Comrade Jamil Al‑Amin built Black power and defended his community, only to be stolen by the U.S. colonial government and forced to die behind enemy walls.

The revolution continues because their spirit...elder and revolutionary, cannot be caged. We honor him with relentless action. ✊🏾

Can we address the actual elephant in the room? Amerikkka is a settler colonial project. The U.S. government is illegitimate, built on genocide, land theft, and slavery.
So when you get fixated on getting Trump out and nothing else, it shows me your politics begin and end with your personal comfort.

We get push back against a general strike from folks worried that it will hurt small local businesses. Here's the thing, Fascist abuses of our communities are going to hurt small business a LOT more than a few days (or weeks or event months) of a general strike.

Avoid travel and restaurants and cancel streaming and digital subscriptions, organizers said. "If you must spend: support small, local businesses only. Pay in cash." Small Business Saturday on Nov. 30 is exempted from the blackout.

Cancel Black Friday? 'Mass Blackout' doesn't want you to shop or work to protest Trump
'Mass Blackout' is the latest in a series of holiday shopping boycotts to protest the Trump administration, DEI rollbacks and economic inequality.

What we’re fighting is not just corruption or bad leadership. It’s a system that was never designed for liberation. A system that can’t be fixed with a new president, because its foundation is domination of land, labor, and life itself.

Our work is to build beyond it.

ROOTS is an initiative we are working to implement here in Michigan. We need volunteers to help us do it. The more volunteers we have, the more food we can grow, and the more we can rely on our community instead of the state. You can find more information in the ROOTS Toolkit in our bio.

The ingredients for freedom are simple: labor, action, and unity. The workers, the unemployed, the incarcerated, the unhoused, students, tenants and so on all contribute to the lifeblood of this system. To seize the beans of production is to take back what our hands already create.

We know accessibility isn't a side issue. It`s part of building real solidarity. Disabled comrades can help us strengthen connections with groups fighting for disability rights, justice, and access, and make sure our organizing reflects everyone's needs.

They taught us to wait for someone else to fix things our cars, our communities, our lives.

But we’re learning to do it ourselves, together.
