Amazing Pirate Radio Fundraiser on MSP Waves

alt

Actions speak louder than words.

Voluntarism is more powerful than corercion.

MSP-Waves listeners proved what's possible yesterday.

How it started

As a rare exception, Hive account@aggroed's Minnow Mayor Townhall was cancelled due to the Superbowl. Fair enough.

But a great number of MSP Waves listeners showed up anyway, so Hive account@r0nd0n and I decided to pirate radio, MSP Waves-style.

Just 10 minutes into the show, Hive account@occupywallets brought to our attention a post about a Lady who became homeless with the nefararious Child Protection Agency threatening to steal her three children.

The Cause: A Mother and Her 3 Children

It is the story like many others, of a young mother, who lost her partner, her job, her home, none due to her own fault. It is the story of @hickorymack who is considered homeless despite living in a clean RV, with her three children being clean, warm, fed, and loved. But that's not how the state sees it. CPS on her heals. Hive account@hickorymack is a hard working mother of three, no drug abuse, no neglect. All but hard work and saving funds where she can to improve her situation. Her kids are not hungry, her lifestyle is honorable.

Raising nearly USD 2,000

Realizing her plight, Hive account@r0nd0n and I decided to launch a spontaeous fundraiser with our amazing listeners. First, we took requests for donations of 1 minute of music for 0.5 STEEEM/SBD and after a short while we upped the amount to 1.0 STEEM/SBD per song minute. Not only that, but r0nd0n and I decided to match every donation 1:1 via Hive account@msp-waves.

The funds started to roll in en massee. The music queue grew messy - and we were treated to most unusual and great music that we might never have heard otherwise. But this wasn't about the music, it was about the spirit of Peace, Abundance, and Liberty that governs our community on the MSP/PALnet. The spirit of militant giving that surpasses corercion in all its forms. Everybody won last night. The amazing listeners, the Station, Hive account@r0nd0n and I, and a family in desperate need. Can there be a better way to spend one's evening?

After tallying up, we doubled the donation amount and sent it to Hive account@hickorymack. The total:

That's nearly USD 2,000 raised in a few hours.

Snowball effect

Donations have a snowball effect. People are still sending money to https://steemit.com/@hickorymack. You are all amazing. Thank you for your generosity!

CPS Horrors exposed - follow Hive account@familyprotection

Much horror is unleashed on innocent children and their parents on a daily basis in the West.

Overzealous bureaucrats claim to protect children, yet the state steps in when they merely disapprove of our lifestyle or circumstances.

@Candian-coconut publishes extensively under the tag #familyprotection. Please make sure to follow both accounts. Be informed, stay informed, and inform others. Lend them your support!

Once again, thank you for you being so amazing, giving, loving! And thank you for being part of PALnet and MSP Waves Radio.

with love
