Good intentions are not enough. Organizers need tangible tools.
I'm creating virtual workshops to bring resilience and replenishment to the people who hold our local communities together: employees, volunteers, helpers, and caregivers in mutual aid groups, nonprofits, and grassroots collectives.

JFC - Trump is forcing every SNAP recipient to reapply for benefits because cruelty is always the point. There is ZERO evidence of widespread SNAP fraud.
That's not going to be a dumpster fire shitshow at all. And how much will it cost the government to review every applicant again?

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.

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

I get why people are upset about SCOTUS putting a temp freeze on SNAP funding. But Justice Ketanji Brown’s move is more strategic than it sounds—she said the 1st Circuit Court should rule first. Trump skipped that step and went straight to SCOTUS. See article for full context….1
