Over 100,000 people are now in Armenia after they have been forced to flee upon fear of death or worse. The Armenian state on its own cannot handle the immediate needs of this many refugees. Our goal is to give a targeted monthly grant to the families most in need. Those with many young children, widows, the disabled, and others in the amount of 100,000AMD (253$) for 6 months per family. We can expand this program as funds allow. They can use this money any way they see fit. Mostly to cover rent in a country where rental costs have gone up over 300% in the last 2 years. If you already support the show, you're already supporting the program. However, if you would like to donate more or make a one-time donation, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. In this show we always talk about the people caught within the grinding gears of history, those who have been allowed to fall through the cracks of blind military violence, international apathy, and the brutality of empire. Together, today, we can choose deeds over words unlike so many other international organizations, governments, and world powers that we have tasked with doing so.
