From my neighbor:
Found: Polydactyl Juvenile Male Cat Orange/White
"This little guy showed up crying on my back porch yesterday. He doesn't have a collar and seemed pretty hungry but didn't appear to be in bad shape. He has an extra toe on each of his two front paws and is extremely sweet. I gave him food because I'm a huge sucker for cats but I've got two of my own and can't take on the responsibility of another. I'm hoping someone knows if he has a home I can return him to! I think he is around 1 year, maybe a little younger and doesn't appear to be neutered. I am taking him in to be scanned for a chip in a bit and in the meantime he is well fed."

Fundraising for FOIA'd documents for Henrico VA Police dept mental health training--shot unarmed bipolar man in torso
Mindful Liberation Project, a radical mental health group in Richmond, VA, has put in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request requesting training that Henrico VA police officers receive for dealing with people with mental illness--since they decided to randomly shoot an unarmed bipolar man, Allen Skeens, in the torso on April 26. We received an email from Henrico Police Dept. in response to our request, saying that it'll be almost $200 for the documents.
With these documents we hope to shed light on training weaknesses or problems that Henrico Police officers have in regard to handling the "mentally ill" and we will do what we can to advocate for this man and better training for officers.

MLP is a community activist group, and because of that we are not funded by any group, political party, or larger organization. We are all volunteers and do small fundraisers ourselves, such as having potlucks or selling zines. This is why we can't just pull $200 out of thin air :)
Thanks, everyone.
