40 dozen tamales, over $1,300 cash to street vendors, and food to the community.

Highlight of the night: spotted a cotton candy vendor outside a grocery store so we bought everything he had and sent him home with a dozen tamales.

This is mutual aid.

This one is fascinating…still think about a recent post about bikes and science…
