UPDATE: We have met and exceeded our goal! We have kept Abdou from eviciton and jail, and secured several months of rent going forward for him and his family! Thank you so much to everyone who pitched in, you did a genuinely good and beautiful thing. Abdou himself is very happy and grateful and extends his deep apprciation to everyone who pitched in!

This is so important: If even a fraction of our audience pitches in as little as $5, we can make a HUGE positive impact on a family... a family you and I do not know, a family we will never meet, a family whose fate will never make it into our headlines -- but a family nonetheless. Human beings who, for whatever complex chain of causal reasons, are in a position where the Rev Left audience is their last and only hope: their last and only hope of staying in their home, and their last and only hope of keeping Abdou (their son and brother and father figure... and our comrade) a free man so that he can continue to provide for his family and be in their lives.
