You all are fabulous; thank you for the kind words.
Things are a little quieter here now; B and J are getting settled in a bit, they have some clothes -- some retrieved from where they were staying before, some bought -- (though somehow we managed to make it out of Value Village without ringing up or taking the shirts we'd picked out for B. -- my bad. We will go get more tomorrow.) and are beginning to meet some people.
Various people have asked me what they can do to help.
The main thing you can do to help, if you care to, is this: post the url for www.resisters.ca in your lj. No matter where you live in the world, even if you think nobody in the US reads your journal.
The very best is if you both post it as readable text and link to the page, like this: www.resisters.ca
Gack this icon and use it if you like, too. Or make your own with the url on it. I'm not asking people to comment-spam people, cause that is vile, but if you care to use an icon with the url on it when you're commenting on journals anyway, that would rock.
The goal is twofold: first of all, obviously, we can use money. Getting people settled when they've come up here with nothing costs money. Dealing with Immigration costs money. Taking an appeal of a rejected refugee application to the Supreme Court of Canada costs money. If people want to donate, that would be nice.
But that's not the main thing. The main thing is that the US military does not want its members to know that we exist.
Our houseguests are with us right now because one of them saw the url for www.resisters.ca somewhere, and therefore knew that if they were ready to take the step of coming up here there would be help and support for them.
Plain and simple, we need to get that url in front of as many eyeballs as possible. It's easy to remember, once seen. Once is enough. Something they can tuck away in their memory, for the day when they need it.
So if any of you did that? That would rock.
