Illinois has become an asylum destination for many trans refugees and is also the closest location for legal abortions for thirteen states. Carbondale, IL has a long-standing anti-authoritarian community organizing around these issues. As a compliment to the urban organizing, comrades across the region are coming together to support a rural site for more secluded and tranquil space. This rural project is being organized around existing and growing networks of skilled care practitioners, to foster the development of both patients and practitioners. An ideal property has been located, down payment collected; this fundraiser means to secure amenities and repairs for the property. We will increase the goal as the amounts are met. Material donations of items listed are also welcome to save on purchases, leave a comment or email to arrange tax-exempt receipts for donations larger than $100 and/or the value of in-kind donation!
