P.S
We do try to avoid promoting events by groups that have abuse or harassment cases surrounding them. We have a list, but sometimes we don't know (or forget) so do let us know if we are highlighting groups or persons that are problematic.

With the last few highlights in mind, it is important that we take care of each other, check in on your friends & allies, support each other as best you can.

In Love & Solidarity always.

& @kitetalesmm.bsky.social have a new piece from a journalist from Kayin State. "When telling the story involves absorbing the despair" talking about the psychological damage that experiencing & then reporting on the situation in Myanmar can have.

Circling back to the opening post: "Sexual Harassment, Exploitation, and Abuse are preventable crimes. In revolutionary spaces, every case left unaddressed doesn’t just hurt individuals it weakens the entire movement"
