Dear Friends,

Rock Dove needs your help.  We are building our directory of free and low-cost services in the city (for you!), and we want to know a lot more about all of them--how free/low cost their services are in practice, who they serve, how receptive they are to folks with radical politics, queer folks, undocumented folks, folks of color, folks with criminal records, the quality of their services, the accessibility of their space, childcare options, their openness to non-Western medical practices, and so on.  When we know these things, we'll put them online, and they'll be available to you and everyone you know and love.  We think that will be very useful.

This is where you come in.  We are looking for a crew of volunteers to check out the list of clinics and services we've developed.  Some of this could happen over the phone, some would involve going in person to these clinics and seeing how they match up to the criteria we hope for in places that care for our health.  All of it could happen flexibly and at your own pace/schedule.  We have the (always growing) list of sites, the (always evolving) list of questions we'd like to ask them--all we need is you.

So please join us on Tuesday, December 4th at 7pm at EarthMatters cafe (177 Ludlow St. just below Houston) for our open meeting where we will discuss this and other ways you can become involved in Rock Dove.  If you can't make the meeting but would like to help (even just a couple visits would make a difference), drop us a line and we'll work it out. In the meantime, please let us know if you might be interested, how much time you think you'd have to give, whether you think you'll be able to join us on the 4th, and anything else you'd like us to know. You can write to rockdovecollective@riseup.net, or to me directly at danielle@rockdovecollective.org.

Be well,
the Rock Dove Collective
