Alright, enough moping about electoral politics. Today, I want to do something productive and signal boost some resources and opportunities available to members of my community affected by the COVID-19 crisis. If you live in the Greater Lansing area, this thread's for you:

1) If you’re a member of MSU’s @GradEmpUnion experiencing financial hardships, assistance is available through the Solidarity Grant Program. Solidarity grants never need to be repaid, and you can learn more about them here: http://geuatmsu.org/health-dental-vision/solidarity-grant/

2) If you’re a MSU student who needs additional financial assistance, the #SupportOurSpartans Student Emergency Needs Fund is offering grants up to $500. Again, this money never needs to be repaid, and you can learn more about it here: https://studentaffairs.msu.edu/vp/index.html 

3) If you’re a resident of Greater Lansing in need of food, cleaning supplies, or other resources, Lansing Area Mutual Aid (supported by @LansingDSA) has a page where you can request assistance (or volunteer time and money if you’re able): https://donorbox.org/lansing-mutual-aid-covid-19-response-donations
