***REPOST FROM SAMEER PROJECT***

🚨🚨WE NEED YOUR HELP🚨🚨 The rain and flooding from Storm Byron has wreaked havoc on Gaza. Families are without shelter, without warmth. The death count is now up to 14 people in the past 24 hours. Preventable deaths!! chuffed.org/project/1491...

Listened to this today and it was such a timely and wonderful conversation.
Aaron Goggans and I talk about what happens when movements start running on empty—how trauma, burnout, and dysregulation can shape our organizing, and what it takes to sustain ourselves and each other in a moment of crisis and emergency. I found this conversation so helpful, and I hope you will too.
Burnout Is Not Inevitable: Building Movements That Can Hold Us
“Care really should be at the center of our strategy, of our analysis, and of our practice,” says Aaron Goggans.

I just started reading Becoming Kin by Patty Krawec, and I’m feeling very grateful for her shared wisdom and knowledge. Currently processing “return to yourself and pick up your bundle” and what that means as I look around my home.

I’m her age. When I was 23 I remember hearing about her, her story was part of what radicalized me. Reading this today brings me to tears. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
Rachel Corrie would have been 46 today. Israeli tanks ran over her with a bulldozer.

Take some time to read her words explaining why she was willing to risk her life for Palestine - and of the insidious genocide there that long predates 2023.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument.

Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights a...

Thanks for this reminder, it doesn’t feel like enough but it’s what it is.
Also: I talk to a lot of full time carers. Who are tending to disabled kids or elders, some who are also contending with disability themselves

You are resisting.

You have been. Protecting and caring for those who are vulnerable is the work.

Massive protest at Children’s National in DC.

A former patient is speaking who they used in promotional to show how much they care about trans kids.

Now the hospital is one of a small few nationwide complying with trumps unlawful EO to end trans care.

Tomorrow in DC we’re protesting DC Children’s Hospital for ending all care to trans people under 19
