My original game plan was, go back & forth from home, because hotels are expensive and my consulting stuff is new and still getting off the ground (or was, until I had to go into hiding out of state because nazis literally showed up at my door at nearly midnight to threaten me).

Seems like it makes the most sense now to find a nearby hotel with good security and just make sure I'm not not alone going back and forth from the convention center, right? I don't really feel safe putting myself in a situation where nazis might catch me coming home at night.

The only thing is, it seems like hotels are almost all booked up, and also I definitely did not plan or budget to stay in a center city-rate hotel for four days.

I have no problem encouraging folks to support my work in general, but honestly I've been really reluctant to do a gofundme or whatever around security stuff relating to the threatening Proud Boys home visit, especially in the wake of Andy Ngo's gimmick and grift.

A lot of generous folks have offered to kick in on a gofundme for practical stuff like this, and I'm not 100% ruling it out if it comes down to it, but right now I'd love help thinking creatively about solving this problem without making open-ended cash asks.

There have got to be folks with like, an extra bed in a double, right? Or maybe
@Netroots_Nation has some backup rooms for emergencies/contingencies and might be up for allocating one to this situation giving the circumstances?Show this thread -
Anyway, thanks in advance for all the solidarity folks have show, and for your help brainstorming on this! Again, I know the simplest answer is, just do a gofundme, but I really do feel like our pal Andy Ngo kinda poisoned the waters on that one.
