With the upcoming reduction in services, we expect to find more and more people in need in the coming weeks. We (and our friends downtown!) would appreciate any support you can send our way so we can keep our distro going strong through the winter (see below)!

He's said he's blocking people, so we'll add this here for context just in case

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!

A new sticker!

(All the money we raise selling things goes to fund our weekly community relief distro)

Today is the great abolitionist John Brown's birthday

Brown looked at a racist, genocidal status quo and decided it was wrong, so he dedicated (and eventually gave) his life to trying to right that wrong

His soul goes marching on!

Every week, the RIJBGC and many local comrades bring food, hot drinks, socks, blankets, safer use kits, and other comfort and survival supplies to our friends in the downtown providence community. Want to help keep our supplies stable?

Want an easy way to do something nice? Head over to the Valley Breeze's Valley Community Awards (see next) and nominate Bonnie Piekarski under Local Heroes and The Milagros Project under Local Nonprofit. Bonnie and Milagros have done SO much to help our mutual aid program!

We were glad to be asked to help out at the Providence General Assembly's march over the weekend. And thanks to our comrades from @jbgc.bsky.social for making the drive to join us! We protect us!

The folks at the Matthewson Street Church are doing so much good work - would you like to pitch in?

165 years and about 5 hours ago, John Brown was hanged for his raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry

In his last letter to his wife Mary Ann, he wrote "I cannot remember a night so dark as to have hindered the coming day"

A better world is possible; we just have to build

Don't cross the picket line. Please pause ordering anything from our wishlist until this is over.

But also please send $ to @rijbgc on Venmo ^_^

Bad news, friends. Meta is nuking antifascist accounts, so we've lost our Instagram, which was our main source of support for our relief distro. Terrible timing since we're gearing up for winter! Can you help us get eyes on these links? It'd be big for us!

It was the fifth then and it's the sixth now, but it's actually fuck the fourth all year long, so that's ok!

We were happy to be able to distribute so many harm reduction supplies and it was great seeing so many old friends and meeting so many new people!
