Folks, we have TWO days to make this goal. A bit of food, water, shelter for six families & support for a mutual aid team serving fifteen displaced families. Simple.

Anything helps—especially clicking “weekly” + taking action. 1567/1900 by end of Saturday. chuffed.org/project/hope...

Last night All About Eve was on BBC 4 and I watched it while I cooked a hearty Bolognese and I felt like an ADULT. Between this and asking for massage vouchers for my birthday I think I'm reaching my most evolved self

Ahmad has had to make yet another new account. All he wants is to escape starvation and feed his family, and getting donations is the only way to do that. It's scary to see him so thin. Please help him if you can. gofund.me/69f962fc @mommunism.bsky.social @fairshare.help #SkyAid #MutualAid

3 days left on our emergency famine/shelter drive. Mohamed is displaced without shelter, but we can still help with a little food & water, especially for his ailing parents—especially paired with bold action offline.

Keep six families alive. 2724/4100 by Sunday: chuffed.org/project/hope...

The Working Class Movement Library’s exhibit on The Big Flame was so moving. Produced by 18-25 year olds who have managed to continue the spirit of the group, interviewing past members and creating their own banners. It is a youth led masterpiece!

If you’re based in Manchester it’s a must see.
