      There is too much trauma in Central Virginia. Too much. [cw: sexual violence] On my way home from grabbing lunch just now, I was around the corner from my house and a woman nearly threw herself in front of my car.

      I stopped. She was in obviously bad shape. She told me she needed help. She'd been raped and was from out of town. She had no idea where she was and had no place to stay.

      She was begging for help. Not money. I couldn't just leave her there. She said she had an address of someone who was agreeing to take her in until a meeting with a social services group later in the week.

      She didn't want to go to the police or the hospital. Ok. I went to the ATM to give her some cash anyways, brought her to the address she gave me.

      In Charlottesville, we've been building a community defense network to help people in need like this. Cash, shelter, safe spaces. Community defense is mutual aid.

          We have to have these community resources in place because this is a place of ceaseless trauma. And the authorities do nothing.

          There is so much to do. So much to heal. So much violence. So much pain. So much pain.

          Oh, and before all the white supremacists jump on this and say "SEE! SHE'S PART OF A TERRORIST NETWORK" our community defense network is about resource sharing, not violence.

          This involves things like: - providing meal support to victims who STILL CAN'T WORK BECAUSE THEY GOT ATTACKED BY A NAZI WITH A CAR - providing maintenance such as lawncare, snow removal (if it ever snows), etc. - emergency cash for stuff - buddy system so no one walks alone - etc

          Among other thoughts, thinking that she was pretty fortunate it was your car, and hoping that hasn't taken too great a toll on you.
