Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

If you're not already connected to local organizing efforts where you are, start looking for ways to change that:

Look up if there are any mutual aid hubs around you
go to protests and ask around
try to get involved with food not bombs and see if you can get linked in with more efforts
If ICE/CBP were sent to your state, you might ask folks who organizes ICE watch in your area. Here in central NC thats a workers rights group called Siembra

Any efforts to protect our futures and our neighbors will happen through local organizing with people in YOUR community, where YOU are at. If you want a democracy, this chapter of history seems to demand that we work for it; start figuring out how to get connected.

If you have advice or encouragement for folks, please feel free to share it ❤️

I'm still trying to figure out how to get more involved myself. I have some connection to local organizing, but am trying to figure out how to get more involved when a sleep disorder has me asleep durring the day- if anyone has thoughts or suggestions for me I'd welcome them :)

Something thats been on my mind lately that might be a helpful idea for others is linking up with friends and being poll observers or volunteering as poll workers. There's a lot pointing to the polls potentially being a dangerous place to go this election cycle (the MEGA act, and talk of deploying ice to polling locations), folks being there may be an important way to protect your community
