Mutual Aid Call-Out for a Community Member in Crisis ๐Ÿ’œ

Ripple Community Collective is asking our community to come together in support of a Black q***r femme community activist currently facing an ongoing housing and safety crisis.

For months, she has been navigating repeated police interactions, housing instability, and the profound impacts of CPTSD rooted in lifelong experiences of police violence. According to those supporting her, police have repeatedly attended her home, including late-night visits, creating an environment of fear and ongoing distress while she attempts to maintain her housing and wellbeing.

At the same time, she is navigating tenant rights issues and awaiting ODSP support. The combined weight of these circumstances has created significant financial and emotional hardship.

We know that systems often fail people when they are most vulnerable. This is where community can step in.

We're hoping to help raise $1,000 toward rent and immediate stability needs while she navigates this difficult chapter.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps reduce pressure and creates a little more breathing room for someone who has spent years advocating for others while carrying an enormous burden herself.

If you're unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this post and sending words of encouragement.

Community care means showing up for one another when the road gets hard. Let's help remind our neighbour that she doesn't have to walk this alone. ๐ŸŒฟ

๐ŸŽถโœจ Tomorrow Night! โœจ๐ŸŽถ

Ripple Community Collective wants to send a huge shoutout to the incredible Andrea Ramolo, musician, community builder, creative powerhouse, and a friend and supporter of Ripple Community Collective since our earliest days. ๐Ÿ’œ

Andrea's passion for creating spaces where artists can connect, thrive, and be celebrated is part of what makes Toronto's arts community so special. Tomorrow she's bringing that vision to life once again through the third annual Our Music Festival.

๐ŸŒŸ Our Music Festival ๐Ÿ“… Saturday, May 30 ๐Ÿ“ The Mod Club, Toronto ๐Ÿšช Doors: 6:30 PM ๐ŸŽค Show: 7:30 PM

Celebrating and uplifting female and gender-diverse artists, this year's lineup includes:

๐ŸŽถ Alysha Brilla
๐ŸŽถ Anyma Ora
๐ŸŽถ Ammoye
๐ŸŽถ Kimmortal
๐ŸŽถ Maia Davies
๐ŸŽถ DJ Me Time

More than a music festival, it's a celebration of connection, empowerment, creativity, and community.

๐Ÿ’œ Even better, Ripple Community Collective has access to a small number of free festival passes for community members who would like to attend but may not otherwise be able to.

If you'd like to join us, send us a message as soon as possible and we'll do our best to connect you with a pass.

Thank you, Andrea, for everything you do to support artists, community, and the beautiful ripple effects that happen when people come together through music. ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŽถโœจ

Let's All Celebrate Lara's 1111th Day of Sobriety! ๐ŸŽ‰

Today we want to celebrate something truly remarkable.

Congratulations, Lara-- on 1111 days of sobriety. ๐Ÿ’œโœจ

Your commitment to healing has touched so many lives. Through your courage, honesty, perseverance, and willingness to keep showing up for yourself and others, you've created a ripple of positive change that extends far beyond what any of us can see.

We are so honoured to walk beside you in community, friendship, healing, and mutual support. Your journey inspires us. Your resilience reminds us what is possible. Your example makes our communities stronger, safer, and more compassionate.

One of the ways we'd like to honour this milestone is by helping support your ongoing health and healing journey.

We're hoping to raise $200 toward a water purification system that will help provide cleaner, healthier water and support Lara's immune system and recovery.

Anyone who knows Lara knows how much of herself she pours into helping others. Through her work with Ripple Community Collective, outreach efforts, community organizing, and countless acts of care behind the scenes, she has touched more lives than she will ever fully know.

When we invest in the wellbeing of the people who hold our communities together, that care ripples outward ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’œ

Self-care and healthy boundaries are the foundation of any sustainable resistance--- especially for front line organizers, and all those engaging in community care, mutual aid and activism.

Heart-led creative energy isnโ€™t a luxury in a crisis.
Itโ€™s resistance.
They want us numb, divided, and exhausted.
Creation is how we stay human.
Connection is how we stay dangerous.
Art, community care, dance and collective imagination arenโ€™t distractions from the fight.
Theyโ€™re how we survive it.
Theyโ€™re how we win. โœŠ๐Ÿฝโค๏ธ
