It’s been a very cold spell and with so many residents in the community with improper housing, trying to keep everyone warm has been a scramble against time, but local organizers are very thankful for all the donations and assistance. So far: • a U-haul full of mutual aid items has been delivered • Permanent shelter has been gotten for an elder • Extra wood has been sent • A shipping container of goods will be sent from Toronto • 40lbs of woollen socks has been donated and is being sent

This has helped many in need but there’s still so much to be done - please help out if you can @ $ZitkatosTinCan, or through the GoFundme https://gofund.me/14c27f48

Towards the end of last year CLN was able to help out one of the elders get home to Pin Ridge Reservation. While this was wonderful, he is still living in temporary housing and sleeping on a cot in full winter clothing owing to how cold it is out there. Thus, the group is trying to raise an extra $2K to get him permanent housing by getting him a trailer- and here’s the good part, the trailer is worth up to $15K plus it will be delivered. To make things even better he has offered the group some land to use where CLN is planning on setting up shelters for local organizer: WIN-WIN-WIN!!! Please share this with your friends, family and colleagues- even a $5 helps. Thank you for taking the 2 min to read through. (Cash app and links in the picture)

Hey everyone, so the network managed to get the mutual aid delivered to Indigenous organizers on the ground and also managed to get a used truck but the truck needed some electrical repairs. We’re hoping to be able to cover the costs of the repairs ($600) but that cash is needed today! This truck will be vital to organizing on the Reservation especially with winter coming in this week. Every bit helps.

So building on the mutual aid initiatives of last year, this year the group was a lot more pro-active by trying to get enough wood (and other necessities) to families in one of the poorest communities in America (as household income goes). Just a $10 can go a long way. But also if you have time, try and check out some of the other work being done- it’s really exciting stuff from a wholesome bunch: https://linktr.ee/chunkalutanetwork

As part of the ongoing Chunka Luta Network organizing, we have launched a winter drive to keep families warm during the winter and help them out with food. Follow on other social media if you can and check out some of the amazing work being done.
