Moving from mobilizing to organizing. Read through, ask questions! People are mobilized - showing up to protests, rallies, calling representatives. Now, let's organize.
White background, top of image reads tools of mobilization are great for networking and getting individuals involved in organizing. However in order to prepare for a general strike this massive we'll need to go from mobilizing to organizing. Figure in center of image has box on left reading mobilizing short-term with an arrow pointing to circles reading marches, protests, online campaigns, writing politicians, calling politicians. Text at the bottom reads this strategy tends to depend on appealing to the hearts and conscience of the ruling class when it's obvious they have neither. White background, black text that starts at the top. Reads organize organize organize! quote by Kwame Ture. In red text reads when communities are organized they are much harder to demobilize because... in black text reads their power comes from self sufficiency rather than reliance on external systems, they are proactive instead of reactive, setting their own agendas rather than responding to crises alone, they are educationally and structurally equipped to resist propaganda and co-option. White background, black text at the top reads organizing requires intentional actions to establish sustainable structures that empower communities to take control of their lives and address systemic issues. Figure in center of image has black rectangle on left reading organizing long-term with an arrow pointing right to circles reading food sovereignty, shelter/housing, immediate needs, safety, healthcare/mental health. Black text underneath reads this strategy ensures the community begins transitioning from reactive mobilization to proactive organizing. Black text at top reads the masses must be organized to understand their own power quote by Kwame Ture. Figure in center of image has black rectangle on the right that reads survival programs with arrow pointing right to circles reading mutual aid/time banking, food co-ops/pantries/gardens, community education, free healthcare clinics, community defense.

INBOX: @runforsomething.net has surpassed 200,000 sign-ups from people ready to run for office since launching in 2017.

Almost 40,000 of those have come in just since Election Day.

Per the org it's now "the largest candidate pipeline of any political organization in the country."

Trump said the "homegrown criminals" are next. That means anyone they claim to be a terrorist is off to CECOT.
Here's what Trump thinks terrorism is:
1. Condemning Israel
2. Tesla vandalism
3. Being brown
4. Having a cool gender
5. free space ---

cause when they come for one, they come for all.

On April 15, 1848, 77 enslaved men, women & children boarded The Pearl in the single largest recorded escape attempt in U.S. history. Despite being captured, their resilience & fight for freedom fueled the abolitionist cause. 127 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case.

Everyday we are seeing due process stripped away. While our movement is bigger than Trump, our movement will also disrupted the current administration.

"this is a report that indicates that Donald Trump is now overseeing a massive transnational Human Trafficking ring.

So what’s the shocking thing?

That this isn’t the first time Donald Trump has been accused of Human Trafficking." #AbregoGarcia #CECOT

BREAKING NEWS: America Is Back in the International Slave Trade
A Trump administration filing in federal court in Maryland may be the most shocking confession any presidential administration has made in generations—as it signals a reinstitution of the slave trade.

🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest.

Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

The US is deporting LEGAL residents and citizens. We will not stand by and let them 'disappear' another human being.

How a fully decentralized strike card works. Other groups & organizations can host their own strike card, which only reports back numbers. People too. Eventually, hundreds, if not thousands, are collecting commitments, making this safer and easier to get to 3.5%.

It's not shocking that the US educational system has created generations of people that do not know how to mobilize. Civil disobedience is not tolerated, and from a young age we are taught to ignore our humanity to learn to be a machine.

Legal U.S. citizens are being disappeared and sent abroad without cause or due process. None of us will be spared unless we bend our knee to fascism.

Democracy begins and ends with us. We must hold the line and resist whenever possible.

In a system built to break spirits, this letter is a quiet act of defiance. It speaks of hope that endures, dignity that persists, and a future still worth fighting for. Even in the darkest places, resistance finds a voice. Let it echo. (1/2) #FreeMahmoud #FreeKhalil #DefendDissent #BringThemBack
