To mark World Toilet Day 2018, Lava Mae will be affixing "You Are Loved" stickers on public bathroom mirrors across San Francisco and LA on Monday, November 19. Our goal is to send messages of compassion + support for our unhoused neighbors, and bring attention to the stunning lack of access to hygiene + sanitation for people experiencing homelessness in SF and everywhere. If you see a "you are loved" sticker, please take a selfie with it and share on social media using #youareloved, #worldtoiletday and #LavaMae. And please visit lovesticks.org to learn more!
@stanthonysf located at 121 Golden Gate Ave. in SF is opening their doors to provide shelter and is not turning anyone away. Their doors will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. Please spread the word and keep our unhoused neighbors indoors as the air quality index is very unhealthy in the Bay Area tonight. #airquality
Our mobile service manager Annie provides #radicalhospitality to our guests. Here's Annie giving Billy a buzz cut at our shower service site. She's not only managing our onsite operations but occasionally rolling up her sleeves and fulfilling guests requests. ❤️❤️ #LavaMae
Thank you 🙏to the 5,000 firefighters 🚒 and first responders who have poured from all over the country to help Butte County. Only 35% of the 135,000 acres of Camp Fire has been contained and will reach full containment at the end of the month. Our friend Shannon Driscoll lives in Chico, a 15-minute drive from the edge of the fire. She has set up a care package wishlist you can donate to distribute to firefighters and first responders - many who are far from home. Please help by donating here: https://amzn.to/2QE3yaf (see link in profile)
Thank you 🙏 to @thehamlinschool for putting together a respirator drive for our shower guests and unhoused neighbors in the Bay Area. The heavy smoke-filled air is unhealthy and we want to protect our guests who are limited options indoor. Here is a photo of The Hamlin School students at our Pop Up Care Village.
To Veterans of the United States of America: Thank you for your service to protect our freedom. You are the true heroes, and we are eternally grateful. #veteransday #radicalhospitality #LavaMae
This weekend will be difficult for our unhoused neighbors as many will be outside in the Bay Area - exposed to the smoky air. We are happy to report that more shelters are opening up and extending their hours. We hope everyone who is affected by the fire is safe. Stay inside and out of the smoke this weekend!
