The main encampment of unhoused that we serve was swept today and everyone on the property was taken to jail. As of right now about twenty people are unaccounted for. This is devastating. One of them had just started a job last week, we gave him a bike to get to work on.

Sadly, some people continue to do weird things on e-bikes well into their 40’s 😩 I’m dying to know what people think when they see the water trike rolling ⚡️😎💧

There has never been a better time to integrate e-bikes into your mutual aid program.

Trust me, as an org doing very targeted mutual aid in ATX we get enough guff from the people in our neighborhood about helping people without getting more of it from folks in blue states 😩

The only good ice is the stuff we distribute twice weekly on our mutual aid trike!

Fellow revolutionaries. Torch of Texas’ main goal is to help out the community especially those who are already or will be impacted by the current administration. One of these projects we are working on is putting together and providing free emergency kits for those in need. (More in comments)

This is a group based out of Austin, Texas doing the good work by feeding the community. They operate on donations and mutual aid efforts. Meet ATX Free Fridge Project opencollective.com/atx-free-fri...

We’ve upgraded the pedicab’s brakes, wheels and built a rack so that it can accommodate 65 gallons of ice and water at 520lbs!!! This is meaningful amounts of cooling hydration for our unhoused neighbors in ATX. The mutual aid trike project is finally off the ground #mutualaid #cargobike #ebike

This is exactly what we’re talking about. We’d love to make it down for a distro sometime but our work in north Austin keeps us close to home.

Big props to PDX councilor Green for recognizing the importance of this often overlooked necessity.

We don’t do just do water, brought out 30 sandwiches, salads and snack packs to the north Austin community on Tuesday then 160lbs of hard water (ice😉) later that day. Today? 40lbs of pastries donated by Carol’s Kindness food pantry to 30 people. 7 hygiene kits from the Covid cautious community.

It’s hard to do good This is an incredible project to support!

A cool and important mutual aid project: A small group of people using e-bikes to delivering life-saving ice and water to the unhoused community in Austin, Texas, and building the related hydration and cooling infrastructure.

Our first post what’s up!!! We may spend more time doing the work than promoting, but when you see what it takes to provide water for just one medium sized encampment you might understand. Good water discipline is hard, but worth it! youtu.be/wl687AxSPkc
