Comrades,
Thanks to the generous contributions of dozens of folks, we were able to raise the funds for our Construction projects on the Pine Ridge Reservation. We will be building a distribution center on the newly acquired land!
However, a small setback has popped up, and we Need your help Urgently! With the guidance of the traditional Headsman of the Oceti Sakowin, some of the Construction funds were used last night to save the life of a Native person. They had been bitten by a Black Widow spider and needed to immediately be transportation to be tested and administered Anti-Venom.
This leaves us about $300 short of the funds for a project to provide housing for a Native family. We need to replace those funds Urgently to get this done while we have our representative there. We know this may be frustrating to those who contributed, but well-being of The People must always be our overriding priority. We refuse to put a price on a Native life, and we support the decision made by our agent on the ground.
Please share and contribute if you can to this time sensitive need to help the community! Thank you so much for your time and attention.

Big thanks to everyone who helped get this done swiftly! You are saving lives, and creating enormous positive impact in the community.
We have a photographer on site with our agent currently, so we will have some great images and videos to share with everyone of the work being started very soon when they return!
Your support means the world to us, and we will continue to pour or efforts and resources into building services on the newly acquired land.
We'll be sharing more images and video from a professional in the coming days. In the meantime, here's a little peak at the land we'll be working to develop services for The People on.
Please continue to circulate the GFM so we can provide a Wheelchair for a Comrade who needs it to maintain their mobility and quality of life. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped!
