Supporting Work Campaign Update
Since December 2023, the Peacekeeping Task Force has been proud to support the important work of MyLunchBreak through its Patreon channel.
For nearly three years, PKTF has contributed $25 every month without interruption. While it may be a modest amount, it has been given consistently and in good faith because we recognize the value of thoughtful, critical, and objective research. MyLunchBreak has provided work worth supporting, and PKTF remains grateful for the effort, time, and dedication that goes into maintaining independent research and public discussion.
This month, however, PKTF has made the difficult decision to suspend its monthly Patreon support for MyLunchBreak, along with several other separate efforts that PKTF has supported in the past.
This is not a reflection on the quality or importance of their work. It is strictly a matter of limited resources and the need to place our current funding where it is most urgently needed.
A Necessary Shift in Priorities
PKTF is presently concentrating its available grassroots investment and donation funds on the Earthwide Emergency Services Hub, also known as the ESH portal.
The Emergency Services Hub is a new service platform that began operating in June and July of this year. It is intended to provide an ongoing emergency-reporting and response-support system for all 50 American State Assemblies, as well as participating foreign State Assemblies around the earth.
Keeping this portal active requires daily attention, monitoring, maintenance, and preparation. At present, the ESH costs approximately $30 per day on average to maintain its current functions and to continue building the future services it is intended to provide.
That daily cost adds up quickly. Although $25 per month may not seem like a large amount by itself - and in many ways it is not - every available dollar must now be directed toward keeping the Emergency Services Hub online, functional, monitored, and ready to respond.
Put simply: PKTF needs to keep the lights on.
Why the Emergency Services Hub Matters
The Emergency Services Hub cannot simply be turned on when an emergency occurs. It must remain available every day so that reports can be received, reviewed, organized, and acted upon as quickly as possible.
When emergencies are reported promptly, PKTF can help facilitate a more thorough and coordinated response. That is the purpose of the portal: to give participating assemblies and their members a dependable place to report urgent situations and help bring the right attention, information, and resources together when they are needed.
This work depends on participation.
The more people who know about the ESH portal, use it properly, and support its continued operation, the stronger the service becomes. Participation helps ensure that emergency reports do not go unseen, delayed, or lost in separate communication channels. It also helps PKTF maintain the systems needed to monitor incoming reports and support a prompt response across the United States and abroad.
A Temporary Suspension
Donations to the Emergency Services Hub have been sparse during its first roughly 60 days of operation. PKTF realizes that new services hot off the presses often require sufficient time for word to spread through personal conversations, email outreach, and the normal growth of community awareness and the like.
We believe that donations may increase as more people learn about the portal and begin to understand its value. Still, PKTF cannot afford the risk of facing another 60 days with limited support while the ESH must remain open and active every day.
For that reason, PKTF decision makers monitoring outward-facing donation efforts have decided to temporarily suspend monthly donations to MyLunchBreak and other independent supporting work. This decision is being made in anticipation of a potentially slow rollout and several more months of limited donations to the Emergency Services Hub.
The goal is not to abandon any good work. The goal is to protect the essential work that cannot be allowed to stop or suffer ongoing daily progress.
A Genuine Thank You to MyLunchBreak
PKTF sincerely thanks MyLunchBreak for the critical thinking, objective work, and hard-hitting, matter-of-fact research it has continued, and continues to provide its viewers. We are extremely grateful that PKTF was able to offer steady support from December 2023 through this month.
We hope this is a temporary pause, not a permanent ending. As support for the Emergency Services Hub becomes more stable, PKTF hopes to once again be in a position to assist valuable independent work such as MyLunchBreak.
For now, we ask everyone who values timely emergency coordination, dependable communications, quick reaction strategies, equipment gathering, and community preparedness to participate in and support the Earthwide Emergency Services Hub. Its continued operation depends on the people and assemblies it was created to serve.
