Try this. Once you've had authentic lemon curd, nothing else suffices. This one is thick and creamy so it won't weep.

🫕 How to Set Up a Community Fridge.
Not all zines are in book form. This is a single-sheet that can be printed and folded.
Found this on zinebakery.com administered by @literaturegeek.bsky.social. One of the best zine resources out there.

🌸 Hannah Gelderman created six beautifully illustrated zines for her Collective Arts for Climate Justice series.

Excellent thread by Jonathan. @elmcitytree.bsky.social
There are ways to be prepared. Experienced organizers and protesters have already figured it out. Follow them.
Everyone will have a role. Figure out what yours is now. And get really good at it.

In 1945, workers at Ford in Windsor, Ontario, staged a 99-day plant occupation demanding union recognition & fair wages. The entire city backed them—families, businesses, & other workers. After 3 mo, Ford recognized the union & agreed to wage hikes, setting a precedent for Canadian labor rights. 🧵

Indian Farmers' Strike, 2020-2021
Over 250 million people went on a general strike against Modi’s farm laws favoring big agribusiness. Sikh farmers, Hindu farmers, trade workers, truckers, students—everyone joined. Some farmers were killed. After a year of resistance, Modi repealed the laws. 🧵

In 1989, thousands of locals joined striking coal miners in VA, WV, & KY in acts of civil disobedience, work stoppages, protests, road blockages, sit-ins, and rallies against Pittston Coal after they cut healthcare benefits for retired & disabled miners. After 11 months, Pittston settled. 🧵

1968: After two Memphis sanitation workers were crushed to death in a garbage truck, 1300 Black workers walked off the job, demanding wage increases & safer working conditions. After 64 days, the assassination of MLK, and numerous (mostly peaceful) marches, all demands were met. #IAmAMan 🧵

2018: Rejecting the state's proposed 2% pay raise, and angry about the declining healthcare coverage for state employees, WV teachers - & their communities - engaged in a 9 day wildcat strike. Every public school in all 55 counties shut down. They won - a 5% raise for ALL state workers. #55Strong 🧵
