Resistance isn’t only huge actions. Resistance can be:
-Supporting libraries
-Serving at a soup kitchen
-Sending a few bucks to mutual aid
-Donating new/gently used items
-Checking in on neighbors
-Offering your services pro-bono
-Volunteering
-Neighborhood cleanups
Helping each other is powerful

"..over the course of 15 minutes, Kendrick Lamar gave us what we needed. He was defiant, proud, vindictive, playful and celebratory. He was pro-Black and subversive, trolling and joyful, and through all the expectations and fighting and nastiness, he was ultimately victorious."

One of my favorite books on the importance of climate justice, #TheIntersectionalEnvironmentalist by Leah Thomas, could be facing a book ban this year. Make sure to get a copy from a local book store or bookshop if interested! 💙📚 #booksky
