From the Decompression team:

It’s scary in Northern California right now. The fires raging in the North Bay have caused heartbreaking damage to the homes and livelihoods of thousands of people, including many in our community, and the ash and smoke have blown all the way to the Bay Area. It’s hard to imagine holding Decompression here during all this — but we are. It’s important.

We have to come together in times like these. Being in community breeds resiliency far better than staying home. And as always, when there are urgent community needs during a Burning Man event, groups of participants have organized relief efforts at Decompression:

* Skinny Kitty Teahouse is collecting clothing (shirts, pants, socks, shoes, new underwear) for adults and children, canned food, blankets, pillows and toys.

* The Kazbah is collecting socks, boxers, tote bags, potatoes, onions, blankets, sleeping bags and pillows.

* Burners Without Borders is holding a tool donation drive at Decompression. Details here: http://bit.ly/2wUkO0d

(If you are interested in finding out more about how to volunteer and get involved, visit BWB at the event.)

Please bring only items detailed here, and make sure they’re in good condition, or they may not be accepted.

Yes, you might be planning to skip Decom and go volunteer up north. If that’s what you’re called to do, please go, and please be safe. For those who will be in the Bay this weekend, SF Decompression will be here for you — and for the victims of the North Bay fires. Let’s come together and remember why we say “Welcome home.”

For your health and safety, check the air quality on Saturday and bring breathing masks for yourself and a few to share. Radical Self-reliance, Civic Responsibility and Gifting matter even more right now.
