What does SWAID do? s-w-a-i-d I should say yeah so sweet basically provides. The community can access microgrants and we will help you with a small microgrant. normally 100 to 200. We give people grocery gift cards and we also do harm reduction supplies. so one of the big things that we do is harm production. We do Plan B condoms, internal condoms, and clean needles. We do alcohol prep pads for cleaning things out. We do all these kinds of harm reduction supplies for our community. and actually we pretty much give those harm reduction supplies to anybody that needs them. We don't mean testing or actually asking you to prove that you're a part of our community. We want to make sure that people are safe of course. Everybody knows that it's not just our community. It's the entire United States that has an epidemic of this problem. and pretty much nobody's doing anything about it. that we also have like fentanyl test strips. things like that. that we're giving out to people. We just really want to make sure that not just our co-workers and people in our community can stay safe. but then everybody can try to stay safe and be healthy. and you know that we can just kind of love people. In terms of the mutual aid and the grants helping out in terms of plan b or other contraceptives and protection, have you guys had any additional obstacles since Roe was overturned a few months ago? or more requests on that front? We've had tons more requests. There are a lot of people who are really freaking out, really afraid that they're not gonna be able to get this. there are people that want to stockpile this in advance because they're afraid what if in my state I'm not going to be able to get this or I'm not going to be able to get an abortion leader. or what if they outlaw Plan B. There have been tons of people who've been writing in emails and I'm Ava and I handled a lot of the requests. and so many many of the requests that come in saved can I please get supplies? I really need to have an advanced provision because what if we can't get this in the future. yeah absolutely.
