Mutual aid groups, food banks, etc are about to be under even more pressure in the US.

Post your local one's donation link here, and if you're seeing this, and you can spare a few bucks, pick one two to give to.

I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go,

…but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing

i have never been a "call your senator" type of activist, if I'm being honest. But it would mean a lot to me personally if you helped put pressure on US lawmakers to help their constituents that are in Israeli captivity as part of the aid flotilla.

The ACLU of West Virginia is aware of efforts made by a local college to intimidate protestors participating in an anti-ICE demonstration today off campus.

Volunteers will be on the ground in Bethany today and will be watching closely.

Happy to say that I attended a 2 hour subcommittee, another 2 hour general meeting, and changed some minds. Ends up there were only a few strong reluctant voices- the rest were actually excited about the idea!

Don't let a few prudes ruin your chances to make that good trouble against fascist.

Here are the facts:

Bluesky violated their own Terms of Service because they panicked and saw Nazis on twitter getting angry.

They took marching orders from the Nazis and helped them target BIPOC and trans users on their website.

2,300 people attended a rally for Bernie in Wheeling, West Virginia (population 27,000) on Friday.

Post-pandemic, young people have been moving back to Wheeling & the rally was a testament to their organizing strength.

One of my favorite regular volunteers told me, "Coming here is good for my mental health. I was getting anxious being alone so much. It's good for me to be around young people." I'm really happy some folks are getting the "mutual" in "mutual aid".

On 6/14 I went straight from a protest to the Pride festival to table for OV Mutual Aid. We didn't have a sign for our tent, so I painted one on a torn-up tablecloth I had in my bag. Next morning, ankle-deep in mud, I was hanging that same banner for flood relief. Still hard to wrap my head around.

Southern leftists, abolitionists, visibly queer people creating safe spaces, black communities under attack, midwives giving reproductive care to people who can't afford hospitals -- these are the bravest people in the country and they get done dirty by blue state liberals all the time.
"It's fine because the executive order is still barred in blue states."

Folks, PEOPLE IN RED STATES DESERVE HUMAN RIGHTS TOO, AND LOTS OF IMMIGRANTS AND MARGINALIZED PEOPLE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE EO LIVE IN RED STATES.
