Update: the interview has been moved to Wednesday afternoon, at 1:00pm.

Dylan Castellanos @dylancas87.bsky.social · 1d

I have an interview tomorrow morning.

Please pray that I get hired.

And please, if anyone can, donate to us so that we can pay our rent on Thursday.
If I get hired, we'll still need help making ends meet until I get paid.

If you care at all for the safety and well being of Indigenous people, then please help my mother and I, two Afro-Indigenous survivors of domestic violence, so that we don't end up homeless.

People need to contemplate how absolutely fucked up you have to be to get convicted of IMMEASURABLE cruelty to native people by the folks in charge of the inquisition

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Haven't gotten anything since yesterday.
Rent is due this Thursday.
If anyone can help us get it covered so that we don't become homeless, please help us.
We didn't escape DV just to end up homeless.

Thank you to the person who donated to us.
It has stalled at $10.
If people could please match this amount, we would be able to reach our weekly goal before Thursday.

🆘 This is an emergency! 🆘
Our weekly rent is due on Thursday, but we're stuck at $0/$400, with no hope in sight to get it paid without donations.

My mother has painful lumps spreading inside of her body.
We don't have the money for a doctor or insurance.
We don't even have the money to pay our rent.
We have nothing and no one but each other, and the kind people who have helped us over these months.
I am begging.
We NEED help.

Going to clarify that my mother is a cancer survivor.
She had cervical cancer back in the 90s.

The fact that she now has lumps spreading throughout her body has me terrified of losing her.

With no insurance and no money, we have no idea what's going on.

If you're fortunate enough to have a steady income, with the ability to buy food, pay all your bills on time, go shopping , go on vacation, etc, & still have money left over, then please consider making a donation.
Any amount, even $10, is a step towards us staying housed another week.

Today I took questions from more than a dozen South Asian news outlets and spoke about our agenda to make this city affordable for each and every New Yorker.

Zohran sits at a long conference table, back to the camera, with more than a dozen journalists, some with cameras, facing him.

Big Staten Island canvass today, despite the dreary weather.

I’m so grateful for the thousands of volunteers who bring this campaign directly to New Yorkers across the five boroughs every single week.
