This is the easiest thing you will do all day. Please vote on this poll. While polls won’t save us, it can give a snapshot to how people feel, and it’s best to have a large sample size.

Los Angeles! We got stuff to do on the 23rd. Come show up in solidarity with Minnesota. Through these dark times we must resist. The people in power want you scared, isolated and alone, but this is LA and we are not about that💪

As the threat of world war looms and our government floods our streets with their secret police, it's important to remember that our voice is a tool to be used loudly and without hesitation. We will never back down in the face of adversity and we must not "become silent about things that matter!"

Gentle reminder that the murderer of Renee Good has raised significant funds in a really short time, compared to the Los Angeles Strike Fund/National Fund which has existed much much longer, and not even close. So let’s see if we can out raise a murderers GoFundMe.

Hey LA! Looking for a way to get involved on mutual aid? Here is a great place to start. Donate and also reach out to see if you can volunteer! We need to be IRL organizing and mutual aid is an awesome way to do it. Check out on Instagram: www.instagram.com/e_p_m_a_?igs...

Let’s remember to organize safely. For us, the ultimate goal is to get so much momentum that we can, as in we the people, can organize offline. Dig deep in your communities because that’s what is sorely needed for a general strike 💪

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

We made a post earlier about the tragic killing of Keith Porter, who was shot & killed by an off-duty ICE agent on NYE. We also wanted to share words from his mother, who gave a really power speech, that I think everyone should watch

ICE is killing people all over the country. On top of the post below, there is of course the killing of a woman in Minneapolis that just happened. I don’t mean to be doom and gloom but this will only get worse. This is a time for community organizing and building. This is not time to sit sidelines.

Federal immigration agents have now shot and killed multiple people since Trump took office a year ago. Today alone marks the second deadly ICE shooting IN A WEEK. An off-duty shot and killed a 43-year-old father in CA on Dec. 31.
Emotional vigil held for man killed by off-duty ICE agent on New Year's Eve
Sunday evening, a crowd of about 50 gathered at the Village Pointe apartment complex in Northridge to grieve Keith Porter Jr., who was fatally shot on New Year's Eve by an off-duty ICE agent.
