save the date: Sept. 21st

Y'all ready to do some good in a couple weeks?

Every September, we like to stomp and yell and goof around and get super amped for a week or so on the internet, raising money to abolish as much ATL-metro medical debt as we can in the process. (If you're new around here, this is how it went down last year.) It's fun. It's important. It's even delicious, sometimes.

There will be rad giveaways from local businesses. (If you run one or otherwise have access to something that I might give to people in order to entice them to donate, please reply to this email.) There will be more emails than usual. There will be loads and loads of posts on Bluesky, including real-time updates about our progress, giveaway announcements, dumb memes, and much more. There will be other things I haven't even thought up yet.

To that end, as always, I could use your help. If you can give, that's amazing. If you can tell people, that's incredible. If you have creative ideas w/r/t getting our fundraiser page into the grubby internet paws of new people and websites and influencers, oh my god, please hit me up.

For now, though? Please just save the date: September 21, 2026. Thank you, you're the best, I love you, see you then.

let's build affordable, supportive housing in Kirkwood
