Even in dark times, social movements for justice prevail. Storytellers can amplify their victories. This April, 32 organizers & journalists from 6 continents will gather in Mexico for The Salon of Authentic Journalism. Help us make it a reality! gofund.me/1fa0d2d6

From the great Lalo Álcaraz:

Colombia's President, Gustavo Petro, has denied landing for U.S. military planes deporting migrants. Trump has threatened sanctions and imposed tariffs. Petro isn't phased. That's how you stand up to authoritarian bullies.

The Salon of Authentic Journalism will bring together journalists and community organizers from around the world to share tactics and strategies to help social and political movements for justice to win. We have the team, we have the venue, but we need your help to make it happen. gofund.me/1fa0d2d6

Trump is uniting people like no politician ever has before...in Mexico. Mexico is as polarized as the U.S. these days (I'm in with the leftist camp) but Trump's disrespect and aggression has given common cause to folks in Mexico in common repudiation like nothing I have seen here in years.

To ward off rising cases of Covid and RSV in Mexico City, there is now a Melania hat mandate on public transportation.

Above all, let us honor the man who led the greatest nonviolent revolution in U.S. history, and reflect upon how we will organize to rebuild something better in the ashes of what has been broken. Organize. Build. Fight. Win. Onwards we march!

The 2024 Kempis family corn harvest! Mexico has no greater source of wealth than its small farmers. #Morelos #Corn #Harvest #México

I live in a pueblo near a dry forest 1 hour from Mexico City. Our land caught fire 2 years ago. It could easily have become a wildfire. Within ten minutes, 40 neighbors jumped the fence and put it out with a bucket brigade. Prevention/recovery from disasters = opportunities for mutual aid. #LAFires

Cele Castillo is a Vietnam-era war hero and more. While a DEA agent, he blew the whistle on wrongdoing by the CIA and White House during the Iran/Contra scandal. His life was upended. He’s seeking a pardon from Biden. He asked me to write a letter on his behalf [below]. Please support his request.

Approximately 2,000 endangered humpback whales still migrate along Guerrero's Costa Grande each year—a true miracle. Despite war, ecological degradation, and exploitation, our future isn’t set in stone, it's ours to fight for and to create. Being alive is a miracle. The struggle continues in 2025.
