Great #PeoplesHistory thread recounting particularly youth contributions to the long and successful fight to save Northern California's Headwaters ancient redwood forest.👇

This legendary forest is still standing because people organized mass resistance to put their bodies infront of the chainsaws.🥳
In the last year(ish) of protests that saved Headwaters Forest - Earth's largest remaining redwood forest (go visit!) - local schoolaged kids increasingly showed up at blockades of Pacific Lumber's gates.
Cops patronized them.
When kids hurled invective, the cops slumped.
We won then.
We'll win now.

Colored Convention @ccp-org.bsky.social attendees wrote a petition to state of Ohio to revoke its racist laws.

They printed it in a newspaper so it could be cut out and pasted onto larger pages that people could sign.

Northern Ontario isn’t just rocks and trees — it’s a land built on strikes, blockades, and working-class grit.

From Sudbury’s miners to Indigenous land defenders, the North has radical roots worth remembering.

Yeah for any 3 day weekend! But let's be clear this is fake "Labor Day"" created by American elites to distract U.S. workers from the real Labor Day: May 1 which is celebrated around the world to commemorate the 1886 general strikes that helped win the 8 hour work day. #PeoplesHistory 🧵 1/3

I have this book:
Mother Jones: Raising Cain and Consciousness by Simon Cordery, published by University of New Mexico Press.

Starting the Agitating the Lawless Rabble walk in the Exchange so we're not competing with the funfair

We invite you to our popular guided walk on Saturday 9th August, 2pm. **Agitating the Lawless Rabble** **Sat 9th Aug 2025 2pm** **Starting at the Left Lion (Council House), ending on Heathcoat Street (back of Broadway Cinema).** **Free Event. No need to register, just turn up.** Duration about one hour, route wheelchair accessible (but there are some hills along the way). Featuring lots of original documents and Flying Faux Custard Pies! In this guided walk around Nottingham City Centre, we will be exploring some episodes related to Nottingham’s proud tradition of independent bookshops and radical publishing. Utilising primary sources, we will listen to the echoes of incredible people’s voices and remember some of their courageous struggles, from Susannah Wright defending her bookshop against riled up bigots in the 1820s to the community papers which fuelled grassroots resistance to the Poll Tax in the late 1980s and 1990s.

Finally, the official Cervi family recipe for that simple, defiant, celebratory ANTIFASCIST pasta.

Never forget that when we organize in defense of love and dignity, we will always be stronger than tyrants.

Together we are stronger than fear or greed or hate.
