there is so much incredible resistance/organizing/mobilizing/writing going on, too much to decide on just one to post on facebook or whatever medium (google+ ?) i'm now supposed to use to share information. so, here's a list of some things that have gotten me going today:
- Prisoner Hunger Strike in CA: 6,000 incarcerated folks, hunger striking to change their horrific caged conditions! This campaign needs all our support, y'all. Thousands of strikers on the inside are in critical health conditions (aka, might die). And the CA Department of Corrections still won't negotiate. It just got NY Times coverage, for the record.
- The Care Congress: A kickoff for the Caring Across Generations campaign. Some bomb-ass transformative organizing happening! Thanks to Hand in Hand, the Domestic Workers Alliance, Jobs with Justice, and more, to "[build] a movement so we can be a nation that takes care of one another across generations.” Check out this awesome article from Colorlines.
- A Call to Action from Indigenous and Women of Color Feminists for Divestment from Israel: Cogent reflections and mobilization from a delegation journey to occupied palestine. Also - did you hear israel just passed a law making it illegal to boycott itself?! (aka, its illegal to be in israel and boycott any israeli institutions, including IN the west bank). Kids, this stuff is unreal. Except its real.
- This is why I do my job: An article from United for A Fair Economy demonstrating how much money the wealthiest 400 US households control. Imagine what kind of revolutionary organizing could be funded, how many folks' lives could be transformed, if that wealth was re-allocated? The potential is awe-inspiring.
- Elspeth is profiled for her Bold(er) Giving! Hot off the press: my rad co-worker and fearless RG co-leader speaks out about her wealth, giving, and commitment to collective liberation. <3
- Last but not least...photos of POOR's Homefulness site! Y'all, we bought real land in a real place that will manifest a real creation of the visionary Homefulness project. My heart sings every time I think about this happening.
more soon. with love,
j
