Bash

My name is Bash, I am a Five year Community Care Worker, a white trans masc non-binary, disabled asexual/aromantic dude who has worked across  all social media platforms.

My friend, Rhizome a queer, nonbinary, Black and older has been someone I've been following now for around  five years. The past few years we have gotten very close.

When I was asked to join a support team for Rhizome I was glad there was finally going to be a time that I could give back to Rhizome even in small part for how much Rhizome has given to me and the entire queer, and leftist community.

Encapsulating just exactly what Rhizome does, writes about, and shares with the our community is difficult.

Because Rhizome's work is so expansive across  so many marginalizations  and subjects, my growth from having known them is exponential, so too has the growth of all who follow them.
They have been giving to the queer and leftist community for decades, expanding knowledge, political theory and language.

They have not done this easily, without risk or suffering, they have not done this without personal loss.

Rhizome educates us to this day specifically target intersectional areas such as ageism and archiaomisogyny, misognoir, trans misogyny, anti-Blackness, decolonization and colonialism through out culture, social contract, social capitol, the structures of these things and their dynamics, the unpacking and the necessary destruction of convention and ultimately, they bring a voice clearer and more compassionate than you have ever heard, while bearing the righteous rage of someone too long having suffered under these pervasive, insidious and fatal structures.
and because of these same structures they are now having to start their entire life over with their child, and their pets.
 

Starting from zero they will be uprooting everything they have known for decades, with nothing in savings, no resources, no wealthy family or friends, no colleagues to bear them out. 

And now we call on you. They have been served a notice to vacate by their landlord - Rhizome and their son must move by the end of June.
 

Whether Rhizome and their child will be homeless by the end of the month or if they survive is now in our hands, and in yours if you've read this.
