Getting your clothes repaired for free at the public library is a form of resistance! Refusing to buy in to a culture of disposable fashion, keeping things out of landfill, it doesn’t seem like much, but it’s powerful.
Despite city budget cuts, we still got funded to do these repair clinics this year which is awesome. But the fact that we could have lost these events, and the fact that other important services are being cut in SF, I can’t help but think… How the actual F@#! can there be 30 billionaires living in this city (yes I said billionaires) and any single non-profit isn’t being funded??!!
How can you have so much money and not want to use it to help your community and those around you?? What is wrong with rich people?? Ok, I know, not ALL rich people… I just can’t fathom an existence where I didn’t feel in my bones the need to help other people.
Sorry, I’m just having some feelings over here because i believe if someone has the privilege to be able to give back, it’s a moral imperative that they do so.
Anyway… Our next mending clinic is at the Parkside branch!
