Stop waiting for them to save us.

Every time they ease up, we forget 500 years of brutality.

Liberation starts when we build our own—our art, our care, our glue between each other. That’s the work we’re doing inside Black Octopus Society.

Liberation isn’t real if it excludes.

My freedom is bound up with Black trans lives, with sisters facing misogynoir, with everyone crushed by colonization, imperialism, and land theft.

That’s the work we’re building inside Black Octopus Society.

Join us in practicing something different: body-based justice, care, and community inside Black Octopus Society.
