Evictions are a public health and racial justice crisis. Everyone deserves safe, decent, and affordable housing —in a pandemic and beyond. If you are based in Durham, NC, and have a housing justice idea or initiative, we are giving out $2000 mini-grants! southernvision.org/sen-grant…

Excerpt: There can be no real revolutionary working-class unity wihout a consistent struggle agains African American national oppression. However, the African American liberation movement must have an internationalist character, so that it helps the African American masses to see immigrant workers as their allies in a struggle against the same system of national oppression.

Locals can also access water through these sources:
mississippitoday.org/2022/08…
If you haven’t heard already Jackson, Mississippi is without water for the foreseeable future…. We must share resources, funds, and platforms with grassroots organizations who were already looking out for the community’s well-being before this crisis emerged!
Support Jackson in our critical time of need. Due to climate change & decades of neglect of our cities infrastructure the entire city is without drinking water and it is not clear when water access will be restored. Donate today at cooperationjackson.org/donat…. #Solidarity #MutualAid

Fue sólo en 2018 que gracias al trabajo de defensa y organización de base por parte de Comite De Accion Popular, Collective Comunidad (@ColectivaCLT), Siembra NC (@SiembraNC), y muchos otros que fuimos capaces de expulsar a los que abusaron de su poder.

BREAKING: A federal judge lifted an injunction blocking NC’s ban on abortion after the 20th week of pregnancy, allowing the ban to go into effect immediately.
People will now be forced to travel out of state for care or be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will.
