We love a good history book, especially ones that challenge what we were taught in school and amplify black voices.
Discussion meeting TBA. Please reach out if you need assistance obtaining a copy!

Actually, there is a global tradition of resistance/ anti-colonial groups creating their own schools *and* physical training /self-defense classes for communities.
I'm just lounging here thinking each class should end with a 20 minute strength training session, because some of us are scrolling too damned much and we need to get ready for whatever's coming.

Many Americans, however, have their own solutions when the government decides search warrants are optional. Without laws, society becomes lawless setting a dangerous precedent.

Y'all. If you're part of the resistance...Keep showing up.
Rest when you need to. Remember this is a marathon or a relay race, not a sprint.
Not everyone has the same skillset. Use that to place people where they fit best.
Give them hell.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse
