@kgoff74 looks like we are pretty damn near 20 people! Could you get Liberty Legal / @madalenamonteiro to give us an IBAN we can send money to, and have them start work on this since the deadline is so near?
I’m in the process of moving this to a whatsapp group so we can coordinate this easier. I will DM everyone who wants to contribute (and any in the future) according to the poll for their Whatsapp contacts so we can make a group to facilitate this
I opened a chat with everyone who said they would contribute in the poll, except the following (due to my incompetence with technology), so hopefully they can message me: benjamin.hatten; MarketingAlly; panfenching; sherif; Theban12; ajaikrishnan
I also sent a Message to everyone who voted yes on the poll with a link to join the whatsapp group where we are coordinating the payment. Here’s a pic of how to find your NomadGate Messages:
I would sure think that the community that has so much invested emotionally, logistically, and economically would find minor contributions to this an easy ask and the potential scale of that pool could be considerable. However, as time is of the essence and the organizers seem to have reached critical mass, its time to roll. I am personally fine with the current contribution and to simplify the task for Liberty/Madeleina, would not expect a refund if the amount collected dropped the cost per family. Now that critical mass is established, families can contribute what they can/want. If funds are in excess of current need, they can be used for whatever the next challenge is. Aside from the specific and time bound need here, this is exciting to see this community organize itself economically and up its self-advocacy game. Rock on.
The Liberty Legal has already agreed to give a pro rata refund if more people join and more money is raised than is needed actually!
But yes considering this needs to be done before Tuesday Dec 2, the time to roll is indeed now! If you can message me directly I can give you the Whatsapp link!
@Bclip@jim.ewel, @MB101 , @envermisirli , @barbri : If you all are serious about chipping in, could you message me privately so I can give you the link to join the group / payment info? We’re still short a few people!
(i hit my limit about how many messages i’m allowed to initiate😅)
This has been exquisitely well-timed and effectively received by the TC. It delivered the highest-quality legal arguments against the law at the last possible moment, providing the TC with the strong legal and factual evidence necessary to solidify the veto on the basis of Legal Confidence and Equality.
