tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day. my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

today's report: our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.

Would be neat if @whstancil.bsky.social used his massive following to help out with this (I looked to see if he already has but didn’t find anything)

Can I ask how we adopt a rent, Ashley? Do we just pick one of the listings under "Rent Relief Funds" and point people there, or is there another list for specific rents?

you message me, asiniiwiikwe.72 on signal, i give you one family and their rent need, you have people venmo you, you venmo the family in one transaction once you hit the target, and send me a screenshot on signal and then i mark it on my list and give you a little digital kiss on the forehead

I messaged too…first time using signal! I definitely feel like an Old.

basically none of these rent funds either 1. have enough for everyone or 2. can get it to them fast enough so we are doing it peer to peer so no one is fundraising a ton and getting their venmo frozen

ashley fairbanks

we have a list of folks we have prioritized because they are at immediate risk of eviction, have large families, have lost a breadwinner to ICE detention, etc coming directly from people who know them

Wondering if you might be able to share a playbook on how to set up this campaign in other cities? Hope you get your sauna!
