good health and blessings to you and your families. Please be safe! Respectfully, The Amah Mutsun Families COVID-19 Relief Fund Committee"

-Recommendation from YARR (Your Allied Rapid Response): We assume some of you are in the position of being able to make a donation for those who have not been eligible for any money through the federal relief package. This includes not only those who are undocumented, but also US citizens who are married to specific groups of immigrants, like those on student visas. DACA college students may also be blocked from receiving aid. Given the cost of living in Santa Cruz county, federal relief will also fall short for other vulnerable groups. We have been researching which organizations in the county are able to get money out into the community quickly with minimal barriers/hurdles for those who are in need. At this time, if you are able, we are recommending you make a donation to the Community Action Board, through the CAB COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund. 100% of your donations will go to support groups such as those who are undocumented, unhoused, and/or have aged out of foster care. Here's the donation webpage: https://cabinc.org/2020/04/17/undoc-covid19/

-UndocuFund Monterey Bay is a collaborative effort to assist Monterey Bay area undocumented immigrant workers impacted by COVID-19. The fund will help individuals and families with a one-time emergency assistance in this time of crisis. https://www.undocufundmb.org "Undocumented workers are over-represented in the services, hospitality, and agriculture industries; industries severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has led to the loss of their homes, wages, and/or employment. At the same time, undocumented workers have been excluded from federally and state funded safety net programs. This comes at a time when immigrant communities were already threatened by anti-immigration policies like public charge."

-Hub Fundraiser has almost reached it's goal! We're so very grateful to you all that have donated... and if you've thought about it you still can.

Cactus Bloom IG Show // May Day in SC // Hub fundraiser // community resources // & more!!!

Hub Fundraiser - we're almost reached our goal! The Santa Cruz Hub for Sustainable Living is a constellation of community-based projects that has been building and celebrating community and offering crucial resources since 1994. We are currently closed for community safety, and rather than have each individual project at the Hub shoulder the burden for rent alone, we are focused on a collective effort to raise rent/expenses all together, and we're asking you to help us with that! Thanks for your support! See info below for other efforts to offer support in Santa Cruz - if you have the means, please consider donating to the Hub after and in addition to supporting these urgent needs.

-And May Day in Santa Cruz - Join the May Day strike against austerity and unsafe working conditions in Santa Cruz this Friday from 12-4:30! Meet in the Oakes College parking lot (from https://www.instagram.com/payusmoreucsc/)

Our greatest weapon against layoffs, pay reductions, and cuts to social welfare during and after COVID is the withholding of our labor. Workers across the world at universities, Amazon, Whole Foods, Target, Instacart, Walmart, and FedEx, to name a few, are going on strike this May 1. In addition, millions of tenants are withholding their rent.

Do not go to work as usual May 1, whether in person or online. Do not pay your rent. Reclaim the time and resources you need to care for yourself and your community.

Join us for a May Day Caravan as we stand with those striking and fighting for their right to live in this city. From the Oakes College parking lot, we will embark on a slow-moving, socially-distant action using car and bike transit from campus to downtown to support workers across the city (full route details TBA).

Those without a vehicle are welcome to join at one or more locations! If you are not currently in Santa Cruz, you can still be part of our journey by following along on here or on Twitter @payusmoreucsc.

WHAT TO BRING!!!
-Personal masks or bandanas
-Banners, signs, and markers for vehicles in support of striking workers and renters
-White flags in support of the rent strike
-Flowers and other offerings for the UCSC loop bus driver who passed away due to COVID
-Care packages with masks, hand sanitizer, and other safety supplies to donate to front line workers and folks living unhoused

***Hub Fundraiser still ongoing: The Santa Cruz Hub for Sustainable Living is a constellation of community-based projects that has been building and celebrating community and offering crucial resources since 1994. We are currently closed for community safety, and rather than have each individual project at the Hub shoulder the burden for rent alone, we are focused on a collective effort to raise rent/expenses all together, and we're asking you to help us with that! Thanks for your support! https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/rent-for-the-hub-for-sustainable-living
