Solidarity isn’t the whole of the work required, but it’s the root of it
A sign outside a neighbor’s gate reads “community is resistance.” It’s written in green paint on a white background. Orange flowers decorate the sign.

Today’s state violence and copaganda out of Broadview show that we can’t expect material conditions to improve much with the removal of CBP from the city.

If you’re also mad, come make and distribute some whistle kits about it

Anyone want to help me carry 10-20,000 whistles up a flight of stairs?
Piles of large UPS boxes sit outside my front door. The stack is about 5’ high and 3’ deep. Yikes!
