I'm sorry if it seems that I'm speaking for you...if you don't want cash sent to your mailbox, then by all means we'd love to read about it in the comments.  But everyone I've asked, whether Republican/Democrat/Libertarian, they all just want another check. Especially the Socialists, they love this kind of thing.

While they squabble about stimulus package details up on Capital Hill, North Dakota organizations have come together to call upon our Congressional Delegation to get on board with the latest COVID-19 Relief Package.

Local organizations started WE STAND Together in the spring of 2020 and if your looking for resources and support this website is where you're going to find it. The coalition consists of AFL-CIO, ND Native Vote, Prairie Action ND, North Dakota Voices Network, ND Women's Network, ND Farmers Union, High Plains Fair Housing, FM Coalition to End Homelessness, Dakota Resource Council, ACLU and ND United.

Recently released, the 2020 Needs Assessment Report conducted by North Dakota State University and the Community Action Partnership of North Dakota shows that for those experiencing poverty, rental assistance is their primary concern.

So for those of us who have been able to maintain employment during the pandemic,  who haven't had to juggle time between jobs and school kids stuck at home, for those of us that think the stimulus package argument is all about the size of the check...the groups with WE STAND Together want us to more it's about much more than that.

For many, it's about keeping a roof over their family's head.

For me...I might shop the gallery below.
