Title says "Ways To commemorate black august" Next to an image of Yes, Please bookstore is text that says "Want To Engage Locally? Go To Yes, Please! (@yespleasebooks) Yes, Please is hosting numerous events and workshops throughout the month to honor Black August. Their Black August zine is a great resource to begin educating and acting on the holiday’s key principles." Below that, beside a photo of the book Soledad Brother by George Jackson is text that says "Ways to Act Independently “Study, Fast, Train, Fight” Study Black & Brown freedom fighters and political prisoners Read books by political prisoners like “Soledad Brother” & “Assata” Get involved with local abolitionist organizations"

Here are some ways to honor Black August locally in Atlanta, and independently wherever you are.

Let us know how you plan to honor Black August this month!

An infographic titled "Black August: Honoring Black Freedom FIghters and Political Prisoners" There are three photographs on the left depicting political prisoners Assata Shakur, Mumia Abul Jamal and George Jackson. Text under the title says "As we fight against oppression in the US, it’s important to honor the legacy of the Black activists who have trailblazed and sacrificed for the same causes we fight for today. This month is an opportunity to advocate for Black freedom fighters and political prisoners who keep the spirit of resistance alive.

🧵 #BlackAugust is a commemorative month to honor the Black freedom fighters and political prisoners✊🏿 .

As we fight for freedom over our beliefs and our bodies through #ReproductiveJustice, let's remember to advocate for the activists who sacrificed so much for us to continue that fight.

This past weekend, July 20th, marked the 3rd year since Georgia’s 6-week abortion ban took effect. In this op-ed, outgoing Executive Director Allison Coffman explains why partial bodily autonomy doesn't exist. A partial ban is still about control & we must protect our freedom.

Georgians deserve honest, comprehensive, and science-based healthcare, not ideological interference.

Bold text reads 'Childcare' The text below reads 'All Georgians should have access to affordable, high-quality childcare. Localities can increase access to affordable childcare by providing childcare subsidies to low-income families, offering tax breaks to childcare providers, supporting them in applying for small business grants, and identifying opportunities for public-private partnerships in establishing new childcare centers.'
