Solar Survival Support

Survival is anything that helps us to live, in the most full ways we can. We survive by any means necessary. NEUROMANCERS defines some of these things as community & shelter; healing & healthcare; cultural foods; affirming clothing; political education; joy, rest and nourishment.
