Tired of wasteful holiday consumerism?
The #AltUBI button in a stocking is a perfect alternative
Give the gift of Community Care participation
The impact? A person's housing security and community strength
That's magic

Some of these are very cute and being a big ol sticker means AltUBI community support boards can be put just about anywhere very easily and cheaply

I am also aiming to include two stickers in every Christmas card I send. The AltUBI information sticker (altubi.myspreadshop.com/sticker+vr+a...) and a random one so that they have a little starter kit to grow an AltUBI community support board from

The need is so overwhelming right now. The desperation is palpable.

Thank you so much for uplifting this!
We can help put giving instead of consumerism into Christmas again

too many people are suffering and dying of unmet needs

capitalism is untenable

we need a system that’s built to support everyone

#AltUBI builds universal basic income through mutual aid

can you pledge $5 a month or more to help create a better future? #UBI #MutualAid

Cute skunk on pile of trash holding up finger hearts and a QR code that says “join to support us” other text reads “mutual aid saves lives”

(You can honestly slip anything in their stocking that will fit and they will use
The main take away is that whoever you get in your stocking you support for the year and sport their graphic to help get them fully supported as quickly as possible)
