This work was on Movement Memos a while ago: truthout.org/audio/breaki...

And in Hammer & Hope as well: hammerandhope.org/article/suda...

I’ve found it really useful in thinking about how organizing is situated in Sudan and (right now they’re fundraising!) how it can be supported.

It’s terrifying what we are witnessing in El Fashir. The UAE backed RSF encircling the city to starve and exterminate people, while the so-called intl. community treats the UAE as a peace broker.

Official Release from Daughter on the Passing of Assata Shakur
At approximately 1:15 PM on September 25th, my mother, Assata Shakur, took her last earthly breath. Words cannot describe the depth of loss that I am feeling at this time. I want to thank you for your loving prayers that continue to anchor me in the strength that I need in this moment. My spirit is overflowing in unison with all of you who are grieving with me at this time.
Sending much love and appreciation to you all,
Kakuya Shakur

We lost a warrior, a freedom fighter, a visionary, someone who changed the way I see the world. May Assata Shakur rest in power with the ancestors!

Push your institutions to designate scholar at risk funds + other support that may already exist for Ukrainian students. It’s heartbreaking to see how many Sudanese students exhaust all their resources w/o any support from the institutions and faculty who admitted them. (3/3)

the people at the institutions they are admitted to are unwilling to help them find funding, or even write letters in support of their visa applications. Without that support, it’s almost impossible to get a N. American visa. (2/3)
