Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Today is day 139 of the ICE occupation of MN. If ICE hasn’t come to your city or town yet, let us tell you: NOW is the time to organize. Build trusting relationships. Get folks into Signal groups now, based on trust and connections. It will make what comes next so, so much easier.
