I agree it would require someone with really deep pockets to get something on this scale launched.

I am doing my small part locally. I have increased my (modest) monthly donations to local non-profits that support immigrants - their funding is in danger just when the needs are greatest.

I have also increased my my monthly donation to the local groups that help cover the holes in our social safety net including:

* the central regional food bank that distributes to various decentralized food pantries in the area

* the local meals on wheels program

* a crisis support group that helps vetted clients get emergency funds to cover back rent (to prevent eviction) and utility payments (so utilities aren't shut off)

* a program that focuses on helping working families experiencing homelessness get on the path to self-sufficiency
