Help Math 'n' Stuff recover and rebuild storefront

This time they came "shopping" at 4am with a stolen truck.

We're sick and tired of Organized Retail Crime being normalized in Seattle. This is not normal.

In the next two months, we'll be replacing our two primary doors (with more secure, and expensive, metal doors) as well as our front wall, which sustained major damage in last Tuesday morning's break-in attempt.

Yes, we have exhausted the City OED's Storefront Repair Grants. Yes, we are filing an insurance claim. Yes, we will fix the doors and wall.

We will survive this, but Organized Retail Crime and its consequences aren't going away without policy changes.

There are many ways to support us using your social capital, financial capital, and political capital.

The first two are essential for our business to be sustainable through the current/coming recession and help us immediately, the latter is where we can hopefully move the needle and eliminate the need for this type of fundraiser in the first place -- through persistent systemic change -- this is the long game.

We cannot express how much we appreciate all of the love, kindness, support, and grace you all have extended to us in our 31 years; especially the past 4, in which we have been plagued by an inordinate amount of Organized Retail Crime.
