Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach.
It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors.

This is a great example of someone to not listen to. Never sign up for a protest, don't photograph or record your (or anyone's!) face, don't share that you were present, and do your best to hide your identity. A protest is a show of force, not a marketing opportunity for your personal brand!
The “don’t sign up for protests” thing is just an outgrowth of the Online tendency to one-up other people on how much you care. Oh, they’re protesting and signing people up for it? I’ll show them by claiming that’s wrong and you can care more by not signing up.

John Brown's commitment to action over rhetoric in pursuit of justice is still striking fear into the hearts of white supremacists over a century after his death

“The latest orders include removing information at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, two people familiar with the matter said, where the abolitionist John Brown led a raid seeking to arm slaves for a revolt.”

Every week, RIJBGC and our friends go out downtown in Providence to distribute survival and comfort supplies to our unhoused siblings. We are running low on some supplies (especially socks and body wipes), and would appreciate help stocking up for winter (hats, gloves, blankets) if you can!

We are legitimately looking at a genocide against trans people in the United States. That's not hyperbole. The Department of Justice isn't talking about disarming us so that we can all live quietly in peace.
There is still time to stop this, but only if cis people care enough.

Talk to a chatbot if you find yourself in mental crisis. No wait, call 911 & have the cops shoot you. No wait, call 988 & have a social worker lock you in the psych ward. The options are shit & if the culture didn’t hate the mad they wouldn’t be.

"I can't buy a Glock in my state"
There are a lot of very good striker-fired pistols on the market if you're stuck in a state that won't allow Glocks or makes them super expensive. Some suggestions:
Walther PDP
CZ P10C (this writer's favorite)
Beretta APX
Smith & Wesson M&P
Springfield Echelon
