Dear Meta,
 
Thank you so much for this inspiring email and the opportunity to get involved.  I've recently moved from a lower income neighborhood into Nob Hill.  Living in a "nicer" neighborhood during this global epidemic of poverty and homelessness, really makes the suffering and desperation look even starker.  I take the ART bus every day to work and often find myself in tears when I see the conditions that late-capitalism allows people to live in.  It also makes me grateful for the safety and comfort of my own home.  I value the reminder to appreciate what I have during these difficult times and wish that for every last one of us. 
 
In short, I am grateful for you, and others like you, and am hoping to get involved in the near future.
 
In Solidarity,
 
Shoshana

Greetings Neighbors,
This week I had the honor of a visit to the new Albuquerque Community Safety building. I talked with Walter Adams, Mental and Behavioral Health Division Manager, ACS, about their work. I saw this on the training walls and really it sums up why I support ACS:

Our NobHill Neighborhood Association along with partner Rev Dawn of the Monte Vista Christian Church are supporting the work of ACS and unhoused individuals by assembling Hygiene kits to provide for those living on the streets. The ACS will distribute them and we can also have them at the ready, if we are comfortable doing that.
 
Please join us for a Hygiene Kit Assembly event for Tuesday, July 23, 5:30-6:30 pm at Monte Vista Christian Church. Afterward we invite all to join at a local brewpub for continuing fun. Sign up here to volunteer to bring components, either to the event or to drop them during office hours of the MVCC, all information is on the sheet including the opportunity to donate funds for someone else to shop for you. 
 
Let's become part of the solution and get to know each other. Action supports others and energizes us.
 
Also....You are also invited to the Ribbon Cutting of the new ACS facility tomorrow.
Let's show our support for the positive work of the Albuquerque Community Safety.

Thank you for reading this, and thank you for joining together to make a difference.
May the sweet rain soften our hearts, open our minds and not flood anyone!
Meta.
