Reno/Sparks Mutual Aid

We are a no-barrier, consensus-based, member-powered mutual aid group operating in Northern Nevada and primarily based out of Reno. We were founded in March 2020. Join us at bit.ly/3gOp7El and donate to the @helpsierralungs coalition at helpsierrabreathe.org

We are angered and sickened by this attack on mutual aid volunteers and unsheltered neighbors. An injury to one is an injury to all. Please donate to help. Thank you to @FamilySoupReno for getting this underway so fast.

[THREAD] 🧵 We are here to ask for support for our comrades Reno Food Not Bombs, who were victims of a traffic collision that put two organizers in the hospital and likely caused the loss of life for one unsheltered woman. >>

@ProfessorPlague @mud_mermaid Also same at MK’s house

@mud_mermaid Very real. I would offer to help if i wasn’t a disease vector at the moment myself.

Need stuff from the store but I've spent so much on delivery already this month but then I'd have to go with an infant to a place where no one masks & may potentially spend a deadly & disabling disease to said infant... I need like and N95 car seat cover or something 😑😷

@mud_mermaid You could post in our group to see if anyone would be willing to pick up an order for you if they were planning to go.

Following these #mosquitofire tweets is terrifying and gut-wrenching. #ClimateCrisis

"Stay indoors with the windows closed": Smoke from the Mosquito Fire burning in rural Placer and El Dorado counties is making the air unhealthy to breathe in the Sacramento region. cbsn.ws/3DdGVoo

@neilbyrne_CT @RyanKellyMusic @byrneandkelly @AnitaCastleberr @Karjr629 We we’re lucky with the weather for the Tahoe Retreat. The Mosquito Fire has made Tahoe’s air quality poor.

SR-193 has been closed from 5.7 miles east of the Placer/El Dorado County line at Pilgrim Road to Black Oak Mine Road due to the #mosquitofire. ETO is unknown at this time. Please avoid the area if possible to allow emergency crews access. #trafficalert @CHPAuburn @PlacerSheriff

We’re still around, and as the Mosquito Fire causes smoke to roll into Reno, remember we have N95 masks and we do have a limited supply of Blue Air air purifiers available. Follow @HelpSierraLungs for more!

Team Nnedi is excited to sponsor this mutual aid gathering Sunday. Mutual aid helps our communities to fulfill the needs of vulnerable people that our government has long since ignored. Mutual aid is community caring for community and building a sustainable network of support.

Cathy Dykstra evicted an elderly disabled couple in Sparks, Nev. so her failson could move into a duplex she bought. They begged for a few more days as he locked them out with WCSD. There is no shelter space.

@HelenReno1 @Beau_Keenan Is this what you teach your mentees, Beau?

@HelenReno1 Realtor Sam Dykstra claims to have been mentored and taken under the wing of @Beau_Keenan Sam knew that not allowing advocates a bit more time, even a few more hours, that the sick and elderly couple would be homeless.

@HelenReno1 @dicksonremedia They had till 4pm to vacate, but because a neighbor asked Little Landlord Fauntleroy how he could sleep at night, he retaliated against the tenants by immediately changing the locks and calling Animal Control to seize their pets.

@HelenReno1 @dicksonremedia Part 2 of interaction.

@HelenReno1 @dicksonremedia On the 3 day eviction Samuel Dyksta is listed as the landlord. His email is a dicksonrealty email.

@dicksonremedia is this how your property managers behave? Misrepresentation and bullying elderly disabled people? Or is your agent using his business email outside of brokerage business 🤔 He said he was representing his client. Is Cathy Dykstra your client?
