"It is a fact people are discriminated against for being HIV positive. It is a fact the majority of the Nazi industrialists retained their wealth after war. It is a fact the night belongs to Michelob and Coke is real. It is a fact the color of your skin matters. It is a fact Crazy Eddie’s prices are insane. It is a fact that four colors red, black, green and white placed next to each other in any form are strictly forbidden by the Israeli army in the occupied Palestinian territories. This color combination can cause an arrest, a beating, a curfew, a shooting, or a news photograph. Yet it is a fact that these forbidden colors, presented as a solitary act of consciousness here in SoHo, will not precipitate a similar reaction.
From the first moment of encounter, the four colour canvases in this room will “speak” to everyone. Some will define them as an exercise in color theory, or some sort of abstraction. Some as four boring rectangular canvases hanging on the wall. Now that you’ve read this text, I hope for a different message."
hi, so i've never had to make a fundraising post but unfortunately my parents' house just suffered major storm damage that insurance is not going to cover at all because the roof was "in disrepair"
to summarize, on the night of december 17th there was a huge storm in the NJ area that dumped around 4 inches of rain in a very short time. my parent's were in the middle of getting their roof replaced, but unfortunately the contractor was going extremely slowly. this meant the roof was unprotected and essentially blew off during the storm, letting water ran into the ceiling and down the walls. the ceilings and all the drywall and insulation are shot and need to be replaced, and the roof especially needs to be replaced ASAP. they'll probably need a new contractor. unfortunately, the person they were using before did not have any kind of insurance coverage so his insurance will also not cover anything.
this is going to cost a lot of money and my parents have already been having a lot of financial difficulties the past few years. any donations are appreciated, even if it's a dollar. thank you!

Please help Paz’s family if you have the means! They are all very kind and warm people have had a very rough holiday season. Beyond the roof, a lot of the upper floors need to be replaced well as the walls, and its becoming a lot of $$$.
