Hello comrades and relatives, Im making an update post as there is now an offer to match any donations from this point forward and we only need $255 to accomplish this. $ZitkatosTinCan on CA or @zitkato on ven with a screenshot sent on here (is that even possible?) or the [email protected] email for ease of access for me. We also have a proton mail if you are paranoid or refuse to use google. For those unaware of the previous post (found here: https://hexbear.net/post/6967903) This is the original post:

Hey folks, I am a 26 year old Oglala Lakota organizer who has been going coast to coast the last 5 years meeting leftists and organizers of all stripes from many eras in organizing and from many different organizations. Because of this I have met a lot of people who are on the same page theoretically and in praxis but for one reason or another are not all in the same organization. This is something we want to change and in order to do so conversations must happen in person. We have many projects going on but this fundraiser is specifically to help conduct a research trip that will double as a supply run to grab much needed plants, gardening tools, and other things land workers we support left behind when they moved across the country to help our organizing efforts in the Great Plains and Great Lakes regions. We work primarily in these areas because we have land there that we can build and grow on, and because of cultural ties our paid organizers have to the areas (both are Oceti Sakowin ancestral lands which is the larger federation the Oglala Lakota nation belongs to and other peoples in the GLs region).

We are therefore asking for $2025 to pay for a rental to grab the much needed supplies and to help us have important meetings and interviews with organizers along the way. I am also producing a audio documentary on the history and legacy leading up to and happening after Wounded Knee 1973 which this trip will also help further along. This money will also pay for food, gas, and emergency funds if anything bad should happen on the way. Please help I am exhausted and will even do a loan with interest Ill pay off over the course of next year and I know some of you have 2025 to spare.

You can also join the patreon or librapay on linktr.ee/chunkalutanetwork where you can find our wonderful library of books we are working to expand and organize better after years of education and practical application. Theres also the marx madness podcast, blatant propganda podcast and chunka luta podcast providing education through a Decolonial Scientific Socialist lens. By supporting us on a recurring basis you pay stipends of organizers to help with the costs of their organizing who we select based on their proven analysis and ability to accomplish a lot with less. It also helps pay for operational costs and media production costs like streamyard and website hosting. We will be launching an official website next year, and bringing back the history collages too!

I havent been very present online due to several major traumatic experiences happening last year in a seemingly never ending onslaught, and I was houseless for most of last year because of said traumatic events. Now that I am back on my feet and have a place to study and write I hope to prove I am a horse worth backing. Please help I am begging. $ZitkatosTinCan on Cashapp or @zitkato on venmo and message me on twitter if you want to do the loan

Any excess funds garnered will be utilized to help a recently fired union worker (who is fighting what they believe was a wrongful termination so hmu if you know a labor lawyer in Michigan) survive this winter, a native mother with 2 kids who recently divorced her racist and abusive husband, and help a Bulgarian trans comrade who will be without a regular income for the next 2 months. You can also support us monthly to help with mutual aid goals like this, and to support the day to day operations of the network
