Mutual aid is resistance, and it's great that many #resistance organizations around the country are starting to have donation drives at #protests. If there is a canned food drive, please try to donate cans with pull tabs, because many people don't have can openers.

FYI, a better way to support food banks is cash donation. They can buy a lot more food at wholesale prices than we can buy paying retail. They also know what they need.

“The upcoming April 19th protest is themed “Mourning America.”

We’re grieving the erosion of our rights, our freedoms, and our future.

We are asking all attendees to wear black clothing — a powerful symbol of collective mourning and resistance.

Throughout history, black has been worn in protest to show defiance, unity, and grief — from the women of Argentina’s Madres de Plaza de Mayo, to the Black Panthers, to modern-day movements for justice around the world.

We wear black because we mourn — but we also fight. Let our silence be loud. Let our presence be unforgettable."

The economic damage from the tariffs is already done, regardless of what happens, and our social services are under assault. Mutual aid is resistance. Grass roots groups are preparing for the coming hardships by combining protest with canned food and baby supply drives.

This Mutual Aid fair in #Baltimore #Maryland is going on in conjunction with the #50501movement #protests on April 19th.

The 19th will not only be a day of action, but a celebration of resilience, resistance, and a call for solidarity. The vision for the 19th is to have a vibrant gathering filled with music, art, protest, food, connection, and community care. There will be multiple local organizations joining us for this act of community building. While they divide, we connect. While they hoard, we share. One meal, one ride, one act of care at a time. That’s mutual aid. That’s community. That’s how we survive and resist.

I’m being harassed via text and email by locals who tell me I’m “backing down” and “obviously wasn’t alive in the 60’s” because I’m not organizing a march for April 19. We are a town with a population of 10,000 and had almost 800 people show up to our rally last week. That’s 8% of our population!! We can’t pull of an event like that every two weeks. If anyone wants to send some virtual hugs and support, I could use it rn. How are you dealing with people who can only see what you’re doing wrong instead of seeing what they could do to help? #50501movement #indivisible #protest #handsoff

BWAHAHAHA! Congress is in recess again.

Last recess, #Indivisible groups all over the country held "empty chair" or "cardboard cutout" town halls to shame AWOL #GOP Congress critters. This document shows the efforts of all the local Indivisible chapters, organized by AWOL critters' districts.

Now they're gearing up for another round, which promises to be even more intense!

This is the shit the legacy media won't show you.

Trump’s going to own this recession he’s dragging the country into—no one else to blame. And the GOP’s going to have to answer for the damage they’ve done to our alliances and the hit to America’s global reputation. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump tries to start a war just to distract from all the shady stuff he’s been up to and the economic mess we’re heading for. People are already fired up, and I guarantee the protests are only going to get bigger and louder. #uspol #50501movement #handsoff
