I had to make another gofundme, nothing we are doing is helping and relatives won't help us and let us stay stranded outside. It's hot and there are no hotels that are cheap this weekend. Again we don't have any open shelters. The rest is in the link.

I'm sorry again but I'm in need of a lot of help and this time it's dire. Mostly for my mental health. I've spiraled so hard this morning I want it to stop.

Don't forget to donate to my gofundme me to support me! 🌈Help a homeless disabled trans man this pride month 🌈

To help me with stability

To have food

To take care of my physical health/mental health/ get medication

To feed and care for my dogs and mom

To get my testosterone as a trans man

To have hygiene/cleaning products

To have backup just in case I need to go to the hospital.

Recover clothing and belongings.

To reach out goal to get a vehicle to finally have transportation.

To have safety in a hotel for the time being.

BAD NEWS: The House GOP and Democratic members of the Energy and Commerce Committee have been working on a package of age-verification bills and have finally struck a deal (I believe some of these are the same bills in the KIDS Act which they had passed out of committee a few months ago). Theoretically, this means that the House of Representatives could bring this package up for a vote at any time, with some reporters saying as early as this week or next week.

If this package were to pass it would still face an uphill battle as the House version of KOSA doesn't not include a duty of care provision, which the Senate wants.

However, we need to do everything to can to stop this from passing now, so it doesn't advance any further.

We must call House Leadership, our representatives, and our senators to express our opposition and we need to spread the work. If we can make noise and create pressure over how unpopular age verification is, it makes passing bills like these less enticing.

(Note: this is different from whatever deal the Senate and the White House are trying to reach over AI and age-verification)

You can use the resources linked to find more information and 5-calls to call:

Also noting that leaders in the push for age-verification don't like the House's version. So, if the House doesn't like the Senate version and the Senate doesn't like the House version, and no one likes Marsha Blackburn's AI package, that is a weakness/friction that can work in our favor, so PLEASE CALL TO OPPOSE:

At least hit the shiny repost button if you're going to do nothing else. This should not stand.
