The time to prepare your legal documents is NOW.

My beautiful community,

It is time to ensure our families are safe despite what the government is or is not doing. We cannot wait until we NEED to produce these documents, we need to have them in place and copies secured in safe places and with trusted friends or allies. On Wednesday, February 26th we are hosting a “Power of Attorney” night and I encourage - no I PLEAD with you to come and take advantage of the legal instruction we will be receiving. This includes General Power of Attorneys, Medical Power of Attorneys, HIPPA, and Mental and Physical Health Directives. If you were to be involved in an accident or unable to communicate for yourself, who would the hospital call? Your next of kin? In many cases that may be a parent or sibling that may not be supportive of you authentic self or your relationship status. We cannot rely on people who merely tolerate us to make these decisions. We must ensure these things are in place and ready in case something arises. You should file the Medical/Physical/HIPPA forms with your primary care physician, it is important the medical community has this knowledge and reached out to the correct people. You should have copies secured in a safe place at your home as well as copies with friends that will guard them diligently. I do not mean to sound hyperbolic or to fearmonger in anyway, but the phrase “better safe than sorry” is well known and I would never want to see that impact our community. If you would like to attend our POA night, please RSVP HERE so we have enough legal packets.
